TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PENSIONER SETTLEMENTS, WHO SIGNED THE ABOVE REQUISITION. Gentlemen —l have received your Requisition, and comply with your request. I should feel it an honour to represent the Pensioners in the General Assembly; but I care nothing for a seat, unless you, as a body, are anxious for me to have one. On many occasions I have slated my opinion that I do not consider an Officer on full pay the most filling candidate for civilian honors; and should an equally numerous Requisition as that you have favoured me with, at anytime desire me to retire and give place to a civilian Candidate, I shall be equally then pleased to withdraw, as I now am to come forward. It is not that Ido not value your interests, your voles, or your good opinion, but that I doubt my own ability and qualifications to serve you in Council. 1 believe that most of you in Howick, in Panmure, and in Olahuhu, would vote for me, because I trust you have confidence in my good feeling towards you, and in the honesty of my intentions, during the period we have served together. Rut honesty and good feeling are not the only qualifications you will require in your Representative ; nor are they, perhaps, the only pledges you will ask—that he understands and will do his duty. Unfortunately they are the only pledges I can give; lor, beyond general information as to the political feelings and progress of these Islands since our arrival, 1 know but little, and I know less of the history of the Colony in its earlier years. Without some study and enquiry, I would not pledge myself to any part in the struggle likely to take place between the North and South ; but, if you do return me as your Jiepresentalivo, I will pledge myself to consider every question to the best of my abilities, and to give my vole on all occasions without fear or favour, for what I consider—the Right. Under any circumstances, I shall always remain your sincere well-wisher and obedient servant, J. Bacot. TO W. F. PORTER, Esq. SIR —We arc convinced that from your long residence in this Province, and your general knowledge of its affairs and requirements, you are well fitted to represent our interests in the General Assembly; and from the position which jou held on the poll for the Provincial Council, we arc assured that yon enjoy the confidence of IheConstiluency. We, therefore, trust, that yon will allow yourself to be nominated as one of iho Representatives for the Suburbs of Auckland in the House of Representatives for the Islands of New Zealand. William Tidmarsh, Thomas Crummer, James Robertson, IE Niccol, James Rnrlt, Henry Matson, Neill Malcolm, Thos. Johnson, W. Hughes, John Watson Bain, John Symes, Thomas Waters, J. A. Gilfillan, William Miller J A. Smith, Edward Bull. Auckland, July 22, 1855. Gentlemen,— I have received your requisition to become a Candidate to represent you in the General Assembly. And believing that the interests of the Province will be best served by fho person who represents you in the Provincial Council being also in the House of Representatives, 1 most cordially accept invitation. I am Gentleman, Your very obedient, humble servant, W. F. Porter. To Henry Matson, Esq, and those Gentlemen who signed the requisition.
