To Thomas S. Forsaith, Esq.

Sir, — On behalf of he Members of your Committee, I am requesved to say, that having had under our consideration a requisition presented to you from the Electors of the Northern Division, we strongly recommend you to accept the invitation. Our single object was to see a man whom we deemed so fit, occupying a seat in the Council, and as this object can, appaiently, be gained without prolonging a contest in the city of Auckland, we think it a pieferable course. At the same time, if you prefer a seat for the city, we have every prospect of success, and will not relax our exertions to ensure your return I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Arch. Clark, Chairman of Committee. Auckland, July 8.

To Archibald Clark, Esq , Mayor.

Sir, — Having full confidence in the judgment of ihe Gentlemen whom you represent, I beg leave to adopt their recommendation, and at the same time to tender my best thanks to yourself, my Committee, and my other friends for the energetic and efficient manner in which they have supported me. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, Thomas S, Forsaith. Queen-street, July Bth, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION.

f^i ENTLEMEN,— Having submitted your vJT request to. the Committee who were undertaking my election for the City, I have, by their advice, decided upon accepting the invitation with which you have honoured me. In doing so, I have been partly influenced by the consideration that most of my time in New Zealand has been spent in the Northern Division, and that I have still large interests at stake in that district, and also by the fact that many of the gentlemen signing the City requisition, are equally interested with you in ray return, as electors of your Division. Gentlemen, in offering myself as a candidate to represent you in the forthcoming Provincial Council, I can only repeat what I have already said—that if elected I shall go into the Council with but one object — to repay your confidence by doing my duty independently and conscientiously. I disclaim all party feelings and prejudices, and will to the best of my ability, promote the interests of the Province generally, by supporting every measure calculated to advance the commercial, agricultural, social, and moral welfare of the community. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Thomas S. Forsaith. Queen-street. July Bth, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION.

/^ ENTLEMEN,— In reply to numerous VJT solicitations from respectable voters, I beg to intimate my intention of offering my-

self as a Candidate at the ensuing election. Having full confidence in the judgment of my fellow constituents, that they will return none but proper men to represent them in Council, I do not consider it necessary to canvass for votes, resting satisfied if I am not returned, a more efficient person will be selected. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Joseph Newman. Remuera, 7th July, 1852,
