To E. W. STAFFORD, Esq., Dr. MONRO
F. JOLLIE, Esq., and the others who
signed the Address.
GENTLEMEN—I beg to return my sincere
thanks for the Address with which you have
presented me on my retiring from the
administration of the Government of this
Province, or I should rather say on my
declining to be put in nomination as Super-
intendent under the New Constitution.
While you take this opportunity of re-
cording in such strong and flattering terms
your view of the manner in which I have
performed the duties of that office, I at the
same time received from his Excellency
the Governor "letters patent," summoning
me to the Upper Chamber of the Legislature
of the Colony, "to mark (as the Despatch
which accompanied it stated) his Excel-
lency's sense of the value of the highly im-
portant services which I had rendered to the
Local Government for so many years, during
which very arduous duties have devolved
upon me." On this united testimony of the
Governor and the People, I place the highest
value; it enables me to look back upon my
past career with no ordinary degree of
satisfaction, as being of a nature to elicit
such strong expressions from two quarters
who are so able to judge of its usefulness.
The summary of Statistics you give for
the six years I held the office of Superin-
tendent, exhibits the great progress the
settlement has made, the prosperity it has
attained, and the improvements that have
been effected—no one can more sincerely
rejoice at this result than I do, but the merit
rests with yourselves more than with me, as
these blessings have been brought about
chiefly by your own perseverance and
industry, and by the cordial co-operation
and support I invariably received from all
classes of the community;—to this good
understanding I attribute the success which
has attended the measures I took to endea-
vour to promote the prosperity of the
settlement.
Replete as your address is with flattering
eulogiums, there is none which I esteem
more highly than your placing in so promi-
nent and favourable a light the social and
friendly relations that subsist between us.
I can only say that as Superintendent it was
always my earnest solicitude to advance the
interests of this rising Province, and in my
private capacity to cultivate a friendly inter-
course, and to promote good feeling among
all classes of the settlers—the former has
been amply rewarded by the notice that has
been taken of my public services, and the
latter by the gratification I experience at
residing among you, with the knowledge
that such feelings as those expressed in the
address, are so generally entertained towards
myself and my family.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
M. RICHMOND.
