} AVING been chosen by the Majority

of the tlouse of Assembly to fill the office of Colonial Secretary, under the new system of Government. and his Ex- cellency the Lieut. Governor, in accord- ance with the wishes of that Mejority, having appointed me thereto, my seat ta the Assembly has become vacant, and I aim required to go back to you, in order that you may ratify by re-electing me, the selection which His Excellency an ihe Majorny ofthe Assembly have made.

You ure no doubt aware, by the pub

lished proceedings of the Assembly, that 1 recorded my vote ayainst giving retir.ng allowances to the Aiturney Generali and Colonial Secretary, This vote was given by ine with much reluctance, butin strict conformity with & pledge | had made to you. I regretted having given thm pledge, inasmuch as it cormpelled me ta appear in opposition to that parry with whom I have uniformly acted—for, were [ not restrained by my pledge, I should have cheerfully voted with the Majority ; because | cannot deem that the cence? sion made by the Assembly,and demanded by the Lieut. Governor, in compliance with his unperative instructions, ought te be putin comparisen with the hmmenss advantages which will ecerue to this Ce- lony from the introduction of Responsibis Government. It is not necessary that T should particularise these advantages on

| this occasion, as | have no doubt they

are well understood by most of you, aud av lt will have a better opportunity of en- tering intoa full explanation of them, should that be required, at the time of the election. Suffice it to say that, indepem- dently of the great privilege which the people now possess, under the truly Britis system of Government conceded to this {sland, of controlling the administration of their own affairs—Imperial revenues tothe amount of nearly two thousand pounds, hitherto beyond the controul of the Legislature, have been surrendered to the Colony.

in conclusion, I trust that my past con- duct is a sufficient guarantee that | have not abused the confidence with which you have honoured me; and cheered by the consciousness of having faithfully discharged my duty, [ am now emboiden- ed to solicit your suffrages at the ensuing Election.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen,

Your obedient servant, JAMES WARBURTON, Charlottetown, April 28, 1851.
