ELECTION NOTICES.

Tho Snpeiintcndental Election is now assuming a far different phase than was anticipated. Mr Gillies, from what wo can learn, has carried his audiences completely hy storm and has effected an impression more fovorahlo 'than could have been anticipated by his most ardent and sanguine supporters. At Tuapeka his address was most favorably received, and at its termination, if possible a more than hearty support was promised him. At Invercargill on Saturday night last, ho held a meeting which was unanimously attended. A proposition was carried by two to one, “That his views regarding tho views of the Superintendent, and the rights of the electors were sound, and amply justified him in contesting tho election.” On leaving tho hall, Mr. Gillies was most enthusiastically cheered. At Queenstown, after a lengthened address, which was attentively listened to, the following proposition and amendment wore submitted to the meeting, resulting in the latter being carried. “ That Mr. Gillies is a fit and proper person to bo elected as Superintendent of this Province.” “ That this meeting thanks Mr. Gillies for his expression of his opinions, hnt declines to express an opinion thereupon until Mr. Maoandrew ho heard. At Cromwell a largo and influential meeting was hold at Kidd’s Hotel on Wednesday night. At tho close ot tho address it was proposed, “That in consequence of tho liberal views expressed by Mr. Gillies on the Land Question, this meeting has every confidence in that gentleman as a candidate for tho Snporinteudcncy, and considers him a fit and proper person for that important office. An amendment proposing simply a vote of thanks to the candidate was proposed, but was not seconded. Tho motion and amendment was, however, put to the meeting, and tho former carried almost unanimously. On Thursday afternoon at Alexandra, ho addressed a small but influential meeting of electors, and was accorded a most hearty welcome, and promises of support. In tho evening ho occupied the platform at Clyde, where he revived some latent friendly feelings towards tho Herd party, and drew forth during his address marked feelings of approbation. The voice of the meeting at its close was favorable to Mr. Gillies. Mr. 'Macandrew, from tho fact of the

imited time between the nomination and thb poll, and the amount of official business that requires his personal superintendence, finds It impossible to stump the country, and issues an address to the electors instead (to which we refer our readers.) Mr. Macandrew’s committee however, are busy, and working energetically in the cause of their leader, and are sanguine of suoces. The poll, however, will decide.
