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 fitting candidate for civilian honors; and should an equally numerous Requisition as that you have favoured me with, at any lime desire me to retire and give place to a civilian Candidate, I shall be equally then pleased to withdraw, as I now am to conic forward. It is not that Ido not value your interests, your votes, or your good opinion, but that I doubt my own ability and qualifications to serve you in Council. I believe that most of you in Howick, in Panmure, and in Otahuhu, would vote for mo, because I trust you have confidence in my good feeling towards yon, and in the honesty of my intentions, during the period we have served together. But 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 be understands and will do his duly. Unfortunately they arc the only pledges I can give ; for, beyond general information ns 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 Representative, 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 are convinced that from your long residence in this Province, and your general knowledge of its affairs and requirements, you arc well fitted to represent our interests in the General Assembly; and from the position which you held on the poll for the Provincial Council, wc are assured that you enjoy the confidence of the Constituency. We, therefore, trust that you will allow yourself to be nominated as one of the Representatives for the Suburbs of Auckland iu Hie House of Representatives for the Islands of New Zealand.
