To the Electors of Egmont. GENTLEMEN, —I have the honor to again offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the House of Representatives. Nothing but the heavy pressure of important public business, mainly relating to your district, has prevented mo from visiting you before this. Of General Politics, or of the manner in which I have executed the trust yon have so long reposed in me, I will say little, as I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you personally in a few days. I must, however, with regard to Native matters, say a word or two at once; the subject being of such paramount importance to our district. Two years ago I promised that I would support no Government that would not effectually settle the Native difficulty on our Coast. Since taking office, I have told yon that the Government were steadily working in that direction, and while they would not be unduly hurried on the one band, on the other they would not be debarred from enforcing the authority of the law for fear of any consequences. If yon vVill recall to mind how matters stood two years ago, and compare them with the state of things at present, you will see at a glance that a great advance has been made ; and I now say emphatically that the time has come when an end must be made of this standing threat to the peace of the colony and district; and that it must, and I believe will, be effectually disposed of during this summer. I cannot conclude without congratulating you upon having made probably more proportionate progress since I have represented you in Parliament than almost any other district in the Colony, and this notwithstanding the difficulties against which we have had to contend. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, H. A.
