To the Electors of the Country Districts, /'N ENTLEMEN, —As you will presently be VJT called upon to exercise your priv'leges as independent voters in the election of another member for the Provincial Council of this Province, I beg to present myself as a candidate for that responsible position,—a position the duties of which, in the present aspect of affairs in this Province, are by no means light, or to be lightly viewed or lightly treated. Therefore, gentlemen, should you elect me, your interests will bo my interests, and the views which you take upon public matters wh 1 bo identical with my own; for remember tl”s great fact—that as I am like the majority of you, a sma’l holder, it w :l l bo my pride, interest, and delight to stand up for and defend and protect your rights and claims as an important section of this community against all comers, and against all lukewarm friends and determined enemies. Let no man object to mo on the score of being a holder of Government office. I admit a subordination to the powers that be, but I most emphatically repudiate any fear of that subordination interfering with my rights at a citizen. lam prepared, if you elect me, to make any personal sacrifice, if need be, to vindicate my independence and to stick up for your rights. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, O. L. W, BOUSFIELD. 2 tlh October, 1801. To the Settlers in and around Napier. FRIENDS, —Owing to the extreme bad weather, the Public Meeting advertised to take place at Mr. Hcslop’s Farm, Puketapu, on Tuesday the 22nd instant, was of necessity unattended, but let not this damp the laudable desire to express our opinion upon the critical pass at which we have unhappily arrived, with respect to our relations with the Natives; nor let it in any way prevent our meeting together on Tuesday next at the same place and hour. It has now become of the utmost vital importance to the welfare of the settlers in, nay! even to the very existence of this Province, that we use our right as free citizens, and meet for the purpose of determining the best means of averting the perils of a collision with the Natives, which now hang ominously and gloom‘ 1 s over our devoted heads. We are at a threatening juncture, and if we show the opportunity of expressing our alarm and our determination to put a stop to the recurrence of the late lawless proceedings of the Maories, it w? 1 ! but be a most just and retributive punishment, if those ungovernable savages drive us from our homes, the scene of our first struggles and privations, of our present hopes and fears, and our future prospects of peace and plenty, and oblige us to seek in another land, free at least from the blighting influence of aborigines and their white teachers, that happy, successful termination of our.labors and] exertions by and through them, denipef us here. W e must at once raise our voice against the present state of things, and if need bo raise our arms also. Which latter course would be the wisest. For much talk never saved a drowning man.
