ROSS,KINGSLAND, HAY, and the other Electors signing the Requisition. I thank you heartily for the honor you have conferred on me in asking me to become a candidate for a Beat in the Provhicial Council, to represent the district of Invercargill, and willingly accept your invitation. ; Such a mark of confidence from so large a number of Electors possesses at the present time a special value and significance which I fully -appreciate.- - - - -•- ■ ■ It was my intention, for reasons of a personal character, to nave retired for some tune from the field of Provincial politics in the course of the ensuing summer, but at the desire of many friends I lately agreed to delay acting- oh this intention, - «id ib resume for a time, the duties of Superintendent, in event of.behag re-elected to that o&ee by the new CounciL I would not have considered such a course to be an imperative duty if the cireumßtances of the Province Iwere more yoaperous. As they are at present, I felt matt reliMJlant to wUhhold any aid that I could give towards the f restoration of its prosperity, in the proximate realieation and future continuance of which I have undoubted confidence ; or, if it >ira« offered, to shrink from accepting the pOßtpf ■ honor when it had become one of difficulty. ; It ia due to you and right that I, should; state my Tiew* on some questions which have already -been keenly debated, and which will come under the conwdew&um of the next Provincial Council, aal -upon which, it may be, those views are npfc underetooL "One of those i» — the nature of * &c o6haxmttai-ion of theßovihcial^rovernTneni, ■WTegards' the relations of tlie Superintendent - with the Under the lavr» at preterit in operation, the executive pdwer« of tliie tiu^rmtemeat are derired partly from the T?rotinejal Council, and partly from authority, extraaeoua and «upe«or to «iat of tlie Council, over jr&dxshe Provincial Council hove no control ; ■ its will ftlone cannot absolutely determine how thaw? particular ■povrert rfiaH H exermed.
