Reply Harbour Grace, January 6.

To the Free and Independent Electors of the District of Harbour Grace.

Gentlemen, --

    It has ever been to the honor of your district, that its representation was kept above the reach of political factions, and made the unsullied gift of the independent judgement of the people, in relation to public affairs.  This it is, which invests your invitation with special and additional significance, and coming, as it does, with the weight of testimony imparted by the signatures of so large a porportion of your leading and honored citizens and a majority  of the electors, I accept it as a proud distinction and tender you my warmest gratitude.
    I frankly respond to your suggestion – that I shall not consent to the carrying of any measure of importance to which the people may be opposed.
