Gi ENTLEMEN,—Having been proposed * as one of your Members in the ensuing Provincial Council, at a Public Meeting called at Otahuhu for the purpose of naming Candidates, 1 deem it my duly to express my grateful acquiescence in the proposal then made, and beg to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of your suffrages.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PENSIONER SETTLEMENTS. / "< ENTLEMEN,—Having had the honor vX of being named at a meeting held at Onehunga, on Monday, thcLlth inst., as a lit and proper person to be nominated for the Provincial Council, I lake the liberty, through ihc medium of the public Press, of addressing those electors, who, being absent from that meeting, had not the opportunity of hearing my answer to the proposal. Previously to the mention of my name, four gentlemen had been proposed, who appeared to have been separately selected by the different Settlements, and whose election appeared to meet with general approbation. If I may be permitted to advise yon, I would say, elect those gentlemen, and avoid, by an unanimous concurrence, the disadvantages unavoidably attached to attending a difference of opinion; and promote your own interests, by returning more eindent men than myself to perform the important duties which must devolve upon that body. 1 beg, however, to place myself entirely in your hands, and should a majority of you demand my services, it shall bejny constant endeavour to compensate for my deficiencies by an unremitting zeal in your cause, and unwearied attention to the promotion of your interests. 1 have the honor to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Henry Smythies. Onehunga, ISth July,
