TO THE ELECTORS OF NEW ZEALAND.. : BROTHER Tji LECTORS— As the Election XJ of Members for. the Genera! Assembly will shortly take, place, I beg to laf before you a series of questions to be put to those gentlemen who may be desirous of; looking after your interests in the House of Representatives. Most of these questions are selected from a number carefully drawn up by a Committee ot intelligent men in England, who had made themselves well acquainted withthe laws of their country. I.— Will you bind yourself, to accept from no Minister place, promise, or favor of whatever description, or to look for such ? 2. — Will you oppose every measure for the increase of .Customs, and use your, best endeavours to lessen or abolish them, arid will you seek to^ establish taxation oh the scale of property ? . 3. — Do you bind yourself to resist by every means every vote of money incurred or to V 'j Bie incurred foj purposes that are not 6trictly lawful, or stridtly necessary ?. . . : 4.— Do you hold the duties of a Member of the House of Eepresentatiye|?to consist in pro- ; tecting the pockets, morals, trade; rights, and liberties of his constituents and- tha country against Ministers, or in havujftw opinions upon abstra^ subjects ? "•. Tjr • s.— Do you conceive the business of a Minister to be the enforcing of the laws that exisD y~\ or the making of new "ones ? 6.— Do you hold the duties of a Member to consist in the enquiry into grievances with a view to their redress, or in uniting himself tb a party ? . I.~~ Do you hold that a. Member reauires any qualifications, such as the knowledge of Constitutional Law, and of the transactions in which the Government involves the country ? And are youpossessed of that knowledge ? 8. — Can you declare, on your honor as a gentle man, that you will, on every occasion, without tear-or favor, pursue' every doubtful case to its issue, ancf enforce reparation when wrong has be^r done ? 9. — Will you all you ean to enforce the attendance of every member in his place whilst business is being carried on ? 10.— Will you, on the proposal of new measures, convene your constitutents, submit such measures to them, and be guided by their decision thereon in any vote which you give ? - • ' 11.— Will you resist any and every attempt to tamper with trial by jury, either byaccept- * ing the verdict of the majority, or by abolishing the grand .jury. 12.— Will you try every means to exclude placemen from the House of Representatives ? 13.— Will you hold the Minister to be the person you are sent neither to support nor y oppose, because of his opinions, but to ' supervise and to control in regard. his acts ? 14.— Will you hold yourself to be commissioned - to" represent, not the opinions of any class, but the . grievances and wants of your con- : stituents ; ahd, as a juryman, bound in your conscience to give a true verdict in. all matters submitted to you ? 15.— D0 you hold the functions of a Minister to consist in the introduction of speculative measures of legislation, or iu the administration of the Colony ? _ And will you resist every legislative proposal emanating from the Government, on the grounds that it is a falsification of their duties, and consequently a normal obstruction of public business ? 16. — Will you strenuously exert yourself to get ! the nefarious Pehsioir Act abolished ? . 212& AN ELECTOR THE NELSON EVENING MAIL, published every Evening.
