SIB,,— We the undersigned Voters in the Northern Division respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination as a Candidate for a seat in the forthcoming Provincial Council.

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 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, apparently, be gained without prolonging a contest in the city of Auckland, we think it a preferable 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 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 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.

r\ ENTLEMEN,— Having submitted your vT 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 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 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 MR. WILLIAM BUCKLAND.

SIR, — We the undersigned, feeling every confidence in your general principles, beg leave to request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination for a Seat in the next Legislative Assembly, to represent the District of the Southern Division, and we pledge ourselves to use our utmost ability to secure your return.
