No. 45

With reference to previous correspondence, I have the honor to
forward copy of a Resolution passed by the Legislative Council
on the subject of Union with the Dominion of Canada. Desiring
on the whole to see the project carried out I cannot be blind to
the great difficulties which obstruct it's progress. I
enclose copy of the paragraphs on the subject which appeared in
the speech, with which I opened the Legislative Council, and in
that with which I closed it.
