J&igceilaneous* TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWN OP NELSON. Gentlemen — The Committee to further the election of Mr. Domett wish to take an early opportunity of making known the .reasons which in then* opinion recommend that gentleman to the confidence of the constituency. In the first place, he is a man of known and proved ability — of ability, it is believed, unsurpassed in the colony. In the second place, he ia a man experienced in the conduct of office, having filled for several years the offices of Colonial Secretary and Civil Secretary, with the greatest credit to himself, and to the entire satisfaction fo his official superiors. In the third place, because he is a man of expanded J and liberal views on all political subjects, an ardent I friend of civil and religious liberty, an uncompromising opponent of everything that is not manly and straightforward. I In the fourth place, because it is believed that if the [ choice of the Legislature should indicate him as one of the Responsible Ministers, he will be prepared to give his services to the conduct of the Executive business of the colony. Now, the Committee wish to call the attention of the electors to the bearing of this circumstance' upon the interests of the province. We all know what has happened within the last year — that the Land Revenues of the Middle Island have been taken to purchase land from the natives in the North Island. The Constitution Act allows the Governor to do this to any extent he thinks proper. But the operation of Government will be this : that the Governor will be guided by the advice of his responsible advisers. Those advisers, therefore, or in other words, the Executive Officers of the Government, will be in this matter the Governor, and will possess the power of applying any amount they may think proper of the Land Revenue of Nelson, Canterbury, and Otago to purchase land from the natives in Wellington and Auckland. What, then, gentlemen, will be the result, if the members of the Government are representatives of constituencies of the North Island? Alas, then, for Nelkon ! No land fund for public works: roads falling, into disrepair: no fresh ones made : no emigration : no progress : the money wrung from our industry and paid for land bought hy our own industrious settlers, taken away to purchase land for others in a different island. But supposing one of our Nelson members to be an Executive Officer, and to have a considerable share in the ordering of these matters, is it likely that we shall be robbed in this way ? Of course not, Gentlemen. Our interests will then be consulted at the very fountain-head of authority, and justice will be done. To any man of the most ordinary reflection, who has observed the current of events, it must be obvious that the great object of the constituencies of New Zealand is to send to the next Parliament men of ability, and men who, if called upon to act as Ministers, will be able to accept office, and to do good service to their Provinces. This Committee sincerely believes that such a man is to he found in Mr. Domett. His ability is universally acknowledged ; and, having devoted his talents principally to the service of Government, there appears to be no obstacle to his accepting any office that the suffrages of his fellow-colonists, and the summons of the Governor, might call upon him to accept. Is it not then, Gentlemen, of importance to have such a man to plead for us ; a man not only/6f great weight in the Legislature, but fully qualifipu to bear lu'gh office in the Executive. But some jrersons may say, he is not a Nelson settler. Those^ho say so do not know Mr. Domett. Let them at& the old settlers, who know him, or let them as/ any one to point to an occasion when he did not/ielp us if he could. This Committee, therefore, confidently recommend him. In the fifth place, be/ause he is in every sense of the word a Nelson settler, a man whose sympathies aro with this settlement, and who, if he were a rich man, would return to-morrow and live among us. Gentlemen, the next Legislature will have the destinies of New ZenlanQ in its hands in no ordinary degree ; and we shall have ourselves to blame if, at so important a crisis, we elect men of small ability and deficient judgment, and above all, if we do not give ourselves the benefit of an excellent chanco of being represented in the Executive Councils o f he colony. If we accomplish this, we shall be all l-^nt ; if we fail in it, we shall he all wrong. By order of the Committee, D. Monko, Chairman. X "SPRA^," 23 useful MARES, many of which areSm foal. \^ C.
