To the Electors of the Town of Lyttelton. Gentlemen, AT the request of many Electors of the town ol Lyttelton, I.offer myself as "one of tbe Candidates for the Provincial Council. If you return me as one of your Representatives, I shall at all times study the public good. Whatever may be the Government it shall have my support, if, in my opinion, its measures appear calculated to promoe tbe public good ; if they do not appear to me to be so framed, I shall oppose them; and the best guarantee of the correctness of the conclusions I may arrive at is deduced from a thirteen years' experience on this island. Being on the point of retiring from business, except the cultivation of the soil, I will devote as much of my time to the public good as my position as a working settler will allow me. lam convinced the working settlers' interest is deficient in the Council; in proof of which I refer to the £ 10,000 grant from the public purse, and by so doing creating an unavoidable provision of tbe same amount for the next six years, and, if completed, no economical advantage will be gained over the present natural advantages made i\se of. In reference to the Land question, it .should be made as easy of acquirement as possible, compatible with the useful occupation of the same. That the subject of Education and Religion ought to be provided for according to their respective numbers. I take this opportunity of informing you, that I shall not resort to the annoying practice of teasing the voters to abstract promises and pledges of support, leaving all persons to give their vote according to conscience ; and I shall be most thankful to all those who thus voluntarily give me their vote. Voting papers may be obtained where the Blue Shirt Banner is unfurled, if a poll be demanded. Yours, &c. C. Crawford. Provincial Secretary's Office, Christchurch, 20th December, 1854.
