TO T. H. BARTLEY, ESQ. CUR,—The boundaries of the several ProO vinces 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 ol 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 duliesoflhe 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.

Watt, John Williamson. Auckland, April 5, 1853. Tuesday Evening, April 5, 1853. Gentlemen, —Although aware previously that my name had been mentioned in connection with the office of Superintendent for the Province of Auckland, yet the requisition with which you have honoured me, has come upon me somewhat suddenly. Unity is indeed at all times 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 state that should the Electors generally think as favourably of me as yourselves, no effort shall bo wanting on my part to promote the interests of the Province. I remain, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, Tnos. 11. Bartley. To Major Matson, and the Gentlemen signing the Requisition. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. GENTLEMEN, —Lest silence should be misinterpreted into disrespect, which is remote indeed from my feelings, I am induced briefly to address you. Although not wholly unobservant "Tr passing occurrences, I do not prufbss mat I have eminently devoted my attention to politics, or that 1 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, 1 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 voles, 1 shall highly appreciate such a proof of confidence. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, Tnos. 11. Bartley. Auckland, 12lh April, 1853. ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT. MR.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. GENTLEMEN, —It was not my intention to have solicited, thus early, your suffrages for the office of Superintendent of this Province under the new Constitution ; but, as a Candidate has already come forward, 1 am induced now to offer my services for that very arduous and important trust. As my views and exertions during so many years, for the advancement of this Province, have been so fully and so frequently before you, I deem it unnecessary to advert to them further than to remark that they offer the best guarantee for my future efforts. I need scarcely say, that the altered circumstances, may, and, no doubt will, demand a very different course of action for the future; but I may assure you, that should I be honoured with your suffrages, the same unwearied exertions, singleness and sincerity of purpose, shall be devoted to the promotion of the general welfare and to the advancement and prosperity of our adopted country. I have the honour to bo, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant. William Rrown. April Hth, 1853. NOTICE.
