To £he Electors of the Wellington Country District. Wellington, 12th July, 1853. ((^ ENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as a candidate at the approaching election' for the honor of representing you in the Council, •of this Province. I do not think it at present necessary to enter into any lengthened exposition of ray views — ;the powers of the provincial Council not being yet very accurately defined. I will . however briefly state, that I am in favour of cheap land, and of each provincial Council hay-, ing the management of its own waste land. I see the urgent necessity for the immediate revival of immigration, and I would earnestly i support any feasible plan for that purpose, my 1 own opinion is that a plan can be matured by which large numbers of immigrants may be introduced from the neighbouring Colonies. I am in favour of an amended tariff, but this will have to be dealt with by the General As--sembly. I will zealously support an economical expenditure of that portion of the revenue which will be placed under our control, and you will •find me no niggard when money is required for useful purposes, such as roads, bridges, ferries, wharves, &c, &c. In conclusion I dislike the system of giving ■pledges, yet when the opinion o f the representative, on general subjects, differs with those held by a majority of the electors, it is then, I consider, the duty of the representative to resign {his trust into the hands of his constituency. I am. Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, PtOBERT WAITT.

To the Electors of the Wellington Country Districts. .f* ENTLEMEN— I beg to offer myself a Candidate for the honor of representing you in the Provincial Council, I believe I am known to many of you, having been amona: you for the last twelve years as an active Colonist, and deeply interested in the welfare of the Colony, during which time I think I have acquired some knowledge of its resources and requirements, and as your interest is identical with my own, it is my duty as -well as interest to promote its advancement. 1 shall briefly state a few of the principles and opinions I hold, and on which I solicit your suffrages. I am favourable to the reduced price of land, and will support any measures tending to encourage a permanent population by sales of Crown land, in sections of twenty acres or up- i wards; — this policy would induce thousands of persons now in the gold fields of the neighbouring colonies to become purchasers of land and settters here. Internal communication being a subject of vital importance, I shall always be ready to advocate a liberal expenditure for the formation \ of roads and erection of bridges. I hold it to be an essential duty to encourage Education as the safeguard of political freedom, and shall always be found anxious to promote its diffusion, assured that the welfare and happiness of the people depend in a great measure on the means afforded fo their mental and moral culture. The introduction of steam, the erection of wharves, lighthouses, &c, and economy in the expenditure of the revenue, and whatever in my opinion may conduce to the general interests of the Province shall alsohave my support. Should you do me the honor to elect me one of your representatives, I pledge myself fearlessly and honestly to use my best exertions to forward these views, and to merit your confidence. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, C. W. SCHULTZE. Hobson -street, Wellington, July Bth, 1853.
