difference, of opinion. This is not the fitting place for' discussing these differences, or fw going into detailed explanations. Other opportunities will be afforded, and .at the hustings I shall be perfectly •willing to answer any questions' that may beput/to'" me by theelectors ; but I may'-perhaps", be aHoWed>:> to- express my opinion that tfie present state of the* J Province especially demands that those tcivhomT the conduct of public affairs is entrusted should be ' men who, by their consistency -and ability, Wye'en- - titled themselves to the confidence of the people. There might then be a reasonable hope that their acts would meet with a liberal construction, and their proposed measures be fairly and impartially discussed; '" _ This confidence the present Government can neither command nor expect, and the result can only be anarchy and ruin. The giving an equal representation to the whole of the Province is a subject ■which calls for immediate adjustment, while the improvement of our internal and external means .of communication is scarcely second to it in importance. Should you do me the honour to place me in the Council, thestf" and every other subject brought before it shall hs-Ufe ' my best attention. 1 As a perfectly independent member, my hearty support would be given to those and to those only, who should conduct the affairs of the Province with economy, honesty, and efficiency to secure which advantages Representative Government is but the means, and failing in which object it becomes only a delusion and a sham. Sincerely thanking you for the good opinion you ■ have expressed, and which it shall be my constant endeavour to deserve, I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, W. LAMBERT.
