To the Electors of the City of Wellington and of the Butt District.

ft ENTLEMEN— I beg to offer myself **■** as a Candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives, and also in the Provincial Council for Wellington. I have, as you are aware, always been a strong supporter of Representative Institutions and Responsible Government. My career has been known to you from the commencement of the colony. I have throughout advocated to the best of my ability the in. terests of the colony in all leading matters, and am prepared, if elected, to watch over and protect especially the interests of the working classes, and to support all such measures as will conduce to the benefit' and welfare of the colony, and of this province — my position in the colony will be some guarantee of this pledge being carried out. Without going into details, I am favorable to the reduction of the price of land, and shall use all my endeavours to procure the erection of a suitable lighthouse for the approach of this harbour with out any unnecessary delay, and also to the formation of Roads, Bridges, and Ferries, and such other public works as may be absolutely requisite for the use of the colony, and the advancement of this province. With these views, I think some measures should be adopt ed for the introduction of emigrants from Lome, or the neighbouring col6nies, and the

employment of the Natives. I have always advocated the education of all classes, and I think some rjlan should be adopted for the education of the rising native generation in the English language and habits, with the object of their being beneficially employed in the various grades of European occupation. I also think that all religious denominations should be self-supporting, and shall oppose any measures which may impose unnecessarily upon any particular religious class or

body. I propose that the existing tariff be simplified and placed upon a similar footing to that of the Australian colonies. In conclusion, I beg to assure you that I shall strenuously advocate the greatest economy in every department of the Government, and oppose every attempt at sinecure or monopoly. I shall be happy to give any further explanation of my views if required, and have the honor to be Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, W. B. RHODES, Wellington, 29th June, 1853,
