GENTLEMEN – I accept with pride and gratitude your invitation to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of Melbourne on the Legislative Council and I am prepared to place my best energies at the service of this borough.
The interests of Melbourne as a rising commercial town, and the capital of an extensive pastoral district, seem to point out the especial duties of its representatives in the Legislature. These interests it shall be my constant study to understand and promote.
Of the many and strong claims of the Melbourne Corporation on the Government, I shall be found at all times the zealous and unwearied advocate.
Distinguished beyond most other persons by my firm and unbounded reliance on the ultimate prosperity and greatness of the colony of Port Phillip, and which the recent unexampled distresses of the time have never for a moment shaken, it will be my pride and duty to contribute to the introduction of such legislative measures as will best promote the prosperity and the greatness which I so confidently predict.
If these, gentlemen, are the sentiments you look for in your representative, I shall be proud of your suffrages on the day of election.
St Heliers, near Melbourne,
