TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIV1&I0N.

/^ ENTLEMEN,— Having submitted your VJT request to the Committee who were undertaking my election for the City, I have, by heir 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 thai I have still large interests at stake in that district, and also by the fact that many of the gentlemen signing the City requisition, aie equally interested with you in my leturn, as electors of your Division. Gentlemen, in offering myself as a candidate to repjesent 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 ana 1 conscientiously. I disclaim all party feelings and prejudices, and will to the best of my ability, promote the interests of ! the Piovince generally, by supporting every measui-e calculated to advance the commeicial, agricultural, social, aud 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 NORTHERN DIVISION.

f^i ENTLEMEN,— My absence in the hush vJT has prevented me sooner announcing my compliance with the wishes of not a few of my friends to offer myself as a Candidate for the representation of the Northern Division at the forthcoming Provincial Council ; and although my opponents have the advantage of a considerable start of me in the field, yet I hope by your general support soon to overtake them and beat them easily. I am one of the very earliest settlers in this locality, June last making the time ten years'? and having therefore been so long leading a country life and pursuing the avocations of an agricultuiist in all its departments, I have natuially become practically acquainted with the hardships and difficulties with which the country settlers have to contend, and which are so detrimental to their interests and wel- , fare. I thus publicly offer my sincere thanks to \ my friends who have come forward and offered i me their vote and support, and I respectfully solicit the votes and support of those who have not yet pledged themselves. I feel a pude in responding to the invitations of my friends, and should the honour which they wish to be conferred on me, be «.'iven on the day of election, I shall assume the onerous and responsible duties of the office with a desire to act in the best possible manner for the interests of our adopted country. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Thomas Paton. Edenhill, Epsom, July 10th, 1852.
