LECTORS OF WELLINGTON. “Representative institutions are of little value, and maybea mere instrument of tyranny or intrigue, when the generality of electors are not sufficiently interested in their own government to give their vote ; or if they vote at all, do not bestowtheir suffrages on public grounds but sell them for money, or vote at the beck of some : one who has the control over them, or whom, for private reasons, they desire to propitiate. “ Popular election, thus practised, instead of a security against misgovernment, is but an additional wheel in its machinery. “JOHN STUART MILL.” 3K IN PURSUANCE of the Regulation of Elections Act, 1870, I, James Coutta Crawford, Returning Officer for the Electoral District of City of Wellington, do hereby give notice that by virtue of a Writ, bearing date the sixth day of December, 1875, under the Public Seal of the Colony, an election will be held for the return of two qualified persons to serve as Members of the House of Representatives for the said Electoral District, and that the Nomination of Candidates will take place at the Resident Magistrate’s Courthouse, Wellington, at noon, on the 20th day of December, 1875, and that the Poll, if necessary, will be taken on the 23rd day of December, 1875.
