TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, IN the choice you have recently made of Dr. Featherston 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 elect twelve members to represent you in the Provincial Council, and I need hardly point out to you the importance of the »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 i if, on the other hand, a Council is elected, composed of membprs who on general questions entertain the samo- opinions as the Superintendent, you will have the two working together in harmony, agreed upon main questions, but acting as a check upon each other in the manner so evidently intended by the Constitution Act. On a previous occasion yeu did me the honour of electing me as one of your representatives, and I now seek a renewal of the trust. If elected, I shall, without giving a blind adherence to any, be found as heretofore, a consistent supporter of the party with which 1 have so long cooperated in working out the policy needful for the development and good government of this important Province ; a policy which, by the election of Dr. Featherston as Superintendent, you have already stamped with your approval. 1 am, gentlemen Your obedient servant, W. WARING TAYLOR.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. Qrntlemen, I HAVE been asked by some of you to offer myself as a candidate for 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 part, and I hesitate to express the opinions I hold 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 I 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 servant, EDWARD PEARCE. Wellington, April 15, 1865.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THB CITT OF WELLINGTON. Gentlemen, I BEG to offer myself as a candidate for a seat in the next Provincial Council. The most of you are aware of the part I have taken in politics during the time I have had the honour of representing you, and it only remains for me to say, that, if you arc 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 aad welfare of the province and this city. I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, GBORGE CRAWFORD. TO THE 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 Inst 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 OF WELLINGTON. Brother Electors, I HAVE 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 which 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 proposition 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. I am entirely in favour of the establishment of roads throughout the country, and the setting apart ef blocks of agricultural land
