John Watson, Returning Officer. Akaroa, 2_tn October, 1855. To the Electors of the Christchurch Country District. G KNTLF.MI'jr.— The Dissolution of the first General Assembly of New Zealand will soon render it necessary for you to choose two representative, for a New Assembly from among the candidates for th«i honor, as one of whom I now venture to present myself. I know that the duties of your Representative will be arduous, though plain ; and, under the piesent circumsiauces of the colony, must require the devotion of much time and trouble for their proper fulfiln.cut. I ih-rs-foie c.-me forwaid, trusting that you will find in me the activity and straightforward firmness so necessary in the office to which I aspire. As to my political views, I can only say here, generally, that that line of policy which was adopted by the majority of the late Assembly, in all its sessions, seems to me th.it which must, at this time of radical change in the Government , of the Colony, procure the greatest benefits to the Public Sen ice; and which should, therefore, receive the support of your representatives. The views which I take of other important questions I hope to be able to explain to your satisfaction, when I solicit your suffrages in person. I am, (-enil"men, Your humble and obedient servant, Crosbib Ward. N-.thbrook, Rangiora, Oct. 15, 1855.
