This meeting expresses the conviction that tosmiteli as tiro referendum lias been repeatedly requested by the respective governing courts at four, denominations repress® tiftg 75 per ceiit. of the- papulation, .which request lias been reiterated by the constituencies of those- denominations, and further endorsed by a request in writ*ing sighed by upwards oil iSH.OOO individual electors, tho Government is more than amply justified in facilitating the- wishes of such a largo proportion of the. people. Mores vor as the request is not ashing the Government to decide on the IUM-its of this League's proposals, lmt to allow the people of the Powiirion to eoate to a decision, them* s-elves mi the matter, this meeting would regret any action 011 the part of. the Government- which, by leaving this question standing' over, wWa thereby constitute it a disturbing factor at the nest General Election,"
