' TO THE ELECTORS OF THE AKAROA DISTRICT. jpi ENTLEMEN,—In the regular process \la of time, by the lapse of its legal term of duration, the first Provincial Council of Canterbury has ceased to exist; and the time has arrived when you have again the :power of choosing representatives. At the, first election, novy four years ago, you returned two members to the Council. Eighteen months afterwards two other members were added to the representatives of your district, and I had the honor to be selected by you as one. At that time,, however, the number of electors in the district, according to the ■registration returns, demanded only two representatives; and that was the allotted number by an ordinance of the Council then passed. Since that time the representation of , the province has been remodelled, and the population^ of Banks's Peninsula has been found to \ have increased in a larger proportion than that of other districts; consequently, three i representatives have been allotted to Akaroa. I I now address you to solicit the honor: of ;being chosen by you as one of your members. The election will probably not take place ■till early in November next, but I do not hesitate?to present myself thus early before you; for I am aware that in your district the present difficulties of communication and -some other causes render it a matter of great •convenience to you to know some time beforehand who are to be candidates for your suffrages; and, further, because I am-anxious that no laxity on my part should be construed into forgetfulness of the honor you conferred on me two years and a-half ago, when I was almost unknown .among you. I shall not attempt to recapitulate here the occasions upon which. I have joined with your other representatives to guard the interests of Banks's Peninsula in the Provincial Council; nor will I found any claim to your ■votes upon my general conduct as a member <of that body during five sessions; for I know that past services cannot confer upon an individual a right, to honours which are left freely at your disposal j' but I may appeal to the knowledge which you have of my actions during *hat time to determine whether I am a fit and proper person to be entrusted with the duties of the office which I seek at your hands. I cannot but consider myself, gentlemen, as being by this time far from a stranger to you; and,therefore, although I hope circumstances will permit you to obtain the services of some one resident among you as your representative in the new Council, I shall not oh that account feel it my duty to withdraw my name from the list of candidates for your suffrages. I have the honor to be Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, CROSBIE WARD. Xyttdton, Aug. 27,1857.
