To William Fitzherbert, Esq. Wellington, July 29th, 1853.
Sir,— -. Your" address to 'the Electors is the most masterly production of the kind which ha? yet appeared in print in this settlement. At the Public Meeting held on the 27th inst., at the Britannia Saloon, you gave back to the voters all the promises they had made (o support you if they had any doubt about you. And you stated that if you were elected and should be found acting in opposition to the principles expressed in your published address, you would resign of your own accord. Now there are twoquestions, upon yonr ansren to which some votes are depending. First. t)o you leave the question whether you shall have acted contrary to the principles expressed in your published Address to the determination of the Electors, or do you reserve to yourself the interpretation o! your Add rest* ? Second. Will you if elected wholly protest against the imposition of the New Zealand Company's debt upon the Colony ? I am, Sir, Your 01-edient Servan', AN ELECTOR.
