GENTLEME N —Your [Requisition, signed by such a large number of my fellowsettlers, including many old and valued friends whose confidence I highly prize, and with whose wishes I should naturally feel it a pleasure to comply, has just been placed in my hands. With the opinion I have always entertained and expressed, as to the obligation which every member of a free, and especially of a young community is under, to place the best public services in his power at the disposal of that community when called upon to do so, I do not feel myself at liberty to urge my own unfitness for the office, or the necessary sacrifice of my private feelings and interest, as sufflciont reasons for not complying with such a request. Whilst, therefore, I must be allowed to say that I feel myself unequal to the responsible and, in many respects ) peculiarly unpleasant duties that I clearly see to be just now inseparable from the office you seek to confer upon me, I am prepared, at yonv request, to place myself in the hands of the electors, in the full confidence that should they by their votes call upon me to accept the office, they will continue to me tii? same kind forbearance, consideration, and support, which J have so invariably experienced from them in the execution of the duties connected with the rather numerous public engagements which they have during the last ten years entrusted to my hands. My opinions upon most provincial questions have been so frequently expressed in public as to bo well known to most of the electors, and the day of nomination will afford me an opportunity to give a full statement of my views upon the present condition, prospects, and requirements of this province. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, A. SAUNDERS. Nelson, February 27, 1865. HOP POLES. mENDERS are invited, and will be reI ceived until the 15th March next, for the supply of the whole or a portion of 10,000 HOP POLES, to be delivered in Nelson. For further particulars, apply to HOOPER, DODSON, AND AITKEN, Nelson Brewery. Nelson, February 25. 345
