Tq the Free and Independent Electors of the City of Wellington. (^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 foithcoming Legislature. As a Candidate for a seat in the Provincial Council of Wellington, I hereby offer myself; — impressed with the conviction, — 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 well as to oppose the introduction of such taxation as might bear disproportionately on those whose families are wholly dependent upon their own 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 wou'd 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 encsuragement to the adoption of the lowest possible amount as the minimum upset price for land ; to the I 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.

To the Genilemen that signed the Requisition, and the Electors of Wellington.

Gentlemen, — Having received so many assurances of support a 6 a Candidate for the honor of being; one" of your Representatives in the Legislative and Provincial Council, I feel it my duty to place my humble services at your disposa 1 ; and I pledge myself to give support to the opinions which you collectively approve and dictate, or resign, if called upon to do so by a majority of my Constituents; — having no personal interest to serve, my time and attent : on shall be devoted to the best interests of the Colony. I am nefc, nor ever will be, a party man; my only object will be, the promoting your interests, and watching over the general welfaie and prosperity of the working class, the abolition of sinf ccies and unnecessary offices, a tax upon land as the best means of destroying monopoly ; cheap land and small farm?, which I consider will in a great measure put down the irritating effect of artificially raising the value of the necessaries of life, the extension of Roads, and opening up the country, Schools, Wharfs, &c. I shall adhere steadily to these principles, supporting such measures as tend to smooth difficulties, and increase domestic comfort. I have been living amongst you for the last eleven years, and as you think me a proper person to represent you, it will be a source of much gratification to me to devote my time and my best energies to "secure the happiness and prosperity of the Colony at large. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH MASTERS.
