Graham, Pitt and Bennett | HAVE RECEIVED DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURERS, And abb now Displaying in thb ShowRoom— A CHOICE LOT OF THE Latest •kto v e l t i e s A T E S T IN OVELTIES IN LADIES’ FANCY APRONS CHILDREN’S PINAFORES In Lawn, Cambric, Muslin, and Embroidery, Thompson’s Glove-Fitting and Culrasso CORSETS. Ladles' Hand Made UNDERCLOTHING, IZOD'S Favorite CORSETS, AND OTHER SPECIALTIES TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. GENTLEMEN, —At the request of a largo number of my fellow settlers, I have consented to stand for the district,

I feel honored by the distinction of being asked to represent the district which I have lived in for seventeen years, and have seen so improved by settlement as to be one of the best in the colony. I need hardly say that if returned I shall do my utmost for the electorate.

While feeling that I should be greatly honored by being returned, I yet consider that Electors are under an obligation to a Member, if he does his duty, for the time, trouble, and expanse he Is put to on their behalf.

I regret that I cannot spare time at this busy season ot the year to canvass, nor am I so wealthy as to be able to spend money over tbe election.

I will at the larger centres ot population address tbs Electors and give such information as to my political opinions as may be necessary, which, combined with a know, ledge ot me that a great manj- ot my fellowsettlers have, sliounl be amply sufficient to satisfy Electors in voting, I should, if returned, expect to exercise entire independence in my actions in Parlinment, using my judgment to vote «» I thick right and best suited for the consfi’iionoy, lama believer In the present Government, with Sir Harry Atklnaoq ns Premier, though I should nqt liq n blind supporter, I think the late addition tp the ilinistry ant} the new distribution of seats likely tp strengthen the present Government; and I consider their steady conduct in thp affairs qf the country, particularly with regal'd'to retrenchment, has materially resuscitated the credit ot th« colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowing, This country, I believe, is now recovering from the long depression, and only wants ft continuation o! the present careful management, and rest from experimental politics, to make great progress, not perhaps by leaps and bounds as formerly, but surely, steadily, and on a firmer and more lasting basis, I should vote for reduction in taxation directly it is possible, I believe in every facility being given for men of small means to acquire tend, and that land for such purposes sheql4’ be opened tor selection wherever sqltable. In Native land matters, after considerable experience, I believe |n absolute free trade, removing qIJ passible restrictions. I SHI a strong advocate of free education, but consider that under present circumstances tbe cost is greater than wo pan afford, From my iqng reefdenco here, I know the district mtimotply. and gqt wants and interests are identwi, I fear that 1 am wanting in powers of oratory to do full justice to the constituency in Parliament, but whatever ability I may possess I should use it to the utmost of my power for the better government of the country and the benefit of the district. A, O, ARTHUB.
