(ADVERTISEMENT.)

«» To the Free and Independent Electors of the City of Wellington. f^ ENTLEMEN— You may expect that your privileges as Electors will at length be confirmed, to you by the issue of Writs, and the nomination of Candidates soliciting your suffrages for the choice of Members to sit in the forthcoming Legislature. As a Candidate for a seat in the Provincial Council of Wellington,- 1 hereby offer eayself ; — impressed with the convicti6n,-7-should you return me by a majority of your votes, — that a conscientious duty would impel me to aid in the enactment of equal laws for all interests, as we'll as to oppose the introduction of such taxation as might bear disproportionately on those whose families are wholly dependent upon their ©wn exertions for the comforts and necessaries of life. Having uniformly been the' advocate of Free Trade, and an enemy to the protection of one ■class of the community at the expense of all others, my aim would constantly be to promote such legislation as would secure to every one the means of acquiring for himself a Freehold,* by honest industry. With this view, I would give enceuragement to the adoption of the lowest possible amount as the minimum upset price for land ; to the principle of small allotments ; to the cheapest process for obtaining a title ; and to the -least expensive mode of transfer. As the products of industry, — both to the grower and consumer, — must generally remain unprofitable in the absence of roads, my attention to the increase of such means of transit would be constant and unremitting. Since it may be deemed requisite that every one presenting himself to your notice as a Candidate, should make some allusion to his political opinions, I may state that -my principles are those of prosperity for all, and no oppression : — that is, the cause of the whole people, and no class legislation. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, JOHN WALLACE. Wellington, June 3,' 1853."
