TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY. |^1 ENTLEMEN. The dissolution of \JH the Provincial Council will shortly occasion a vacancy iv the office of Superintendent of this province. Mr. Fitz Gerald has declared that it is not his intention to present himself for re-election. Under these circumstances, I. have, after mature consideration, determined to offer myself as a candidate for the forthcoming election. From, every gentleman seeking so high an office you will doubtless expect to hear an outline of his political opinions. I will claim your indulgence while I endeavour, very briefly, to state my views respecting such matters as are most prominently interesting to tlie public of this province.

I am among- the number of those who
