Wellington, June *Bth, 1*53, rj.ENTLEMEN— I have received the • requisition whicH you have presented to me, with feelings of proud satisfaction mingled with some regret— proud to recognise in it evidence that I possess the public confidence and esteem of so large" and influential a portion of my fellow-colonists, I regret that in order to comply with their wishes, I must sacrifice iriy own. for it, was my wish and intention not to take any active part, save as an Elector* in ihe forthcoming, elections, and I hare 'steadily refused numerous private solicitations, to come forward as *> candidate; but as t confer tfcat to disregard such a call as this would aatle* present circumstances subject me to a charge of dereliction of the first duty of a good citiieo, I yield my wishes to yours, and tensest to fte nominated as you request:' In tfdiagso, I offer you the best evidence I can «i*e of my appreciation of the highly flattering Vfatihction with" which" you have' honoured me. My political opinions, Have been lon& before you, they remain Unchanged' except in so Tar *s they may have become modified by the great political and- social change's goiDgfotf amongst •and around us, changes- which' appear to me calculated to largely increase the responsibilU Jies of legislation, arid tfteall^poh electors for the ttHniost'care and deliberation" m r the exercise bf their privilege*'. ' Mi* past career then, %ill be the best guarantee I can give for fSi future. " Averse to the practice of giving or requiring specific pledges, I may state generally — That I consider the recent' Land Regulations of Sir George Grey a most wise and beneficial measure. That strict economy with due regard to efficiency in the : public service ; Roads' for Town and Country by means' of local taxation (wherever 'expedient); Education for both races — Steam Communication — the Agricultural, Pastoral, Commercial and Labouring interests — the encouragement of Native Prdduction and Native Labour — Social Institutions and Improvements — will alwajte receive the best advocacy,'! can bestow. A member of the Episcopal Church of England, I admire religious liberty, and will never countenance the domination of any sect. One specific pledge I offer and that is. if elected, L will* resign my trust when called upon to do so by a majority of those who conferred it. As 1 hold that each vote obtained by solicitation loses half its value both to giver and receiver, and as I regard those to be gained by importunity as differing but in degree from purchased votes/ 1 hope to be excused from any expectation' of personal canvass. My view is, that if the electors have confidence in and desire the public services of any. one. of their number, they should bring their votes as free will offerings, and if they have not that confidence and do not so desire, then let them not vote though they be entreated to the utmost. I say this* not in the belief; that my fellow electors will so lightly regard their duty to themselves and to each other .;l)ut because I am unwilling to see what I have always regarded as an unworthy custom introduced and acted upon here, and because I cannot admit its necessity. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient and faithful Servant. __ ' ■*•—---- ~~ ; ,<j£ORGE MOORE. To Messrs. R. J. Duncan, G. Hunter, and th« Gentlemen who signed the Requisition.
