L. Broadbent, Esq., and the Gentlemen signing the requisition. Gextlehen,—l thank you very sincerely for the honouryou have done me in requesting me to become a candidate for the representation of your district in the Provincial Council, and I have great pleasure in coalplying with your request. I think the fact of my having a large interest in the district renders it hardly necessary to assure you that I shall be always anxious to attend to any suggestions for its benefit, and that I shall endeavour to promote those purely local objects which do not inter fere with the welfare of the province as a whole. I will not on the present occasion, enter upon the great variety of subjects, affecting the province generally, which must necessarily engage the attention of the next Provincial Council; but I propose, with a view of affording opportunities for the exposition and discussion of my opinions, to request you to meet me at such convenient places, as will allow of the attendant- of all the electors of the district, 1 will, however, advert, at once, to a proposal recently made for reducing the price of land; because I wish to declare my unqualified opposition to it. And Ido this, not only because the question is, in itself, one of the most vital importance, but also, because the mere fact of its having been raised has already, as it appears to me, done ■infinite mischief, by creating a feeling of doubt and uncertainty in transactions connected with land. I do not indeed believe that the proposal will ever be given effect to, or that it will be entertained by any who, from a lengthened residence in the province, have been in a position to watch the course of events, to observe the steadiness with which the principle embodied in our Land Regulations has been adhered to, and to appreciate the beneficial results which have been the consequence. Still it appears to me desirable that a matter of such paramount importance to the future welfare of the province should be brought prominently forward by any candidate for a seat in the Provincial Legislature, in order to elicit an express declaration of opinion on the part of the electors. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedt. servant, 72 c HENRY J. TANCRED MR. LANCE'S COMMITTEE, MR. LANCE'S COMMITTEE meets .
