Should I therefore, not be present on the day of nomination for the election of Superintendent, you will I hope acquit me of any want of respect to those at whose hands I seek a renewal of the high trust so long confided to me. My presence on the hustings can scarcely be deemed material; for you undoubtedly will judge mo, not by promises for the future, but by my past administration of the Government of the Province. j Whatever your verdict nisy be, 1 shall most cheerfully acquiesce in it, and shall ever remember with gratitude the kind and generous confidence you have, during a period of nearly twelve years, and in trying and difficult times, reposed | in me. j I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, I, E.
