I Election Notices. INVERCARGILL ELECTION. To J. A, R. Mbnzies, Esq., John Blacklock:, Esq., David Mitchell, Esq., and the Gentlemen who signed the Requisition.* p ENTLEMEN,— The invitation which you have done me the honor to address to me, to become a Candidate for the Representation of the Town of Invercargill in the General Assembly, affords me the greatest pleasure, not only as a proof of confidence reposed in me by a number of gentleman for whose opinion I entertain the highest respect, but also as being likely to afford me an opportunity of serving the Province of Southland, with which my interest and feelings have long been identified % Should the constituency return me, which, from the names appended to the Requisition, can, I^conceive, hardly be doubtful, you and they may be assured that no effort shall be wanting on my part to represent the interests of the Town and Province faithfully and zealously. | Those interests appear to me to demand the j furtherance of some plan of Separation by which the South may be relieved in some measure from past, and wholly from future burdens arising from Native questions which only concern the Northern Provinces, but I am of opinion that even the greatest (} extent of financial relief which ! the Province could gain from such a measure would be dearly bought if attained by any sacrifice of, or danger to, its powers of local self-govern-ment, and its freedom to develop its resources in accordance with the wishes of its inhabitants. If elected, it would ever be my object to maintain the independence of the Province ; to secure for it its due influence in the management of th« common affairs of the Colony, and its fair share of benefit from all general expenditure, and no measure of organic change would receive my support, except in so far as they appeared calculated to further these objects. To all new matters as they arise, it would be my dnty and my pleasure to confer with my constituents, and to receive and impart explanation on any point on which doubt or difference oj opinion appeared to exist. \ I have the honor to be, (Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, THEOPH. HEALE. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MATAURA DISTRICT. p ENTLEMAN, — In compliance with a numer-. VX ously signed requisition, I have the' honor to offer myself as a candidate for your Suffrages as a member of the House of Representatives. My views are opposed to the political separation of the two islands ; and the war in the North being now almost at an end, I apprehend there is not at present any necessity for a financial separation. I do not think tliat the Imperial Government would accord Separation, even if it were demanded. I am strongly opposed to the annexation of this Province to Otago. Such would entirely destroy our representative system as a Province. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant. J. McCLURE.
