for small farm settlements, but I shall also advocate tho necessity for the introduction of a stream of immigration for the purpose of I peopling the provii cc, and thereby increasing its importance. The amendment of the existing Land Regulations i 3 to my mind a question of i paramount importance, and, in the event of my being chosen I will devote myself to the achievement of this end. There has been a good deal of Dr. Featherston's administration which has met with my entire approbation, but he has taken many steps which I have viewed in a contrary light. Nevertheless, if I am elected, I shall offer no factious objections to any measure which may come betore the Council, but I will in all cases give a warm support to questions calculated to advance the interests of the Province, and a staunch opposition to everything likely to have a contrary effect. I have the honor to remain, Brother electors, Yours obediently, EDWAPtD BULL. Wellington, April, 15, 1865. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, HAVING served as one of the members of your Town Board from its commencement, my experience has shown me that many reforms and improvements are wanted in this city, and as these can only be done by net of your Provincial Council, I beg leare to offer myself as one of your representatives, to help to carry out the same. If you do me the honour to elect me, I will do my best to serve you faithfully. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servan.t, JOHN PLIMMER. April 14, 1865.

TO 'I'HE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. GENTLEMEN, IT is my intention to offer myself as a Candidate for the City aI. the ensuing Elections for the Provincial Council. My own personal interests are closely conuected with the welfare of this Province, and afford a better guarantee that I shall endeavour to promote the prosperity of Wellington to the best of ;my ability than any mere proraise I might make to you. I regard the interests of those living in the town and country as identical, because the more business we can bring to the town the better it will be for the country, and the more prosperous we can make the country the better it will be for the town. I shall, therefore, support whatever will in my judgment tend to promote their mutual welfare. I am by no means satisfied with things as they are ; but I will not oppose a good measure simply because it is proposed by the Government ; nor will I support a bad measure from any quarter. There are many matters requiring improvement, and 1 will help any who try to improve them. I beg to assure you, in a few words, that I will endeavour to take a plain common sense view of the measures that may be brought under the attention of the Councii. Believing that if elected, you will have no eaune to regret your choice. I am gentlemen, Yours respectfully, JOHN MARTIN. Wellington, April 15, 1865. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, THE announcement having been publicly made that you will in a few days be called upon to elect your City Members for the Provincial Council, I beg again to offer to my brother electors and fellow colonists my sprvices as one of the Representatives for the City. Phonld you do me the houpur of again returning me I shall continue to represent the iuterest3 of the City and of the Province generally, and not of any particular class. I need only refer to the Acts and proceedings of the Provincial Council to prove that I have endeavored to carry out necessary reforms, not only in the management of the public lands, but in the privileges which I conceive we are entitled to as citizens. On every occasion I have supported, and shall continue to support, every measure calculated to make our City worthy of the Metropolitan position with which nature has endowed it. I need scarcely say that the sanitary condition of our city has occupied my attention for several sessions, and that the present imperfect Town Board Act was introduced as an amendment to a more extended measure, which I yet hope to see cartied— conferring upon the City extensive municipal privileges —not a mere taxing power, which is the principal feature in the present Act. My services as one of your representatives will always be at your command. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, I J. H. WALLACE. April 13, 1865. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, I BEG to offer myself as a candidate to represent Wellington in the forthcoming session of the Provincial Council. It may be said that I am not known, and that my political opinions are not yet formed. This is to a certain extent true, inasmuch as I freely admit that this is my first attempt to mix myself up with politics, but so firmly am I convinced that a change is absolutely necessary in the administration of the affairs of
