SIR,— .Your loiter of Slst January, in which you refer to tho oircnlur appeal which his Honor j Major tiiclwrdson atldi-ossed to tho Jtlcotors, Imspurposely roinninful unanswered till now, in order that before farther coiumunioation with yon, your supporters and the oleutovs conerally, might bo nllo.ved nihplo time to reflect upon tho altered position in j whtuh you and they are paced, in oonscquonoo of tho j appeal'of his Honor Major lliohardsou to which yon refer. While wo fully appreciate tho honorable feelinir which prompted you to refuse to become a candidate for the office of Superintendent, until his Honor Major Richardson niado public his intentions to with* ilntw from public life, and while wo do also admire your subsequent straightforward and geutlemanliko conduct in allowing your supporters to reconsider and if necessary to withdraw their requisition to you, if any misapprehension existed as to hia Honor Major Kiwliardsoivs publicly avowed determination to retire from ollice ; yet after maturely considering tho conduct of his Honor Miyor Kiclnirdson, in first assuring the public, in unmistakeablc terms, that he would not again seek the suftViipres of the clontovs, while almo.-t simultaneously with tliatassurancp, he issued a letter to the electors, asking for an expression of their views, or to use his own language "whai I shall equally uncUrstnnd your expressive silence," us to whether ho should again accept oflico; we say that after reflecting on the conduct of his Honor in this matter, and oh the expressive silence of the electors with reference ts his appeal, niul considering the fluttering resolutions in your favor passed at a public meeting at Lake Wakatipn, we would show ourselves wanting in ze:d for the prosperity of the Province were we not respectfully to press upon yon the necessity of allowing yourself to remain a candidate for the office of Superintendent.
