TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, IN the choice you have recently made of Dr. Fer.thercton as Superintendent, an election to which you so largely contributed by your votes, you have shown your appreciation of his policy and his long continued efforts for the prosperity of the Province. You are now called upon to elecb twelve members to represent you in the Provincial Council, and I need hardly point out to you tho importance of Hi? *ask imposed upon you". If, from the apathy or indifference of the Electors throughout the Province, a majority of members is returned opposed to the Superintendent's policy, much difficulty would probably result ; if, on the other hand, n Council is elected, composed of members who on general questions entertain the saint opinions as the Superintendent, you will have the two working toßethcr in harmony, agreed upon main questions, but acting aa a check vpen each other in the manner so evidently intended by the Constitution Act. On a previous occasion yam did me the honour of electing me as one of your representatives, and I now aeek a renewal of the trust. If elected, I shall, without giving a blind adherence to nny, be found as heretofore, a consistent supporter of the party with which 1 have so Inng cooperated in working out the policy needful for the development and good government of Ibis important Province ; a policy which, by the election of Dr. Fentherston as Snpei'intendent, you have already stamped with your approval. I am, gentlemen 1 our obedient servant, W. WARING TAYLOR. TO THE ELKCroRtNOF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. GWNTLEMEN, I HAVE been asked by some of you to offer myself as a candidate tor a seat in the Provincial Council, and I have now the honour of complying with the request. Although I have not resided amongst you for very many years, I am known to most of you as one who has taken a share in the working of some of our local institutions. In politics, I have hitherto taken no active runt, and 1 hesitate to express the opinions I ntild on the subjects now engaging the attention of the public, but would rather appeal to you for support, on the general grounds that I have a sincere desire to see the province prosper, and that 1 will, if elected, give my support, as an independent member, to those measures that may appear to me likely to be for the welfare of all classes of the community. While I hope always to act uninfluenced by personal considerations, I would add that my private interests are now so bound up with those of the Province, that you have some guarantee that I have its prosperity at heart. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient gsrvant, EDWARD PEARCE. Wellington, April 15, 1865 '

TO THJS ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gextlemkw, I BEG to offer myself aa a candidate for a seat in the next Provincial Council. The most of you are aware of the part I have tnlcen in politics during the time I havo had the honour of representinc: you, and it only remains for me to cay, that, if you are satisfied with my past conduct and show your confidence by re-electing me, I pledge myself to vote independently and to the best of my judgment on all measures brought forward that in my opinion would be most beneficial to the advancement and welfare of the province and this city. I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Bervant, george crawford. tcTthlT electors of the city of wellington. Gentlemen, I AM candidate for a seat in the Provincial Council, and refer you to what 1 endeavoured to do in the lasb Council, as a guarantee of what I intend to do if elected in the next. Should you so far approve of the past as to return me again, I will exert myself faithfully to discharge my duties as your representative. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. DRANSFIELD. Wellington, April 14. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OP WELLINGTON. Brother Electors, IIIAVE been requested by a number of the electors of the City of Wellington to allow myself to be nominated as a candidate for the Provincial Council, and I have no hesitation in acceding to the wish. I have no doubt that my views, with reference to the past administration of the Government of this Province, are known to you all. There is no question that the legislation has been to some extent partial, and that the working portion of the population have not had that attention paid to their requirements whioh they merited. Should Ibe elected, it will be my earnest endeavour to see this great fault remedied, and to the best of my ability I will aid in ca"rying out every pro . position which has for its object the benefit of the working classes, while I will consistently oppose any measure which is calculated to render the monopoly of the public lands by any class a mattei of little difficulty. 1 am entirely in favour of the establishment of roads throughout the country, and the setting apart of biooks of agricultural land
