TN THE POSSIBLE EVENT OF A DISSOLUTION, , And a consequent APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY '• ■ "' ■' '■ BT ■'•■ : : ■'■■■ A GENERAL ELECTION, The attention of the ELECTORS IS SPECIALLY AND EARNESTLY DIRECTED ; To the concluding portion of the COLONIAL TREASURER'S SPEECH :— Let me, before I conclude, implore honourable members . not to allow party feelings' to interfere with their consideration of the proposals we hare made. If they like to, Relieve us , from ' carrying out the work let them do so, but do not let them in hostility to .the men condemn the measures) If we were actuated by a desire to retain office, or to hold it on easy terms, we" are fully aware that we are not serving either purpose by our proposals; we know;' that nothing would be easier than to make the approaching appeal to the country the; excuse for hi'rrying through the session without racing any debatable questions. But do us the justice to suppose that all party considerations sink into utter insignificance in our minds, when we place them in competition with questions of such large moment., r-3 those we have raised. It may be that some honourable members wilHbink those questions prematurely raised — will be of opinion that there is no need to he otherwise than, contented with .affairs .precisely as tbey> at present- stand. Whilst we will freely allow thai their viewa are honestly and di*--. interestedly entertained, however , little ms; are able to agree with them, let them do w; the justice to believe, that -we are., impelled &. the; enormous responsibility w£ have under^ taken, in proposing such measures, by an ; overwhelming conviction that they are de manded in the interests of a country great fa-, its resources, in its position, in its hardy and energetic population, in the traditions which spur its people onwards, and in those circum? stances of desertion and contumely which have east upon the colonißte ; unusually large duties, and left in their minds proportionately high aspirations. We shall be told that these, proposals will entail, on posterity v an enormous burden/ Grantedy--but they will give ; to posterity enormous means out of which to meet it. Every member has constituents whom be represents ; ; he will be justified^ . assuring them that, the measures we propose, will benefit every person in the community, from the highest to the lowest, from therichest to the poprest. They will lead the^ colony to prosperity, and enable it to do justice to its splendid resources. •j „ ell?l
