SIR, —The boundaries of the several Provinces having been proclaimed, and the Auckland Province thereby duly constituted and defined under the New Constitution, it now devolves upon the constituency to set about the election of a Superintendent. We deem it to be a matter of very great importance to the future well-being of our Province, with regard to its internal interests, as well as its relations for the time being with the General Legislature, that any differences which may have existed among ns under former systems of government should be forgotten in the election of our first Superintendent, so that we may the more heartily and cordially unite to elect one who might be considered the most likely to fulfil the very important duties of the office with integrity, and strict impartiality towards all classes within the Province. We believe that the constituency will find such a one in you, and we therefore respectfully request that you will suffer us to put you in nomination for the office of Superintendent of our Province. 11.

Gentlemen, —Although aware previously that my name had been mentioned in connection with Hie otTicc of Superintendent for the Province of Auckland, yet the requisition with which you have honoured me, lias come upon me somewhat suddenly. Unity is indeed at all limes desirable, —rarely more essential than at the present period. In accepting your invitation to allow myself to be put in nomination for the office of Superintendent, I can only stale that should the Electors generally think as favourably of me as yourselves, no effort shall be wanting on my part to promote the interests of the Province. I remain. Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, Tnos. H. Bartley. To Major Matson, and the Gentlemen signing the Requisition. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. C'l ENTLEMEN, —Lest silence should be J misinterpreted into disrespect, which is remote indeed from my feelings, 1 am induced briefly to address you. Although not wholly unobservant of passing occurrences, I do not profess that I have eminently devoted my attention to politics, or that I have claim upon the electors from past services. Having been requested to allow myself to be put in nomination for the office of Superintendent of your Province, I have acceded to the invitation, and can only offer in return, freedom from connection with party, with a resolution, if elected, to act impartially, and to the best of my judgment for the welfare of the Province. Should you deem these qualities sufficient, and honor me with your votes, I shall highly appreciate such a proof of confidence. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, Tnos. 11.
