GENTLEMEN,— You will soon be called upon to OX3I cisc the privileges conferred by the Constitution in tho elcctton of a Repieseutative of yonr interests in the General Assembly, and, ajso. in the Provincial Council. Having been solicited to accept both these nominations I havo cmiaeuted to the proposal ; and, if necessary, vloiaand a, poll. Should you elect me as jour Representative, I shall strenuously urge tbe facility of access and great security of your splendid harbour, the salubrity of your clinyte a.ud fertility of tbe soil, which, I believe, Qiiiy requhes' some modification in the existing land laws (affording eveiy facility to tho*e who are witling to ieside on the land and cultivate it) to cause an immediate and large increase to your population and to the Electoral Koll, sufficiently preponderating over any obstacles tbat can be rniseii by the Southern portion of the colony to prevent Reparation, followed by effcoliYO a.nd economical Government for the fcfovth, in which I intend being a perm.in.ent resideut,
I lemain, Yours faithfully,
EDWIN OAKLEY.
