TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. f^ ENTLEMEN,—Though I have reVX ceived no requisition, I have yet been solicited by many of the electors to come forward as a candidate for the representation of the City in the next Provincial Council. After mature deliberation I have resolved to comply with this request, and have now the honour to announce myself as. a candidate accordingly. Should you elect me I pledge myself to do my utmost for the general prosperity of the Province, I and of Christchurch in particular. I am the [ representative of no class; my own individual j interests, (which are what men generally look i to,) being bound up, and identified with those of every class in the community. My general policy is easily laid down : —it is to vote for any i and every measure which shall lead to the j promotion of the " greatest possible happiness to the greatest possible number." I believe that ; this will be effected'ultimately by what is called i the " Centralising "system ofGovermnt>nt;but I shall not countenance any rash attempt to introduce that system before its proper time, believing that the approaches to it must be cautious and progressive. I shall endeavour to Bee that the expenses of Government are regulated with the utmost economy consistent with efficiency; and, above all, I shall keep a keen and jealous eye on what must be considered the mainstay, of the prosperity of this Province, viz., its waste lands;,and shall guard against any attempt, from whatever quarter it may emanate, to job away or fritter down that source of our wealth. As one of the oldest residents in Christchurch, deeply interested in its welfare, and thoroughly conversant with its wants, I neud scarcely say that I shall pay the strictest attention to every thing affectingyour local interests. I need only add further that, should I have the honour to be elected, I shall at all times be ready to account to my constituents for my conduct as their representative^ lam, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, M. B. HART. NOTICE.
