TO LIEUT.-COLONEL WYNYARD, C. 8., ETC., ETC., ETC., L'lß,—Wo, the undersigned Electors of l 3 the Province of Auckland—being deeply impressed with a conviction that the,realization of the benefits which the New Constitution Act proposes to confer, must, in a large measure, depend, so far as Provincial affairs are concerned, on the election of a Superintendent in whom thepeoplegenerally can repose confidence—are especially anxious that, at this critical juncture, a candidate should be before the constituency in whose behalf the sympathies of men of all classes, and all political views might be united. Such a candidate, we are satisfied, may be found in yourself, Sir,—and we scarcely hesitate to add, in yourself preeminently. Your long residence in this district, your constantly manifested interest in its prosperity, and your extended and wellearned popularity, would of themselves have been sufficient to"indicate your great fitness for the office; but when to these considerations we add the very acceptable and harmonizing manner in, winch you have performed the duties of the Lieutenant-Gover-norship of New Ulster during the last two years, we find in you a combination of qualifications such as certainly are not united in any other person, and such as we arc sure would command all but universal support. We therefore, Sir, respectfully and earnestly request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination for the office of Superintendent of the Province of Auckland. John Salmon (Here follow 503 other Signatures.) TO CAPTAIN SALMON AND THE OTHER REQUISIONISTS. Gentlemen, —I have had the honour to receive your very flattering invitation to allow myself to be put in nomination for the office of Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, and I have to thank you for the manner in which you have testified your approval of my administration of the affairs of the Province of New Ulster, during the period for which I had the honour to hold the office of Lieut.-Governor. I have not been insensible, Gentlemen, of the importance to the Province of securing, if possible, for the administration of its affairs, a candidate in whose behalf the sympathies of men of all classes and all political views may be united; neither have I been disposed lightly to esteem the honour which will be conferred upon him who may be the subject of their choice. Still I have felt myself compelled by various considerations more than once to decline to allow myself to be put in nomination ; seeing, however, that upwards of five hundred of the inhabitants of the Province, comprising men of various classes, and various political views, have united in recording their conviction that 1 possess a combination of qualifications for the newly created office, calculated to command all but universal support, I can no longer refuse to undertake its duties, should the suffrages of the Electors be given in my favour. I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, R. H. Wynyard. ! Auckland, t9lh April, 1835. ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT. Colonel Wynyard’s Central Committee. A NY Communications from Colonel WynL yard’s supporters, are requested to be forwarded to the Chairman, the Secretary, or any Member of the Committee. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. /^.ENTLEMEN, —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, I 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, 1 deem it unnecessary to advert to them further than to remark that they offei the best guarantee for mv future efforts. J 1 need scarcely say, that the altered circumstances, may, and, no doubt will, demam a very different course of action for the future; but I may assure you, that should 1 be honoured with your suffrages, the same unwearied exertions, singleness and sincerity of purpose, shall bo devoted to the promotion of the general welfare and to the advancement and prosperity of our adopted country. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant. William Brown. April 1 1 th, 1855.
