To Thomas S. Forsaith, Esq.

Sir, — On behalf of he Members of your Committee, I am requeued 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 imitation. Our single object was to see a man whom we deemed so fit, occupying a seat in the Council, and as this object can, apparently, be gained without prolonging a contest in the city of Auckland, we think it a preferable course. At the same time, il you prefer a seat for the city, we have every prospect of-success, and will not relax our exertions to ensure )our 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 the 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 eneigetic 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 Blh, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION.

/y ENTLEMEN,— Having submitted your vT request to the Committee who were undertaking my election for the City, I have, by their advice, decided upon accepting the inviation 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 my 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 asd 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 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.
