To the Electors of the City of Wellington.

"RROTHER ELECTORS,— One reJJ suit of .the struggle for the representation of your City in the Provincial Council, namely, the fact that one hundred and seventy nine votes were spontaneously recorded in my favour, and the very liberal promises of support which I have received, have induced me to consent "to be put in nomination at the elertion of Members to represent you in the House of Representatives, with the clear understanding that I will go to attend its meeting • should they be held at Auckland or elsewhere. I am encouraged to do this by the circumtancesthat even among those who havebeenmost actively opposed to me, there are some who on personal grounds regret that I did not succeed. They voted and acted, as they believed, in the assertion of a great principle, and I respect them the more that they have not allowed personal considerations to interfere with their public duty. To those Electors who so honourably nnd generously afforded me their support I beg to return my most sincere thanks. My purpose if returned to the House of Representatives would be—To advocate the passing of a Law for the protection of honest but unfortunate Traders, and prevention of undue preferences by Insolvents-^— To propose a shore Law to remove any Doubts as to the Legality of the late Land 'Proclamation, and to concur in passing any law for securing cheap land — To maintain Civil and Religious Liberty and equality — To promote Public Education by every means in the power of the legislature — To secure the investigation of the present Tariff with a view to its amendment where objectionable — To recommend the establishment of a Standard of Weights and Measures — To move for a return of the amount of extra Duty levied on account of the Lighthouse, and of the steps taken to carry out that object — To support any Bill for a Tax upon Land — To oppose to the utmost the imposition of the New Zealand Company's Debt upon the Colony — and finally — if, after being placed in that high position, I shall be found wanting in ability, fail to represent you on the great questions of the day, or cease to possess your confidence, on receiving a clear intimation from you of the fact — To resign into your hands the trust committed to me. Firmly believing that so long as I should perform the duties of your Representative with ability and integrity, I should continue to possess your coufidence, I remain. Brother Electors, Yours very faithfully, ROBERT HART Hobson Street, Wellington, August 10, 1853.
