TO "WILLIAM BROWN, ESQ.

SIR,— "Wo, the Undersigned, respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a Candidate for a Seat in the Provincial Council of New Ulster, for

the City of Auckland. Your long acquaintance with the Colony, and your untiring efforts in its behalf, induce us to make this request. L. MacLachlan. John Macfarlane. .Richard Ridings. David Nathan. Alex. Kennedy. James T Boylan. W. s. Grahame. James Hennessy. Patrick Dignan. A. Dingvrall. Alex. Marshall. John Finlay. C. A. Harris. Walter Combes. William Harking.

, Gentlemen, At the late hour at which your invitation has readied me, I have little time more than that which is necessary to say that 1 cheerfully respond to your request to become a Candidate for the suffrages of my brother Electors, as one of the Representatives of the City of Auckland, in the approaching 1 Provincial Council for New Ulster. Even did time permit — any lengthened address, on my part, might be accounted superfluous. My opinions on public affairs are pretty generally known. I shall, therefore, rest contented at present, by assuring you, and, through you, the constituency at large, that should I be elected to the honourable, yet onerous, office of a Representative for the City, my best energies shall invariably be directed in furtherance of the best measures for the advancement of the Commercial, Agricultural, and Political prosperity of our adopted country, in which my feelings and my interests are so largely involved. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, Wm. Brown. Auckland, sth July, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OP fHE NORTHERN DIVISION.

f^ ENTLEMEN,— My absence in the bush vX 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 agriculturist in all its departments, I have naturally 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 me their vote and sifpport, and I respectfully solicit the votes and support of those who have not yet pledged themselves. I feel a pride in responding to the invitations of my friends, and should the honour which they wish to be conferred on me, be tiven 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.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION.

f^ ENTLEMEN —At the solicitation of many Electors of your Division, I have much pleasure in again offering myself as a Candidate for your suffrages in the forthcoming Provincial Council. In thanking you for the gratifying promises of such support as cannot fail to secure my return, I beg to assure you of my firm determination to go to the Poll, thereby aflording every Elector the opportunity of expressing his sentiments. j I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, James Farmer. Ellerslie, 9th August, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PEN-

SIONER SETTLEMENTS.

p ENTLEMEN,— I have withdra>vn the ' Address*which I issued at the outset of my career as a Candidate for your suffrages, because there is no longer any necessity for dwelling upon the arguments they contained ; but I wish to take this special opportunity of thanking the numerous Electors who haye tendered me their suffrages snd support, and to assure them that, notwithstanding the appearance of a new opponent, I shall go to the Poll with every prospect of a triumphant victory. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. Mason. Auckland, July 29, 1852. TO THE ELEI TORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION.
