vinced that the relation between capital and labour
demand the early attention of the legislature; will give
espeeial attention to all questions relating to sanitary
and,physieal improvement, and to the progreu of educa-
tion ; while he will ever be ready and willing to apply
his best energies to the import and improvement of
the local interests. On Friday evning. we understand,
