Many of you are aware that I have, from the flrst.heartily sympathised Avith Sir George Grey 1 in his wise and patriotic efforts to secure for the 1 people of the Colony the fullest poAvers of self ! goA'ernnient.

You Avill find me, if elected, among the most earnest supporters of Sh George Grey and of his Ministry in any en deavour to attain this end which he has kept so steadily in view: ! The taxation of the country, under the present system, bears unfairly on labour.
