nnO THE ELECTORS OF THIS GREY X DISTRICT OF THE NELSON SOITH-WJEST GOLD FIELDS. Gkxtlemex, — lii * complying with the requisition which has been forwarded to me, and announcing myself as a candidate for your suffrages to represent you in the Provincial Council, I deem it expedient, through the medium of the public press, to acquaint you with my views upon what I conceive to be the most pressing and political questions at present affecting the general progress and wellbeing of the Nelson South-west Gold Fields, and which iv my opinion demand some prompt legislative or other action. It is greatly to be regretted that atcthis important juncture the great bulk (some nineteeutwentieths) of the population, now collected at .Brighton and Charleston, should, owing to the capricious operation of an Electoral Act, find themselves virtually, if not absoland that of necessity for some .time > t8 Ci 4!Qmp they must remain practically unrcpresontecWUvvthe Councils of the country. This fact would s'eTJAH.ioargue tho greater necessity which exists for "fcfecputting forth of some combined and -strenuous effort on the part of the people during the the interim of the meeting of the Provincial Council, as also during its session, in order that we may obtain for the South-west Gold Fields a re-distribution of the electoral district, and such an enlargement of the representation as our altered circumstances render indispensable. v I may here state that I am in favor of a prompt revision of the existing Mining Regulations, the establishment of a District Court within and for the district, a re-distjri-bution of the electoral district, an increased and adequate representation in the General as well as the Provincial Legislature, extended telegraphic communication ancl a reform of the local postal arrangements, of an amended Publicans Licensing Ordinance, the establishment of ports of entry, and the construction of suitable wharves for the great centres of population.— viz., Brighton and Charleston — of grants for educational, municipal, and literary purposes ; the expenditure within the district generally of the revenues dciived therefrom; the encouragement of private enterprise in the construction of tramways, ancl the development of the mineral resources of the -country. Upon the provincial railway scheme my views are not fully matured ; I shall be prepared, however, to give this important matter every deliberative consideration whenever the proper time arrives. I am quite aware that a few of the topics touched upon cannot be said to be such as are within the scope of Provincial Legislation; at the same time it will be admitted that, the General Government and the Colonial Legislatnre may by the aptitude of your representatives be effectually reached through the Provincial Legislature ; and I have only to remark that, if I have the honor to be chosen one of your representatives, my best skill and assiduity will be applied to effect those political changes which I regard as necessary, and what is of paramount importance to secure for the Nelson Gold Fields that fair and equitable representation iv the Provincial Legislature as well as the Colonial Parliament, which the wealth and population of the district render imperative. It is my intention, however, before the day of election, to invite you to meet me, when I hope to have an opportunity of more fully expressing my views upon the various requirements of the district. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours obediently, GEORGE DONNE. Brighton, April 5, 18G7.

Good Stock always on hand. A branch of this establishment is now open at Canoe Creek. T IEBIG'S EXTRACT OF MEAT XJ prepared in the establishment of Mr Robert Tooth,, of New South Wales and Queensland, now so highly spoken of in Europe ;.as supplying a food at once light, supporting, agreeable to the taste, suitable equally -to thestrong and. feeble, ancl withal reasonably economical. To Diggers ancl others engaged in remote districts, this is an incalculable blessing, as by the simple addition of half a pint of hot water, and .a little salt in seasoning to half a table-spoonful of the extract; a good "wholesome bowl of soup is thus made at five minutes' notice and without trouble, will make it welcome in the tent of any' nlau. Our German brethren are reminded that this is the introduction of their distinguished countryman, Baron Ltebig, who attaches the greatest importance to 'the preparation,' and considers it supplies a place ■'. in the articles of diet that.no other food can afford.
