QENTLEMEN,-I beg to inform >-" you that lam a Candidate for your suffrages, and my principal reason for being so is owing to tl'e action taken by the other five candidates in employing paid agfints to secure signatures in order to have ihemSilves alone—not only individuaVy, but collectivelyreturned. Adir't they f-e chosen by a majority of five, who is to represent the minoiity unless the election is contested? Allow Provincial Institutions are on the decay (and I trust soon to be supplanted by Local Boards, having only a paid secretai/ and engineer). Grant this; but are the Electors of City West to give a block vote to those five on the ticket who do not deign to condescend to of'l a meeting and give expression to their views on tl'e questions of the daj\ Then, if so, I say if they vote tar those men Jet every right, honest-minded man unite with roe in saying persh at once Provincial Institutions. Electors of City West, no man has a right to seek your vote unles3 he selves you an honest expression of what he intends to advocate. Now, hear mine. Let us first unite in sav'ng this country from being sunk deeper in debt. Let useless ofFicia's be shewn the door, and earn their living as God and Nature intended— by the sweat of their brow. Next, let us advance and promote education by all means in our power ; and understand by this I mean a good, sound, national sytsem of Secular education, and in entertaining this view I may lose many a vote. But in giving my opinion thus I speak from known and practical experience. I received my elementary education in the Nation?! Schools of Ireland, established by the Earl of Derby, and my best and loving schoolmates were those of different creeds ; and now, in my mature yeais, I can honestly say that my be~t fiiends are also those of different denominations. Say in a locality where CO or 80 scholars could be found professing five or six different creed?, it is plain they cannot have a school to suit each denomination, and I should think it is equally ps plain if they cannot have live or six schools that they nrnst have one, and that it must be conducted on the Secular system ; if not, see the result. The master will have at certain hours to call up all Protestants ("Come to your lessons"), then all Catholic, next al' Presbyterians, and so on to the last two scholars, who happen to be Jews. Enforce this system/and you at once throw into that school the apple of dLcord, for each party will tell the other they have no chance of going to Heaven and the end will be that they cannot be kept from fighting and killing one another. Now I think every man who intends to make this place his home should use eveiy effort in his power to stamp and crush out every thing that would tend to create religious strife and ill-feeling amid the rising generation of New Zealfid. On th* Permissive Bill question I may state briefly that I am not in favour of any well-conducted house being closed up, and thereby increase the trade of the adjoining hotel. I eha"'. t. "llingly aid and assist any movement that v. 11l have for its object the prevention of drink being landed on our shores. Let none be allowed to importit but chemists, and a heavy fineinflicted if sold except on a doctor's prescription ; to effect a cere in any disease the root must be grappled with. Bring pressure to bear on the Government of the day to pr°s a Bill of this kind, and it will be no longer in their power to increase their own salaries. I have now honestly stated my views If they meet with your approval elect me as your member. But if, on the contra"i/, you reject me for giving you the honest expression of my sentiments, in that case I shall consider it to be a preater honor to be at the bottom than at the top of the poll. There are no loaves and fishes attached to it. On that account I cannot afford to employ any paid agents ; nor yet on principle wiV. I bail up any man for his vote ; and if returned I cannot afford to give one minute of my time till after 6 p.m. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully W. KIRBY. pRINCE OP WALES THEATRE. Lessees G. W.
