EDWARD FISCHER MARLAY, ESQ., J.P.,

THE HONORABLE JOSEPH DOCKER, ESQ., J.P.,

Brindley Park, Merriwa, April 18th, 1808.

MY DEAR JOSEPH-I trust you will exouse the

mode I have adopted in addressing you, but as

the only mention of. my name in connection with yours

for the last fourteen years bas been a public one, and

thus made publie hy yourself, I will offer no further

From the friendly feelings you have ever evinced to-

wards me sin oe we first became acquainted, I was led to

believe, that whenever in your power to do so, yon would

give those feelings full scope, and you cannot think how

gratified I felt at perceiving tho alacrity with wbioh you

seized the first opportunity that presented itself to do

It is foolishly supposed by many unsophisticated .in-

dividuals, that the more infiuenoe a man is possessed of

to do good or evil to those he dislikes or esteems, the

more guarded and cautious he should be in making uso

of it, particularly at the outset of a political caroor, when

in common with the reBt of bis species ho may naturally

be supposed to entertain a wish to gain himself a name

for striot impartiality and absenoe of personal feeling, but

you and I, as men of the world, know better ; we know

that human nature will be hnman nature, whether en-

closed in the person of a member of the Legislative

Council or a chimney sweep, and that it would be use-

less to pretend otherwise.

Instigated therefore by that kindly feeling of whioh

your truthful, generous, and manly nature is so capable,

and your possession of whioh is so well known and re-

membered by all who may have come under ÜB influ-

ence, you nobly took advantage of your elevation to the

honorable dignity of a member of tho Upper House, and

at the risk of being considered partial (although from a

generous motive you tried to conceal the fact), endea-

voured to relieve me from the responsibility of an oflflco

the temptations and trials of which no one is a moro

competent judge than yourself. You remember (?)

Docker v. Beams, Dooker t>. Coxen, &o., &c., &c.

I am the more indebted to you for these exertions in

my behalf, because the small acts of kindnoas and atten-

tion I waa able to perform for you and yours whilst re-

siding at Scone, certainly never oould warrant such a

return ; however, I can only thank you, and rest in the

hope of ono day or another being able to make you som o

more substantial acknowledgment.

From the length of time (fourteen years), you hovo

nursed this kindly feeling towards me, I think I may

safely take upon myself tho privilege of an ol.I friend,

and I would first make uso of it to ebide you for not

acquainting me privately of your intention to Btand for

the " three oountiea." You must have been aware of the

infinite pleasure it would have afforded me to have

given my influence here in your favour. Had it not been

that I perceived your elevation to a seat in the Upper

House, I should have been inconsolable.

Again, under the plea of our long friendship, permit

me to ask, why in the name of all that is glorious, did

you not first procure a seconder for your land scheme

resolutions prior to bringing them before the House?

Gracious me, Joseph, why what were you about ?

Only think of the days' and nights' study thal scheme

cost you ; the toil and trouble, the writing, and erasing,

and correcting, and fair copying ; tho references to old

Acts end Government regulations; why, surely every

moment you could well spare from thinking of me must

have been fully occupied. And, then, your speeob in

presenting them. How I can seo you pacing your study,

copy in band, committing ita more lengthy paragraphs

to memory, your admiration of this the first great effort

of your political ability, the grand soheme which was to

render your name celebrated in the annals of your

adopted country's councils ; and, now,-but it is not

friendship's task to add to already acerbated feelings

Do you know, I almost fancy that your motion with

regard to me may have had something to do with your

not having been able to procure a seconder for your

resolutions; that other honorable members, not seeing,

or perhaps not appreciating thorne feeling that caused

you to be so exceedingly pertinacious in my behalf,

were unwilling to identify themselves with you, fearing

they might be suspooted of sharing in oil your schemes

alike. If such should have been the case, ob, Joe 1 how

deeply must I feel for your disappointment ; how must

I regret that you Bbould have sacrificed the chance of BO

muoh celebrity for my sake. This thought haB oaused

mo, I can assure you, much perturbation of mind,

knowing you to be Bach a oreature of impulse, or as

jour own words have it, tho "Victim of impulse from

your youth." By the by, do you remember the occasion

upon whioh you wrote those words t Don't be alarmed ;

I am not going to remind you. You know I am not

suob an impulsive oreature aa yourself, and therefore

1 more considerate of others. However, you may be sure

I shall be anxious to hear how you bear your dis-

One more parting word. You must know how pain-

ful it would be to mo to be the oooasion of any annoy-

ance to you ; I therefore beg, for my sake, if not for your

own, that you will not allow any benefit that mny accrue

to mo from your exertions on my behalf to militate

against the inestimable advantages that tho public

might otherwise obtain, by the dovotion of the whole o''

your energies to its servioo.

Believe me, my dear Joseph,

P.S.-By tho by, I forgot to congratulate you upon the

great talent for invention displayed in your motion on

my behalf in the Counoil. I think I can do you the

orodit of saying that thero are fow men in New South

Wales who oould have "made so much out of so little,"

I have often' wondered, that with your well-known

imaginativo faoulty, you have nover tried novel

writing. Believo me, on the word of an old friend, you

would find it far moro profitable and oasy than a
