Asa Candidate^ra.seat in the Provincial Council of Wellington, I hereby offer myself ;' — impressed witlj ; tbe "conviction,— should you return me by, a myority of .your votes, — that^ a ' .conscientious duty, would impel me to aid in 1 4he enactment of equal Jaws for all interests, as 1 well as to oppose^heintroduction of such taxation as might beaf_ disproportionately on those whose families are wholly dependent upon theirown exertions, for t&e -comforts and necessaries -of life. „. , > 7, 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 wonld-conatantly be to promote such legislation as would secure to everyone the means of acquiring for Himself a Freehold, by -honest industry/ With this view, I would giveenceuragement 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 trsnsit would be constant and unremitting. Since it may tie deemed requisite that every one presenting himself to your notice as a Candidate, should make some -allusion to his political opinions^ 1 .may state' that my principles are those of prosperity for all, and no oppression ." — that is, thY cause of the whole people* and -nV class "-legislation; ■ " ' - " I remain, Gentlemen, - _ "< '~ ~ \ Your very obedient servant, "" «r • . v JOttN WALLACE. . - Wellington. .Tun 4 3;-j1g53.. .. i <n ■-.. .' , ». . , : -'- vTo the Electors .of the .City of , ''Wellington. ' TC>ELL6 I W-GOL6NISTSi---I beg to -J? offer myself) as a Candidate for the honor of representing you, under the New Constitution, both in the House of Representatives and in the:Wellingt6n Provincial Council. ~ Having^-resided' amongst you from almost the very foundation ,of the Colony, and -taken, an active part in the discussion of all public questions; my opinions are,, l trust,- so well known as almost to render it unnecessary to repeat them in my present address. But .as a new era has commenced for New Zealand, and as the good government of the country wilU for the future, entirely depend upon the people, themselves, it is perhaps necessary, in order/to prevent- any future misunderstanding between electors and elected, that all those who aspire to the honor, of being presentatives should again place record the opinions they >entertain upon the principal subjects which., are, likely to come before the newly oreated- Legislature. I think we have good reason to. congratulate ourselves ,upon,rhaving obtained a noeasufe of constitutional freedom greatly superior /to .that 1 possessed^ by .any British colony in the South' Seas ; and I conceive that our warmest thanks are due, bqth-^to the Cploriial' Minister who conferred .so great a boon .upon us, and also, to those friends without vjhpse advice and support Sir John Pakmgioh would scarcely^ have undei taken, so sopjj after his accession^ to office, the grave responsibility of framing^ add carrying through P^rjiament a Constitutional Act embodying principles, in advance of those xipntained in any constitution yet granted to tfte -Australian" _ Colonies. ' But, however Tjjbeyjil and satisfactory, in all its mam^etmls,rkhe c Conistitalti9it.Tnay^l)e; the amountof bene^J; to^e derived from it, will in a great measurerjiepend .upon the manner and the spirit in.-whjp.h* it is -worked and carried outl The Act itself cjejuty establishes the system of responsible government. Should therefore any attempt (which t : scarcely anticipate^ be made to conduct -the government, whether General or. Provinqial, byfan irresponsible, Executive, I hold that it will be the duty of your Representatives strenuously to oppose it, and never to rest satisfied until, all the chief Executive offices are filled by men enjoying their confidence and support : for an irresponsible ministry is wholly incompatible with a representative legislature.* One of the best features of the Act is, that it gives us the power to -remedy its defects; and were it not for this power of altering and amending, the Constitution would not perhaps' deserve all the encomiums which have been passed upon it. ... The most material point to be amended is the Constitution-oif the Legislative Council, or Upper- Chamber of the, General Assembly. Under the Act, it is to consist '"entirely 1 of nominees of the Crown, appointed for life. Knowing the feelings of aversion with which nomineeism is regarded throughout the Colony, I pledge myself never to relax in my exertions until this Chamber is made elective. I object "to the veto," still retained by the Colonial Minister, upon all the acts of the General Legislature. ' As long as such a* power is reserved, doubt and uncertainty must necessa-
