Peirce to The attention of all officers of the government is respectfully invited to the impropriety of any official interference in determining the question of succession to the throne. It is a question upon which every subject undoubtedly feels the deepest interest, and all have a right to express their views in an orderly manner, individually and collectively, and to suggest their wishes to the members of the legislative assembly, to whom, by the constitution, the right of choosing a successor belongs.

F. W. HUCHISON, December 18, 1872
