TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF NELSON. GENTLEMEN,— The Governor's writ having been issued i'or the election of a SUPERINTEND ENT of this Province, I beg to solicit a renewal oi the confidence you have already placed in me. It. is extremply gratifying, to me that the important project to which I promised at my election to devote my most earnest attention, ha^ met with a highly favorable reception at the hands of a body of gentlemen of rank, influence, and capital, in London, and I firmly trust tbat the negotiations now in progress will result in the speedy commencement of* a line of railway from kelson to Cobden and West; ort. Nothing, in my opinion, could so effectually secure the permanent prosperity of all parts of the Province as the execution of this great work, and no efforts on my part will be wanting to secure it. Of the other public works which I then specified, I have been enabled to complete the Nelson Waterworks, and the bridges over the Waimea and Hurunui Rivers. The remaining one, namely, the Nelson Dry Dock, is still in abevance. I induced the Provincial Council to vote a sum of money toward-* its construction, but the gr^at decline iu the revenue that year compelled me to abandon the project. Hut the assent of the Governor bavins? a few weeks since been given to an amended Guarantee Act, I have advertised both in this colony and in Australia for tenders under its provisions, which I hope will produce a practical result. A very large expenditure in public works and otherwise has taken place during my short term of office upon the South West Gold-fields, at one time far in exc?ss of the revenue derived from the district, and from first to last the expenditure within it has fully equalled the net revenue, both direct and indirect. Statements of an opposite character have, however, been industriously circulated, and a petition for separation has been presented to the General Assembly. I shall, if re- elected, take care tbat full justice shall be done to that district in the future, as it has been done in the past, but no amount of pressure will induce me to sacrifice the interests of the province as a whole to that or any otlier district, and I shall also strenuously or pose all attempts to dismember the province, which would I am convinced, be disastrous io all parts of it, and more especially to the Souih-West Gold-fields themselves. Tbe large reductions, amounting to nearly £12,000 per annum, Avhich I made during the past year in the departmental expenditure of the Province, will, "I think, have convinced you that although I have made no professions about economy, I have neither been slow nor sparing in action. . . The depression which has for some time exisred in all parts of the colony, although I believe r^ore severelv felt in most of the other Provinces than in Nelson, will, I trust, soon pass" away, and be succeeded by prosperity of a more lasting and wholesome character than that which preceded it. The manufacture and cultivation of native flax are now deservedly attracting much attention in this light, and I am doine all in my power, by introducing tbe best class of machinery and. otherwise, to promote so desirable an accet-sion to our small list of local manufactures, as ' am most anxious to promote everything which leads to the employment of labor and the permanent settlement of the country. I defer the consideration of many other topics till I meet you persona'ly. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, OSWALD CURTIS. Nelson, Sept. 28, 1569. 2069 ART LOTTERY.
