To Edwabd Feabon, Esq., and the other Gentlemen signing the above requisition. Gentlemen — In reply to tho above highly respectable and numerously signed requisition, allow me most sincerely to thank you, and to express the gratification I feel at such a proof of your confi. dence towards mo. In complying with the request tLat "I should be nominated as your representative for the General Assembly," I do so with diffidence, and a full conviction of the responsibilities devolving upon me, should I become your representative. Whilst comparatively a stranger amongst you, I feel you have a right to expect some exposition oi my sentiments on the various subjects about to be discussed, so nearly affecting the interests and wellbeing of New Zealand at the present important epocl: of her history. Such explanation I shall be happy tc afford on the day of nomination ; at the same time ] am glad to bo able to say, that on many iruportanl points my opinions agree with those held by your latf talented and respected representative, Mr. Picard, especially on the subject of the " Native Lands Ques' tion," whose bill (as far as I now understand it) I am prepared to support, and even to bring forward at " his bill," should the opportunity be given me foi doing so. In conclusion, I beg to state that, if elected, I will serve you faithfully, and that no exertions on my pad shall be spared which, in my opinion, may conduce tc the prosperity of New Zealand as a Christian colony ; whilst the local interests of our own rapidly-increasing district of Motueka shall ever command my especial care and attention. * Again thanking you fo^the honour conferred upon me, I beg to subscribo^ta^'^tmiSTffiJDT-wih^^rv feelir^^-rc^ect, / / Your obedient servant, E. D. Salisbuby.

The zeal with which you fulfilled your duties at tli previous sessions of the house, and which actuate you in proceeding to Auckland to attend its last sit ting, when other members of the house, for this an the neighbouring settlements, failed in that attentio to the interests of their constituents ; and the satis factory and straightforward replies and explanation which you gave to tho numerous questions put to yo' by different electors, at the meeting you attended las evening, make you, in our opinion, especially deservin of the continued confidence and support of th electors.
