GENTLEMEN,— It is with considerable regret that I feel constrained to announce the resignation of the honor you conferred upon me at last election, in choosing me as your Member in the General Assembly of New Zealand. Many reasons have induced me to retire from political life at tbe present time, which I need not refer to ; but there is one that is perhaps known to most of you. You are aware that the firm of wbich I am a member recently became interested in a contract with the Government, and though I had forgotten the fact at the time, I now find that the acceptance of that contract fairly brings me within the provisions of the Disqualification Act , 1870. The present aspect of publio affairs is not of the most assuring character, and it would be presumptuous in me to indicate anything like the probabilities of the future — no one can do so ; but this much I may be permitted to say, that the " political situation" forms a fair justification for the course, as your representative, I pursued in the Assembly. I was one of those who waited on Mr Stafford and strongly urged him to demand a dissolution wben bis Ministry was upset last session, being of opinion that a House elected as the last was, and from the position of parties as well, was incapable of furnishing the material for a good and powerful Government. Moreover, old party ties bad been broken up, and been replaced by disorganisation and distrust, if not something worse, and the attempt to form a strong Government had therefore proved a failure. I have reason to know and acknowledge, tbat tbe best men from both sides of the House deplored that state of matters. A policy of prudence is not necessarily anti-progressive, as many people think, and if the establishment of such should be the final outcome oi the present entanglement, the lesson may not be too dearly purchased. Gentlemen, in severing the tie that unites us, I have to express my gratitude for the uniform courtesy and confidence received at your bands. In return I think I can truly say, that I am not conscious of having abused that confidence in tbe slightest degree — by my votes, or otherwise. I have endeavored to act up to the light I possessed. At any rate, my desire was, and I hope it has been fulfilled, that my constituency should not suffer in reputation by my representation. I have tha honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedt. servt., W. H. CALDER. 17th March, 1873. JOHN R. CUTHBERTSON, ESQ., INVERCARGILL. OIR, — We, the undersigned electors of the town kJ of Invercargill, request that you will allow yourself to be nominated to represent our constituency in the House of Representatives, and in the event of your acceding to our request, we pledge ourselves to use our best exertions to secure your return. (Signed) Robert Tapper Joseph Stock Wm. Blackwood D. L. Matheson Wm. Shields B. Ekensteen, And sixty-two others. Invercargill, 20th March, 1873. To Messrs Tapper, Stock, Blackwood, Matheson, Ekensteen, Shields, and the other gentlemen signing tbe requisition. GENTLEMEN, — I am much gratified by the expression of your confidence, and your request that I should become a candidate for the representation of Invercargill. I shall be happy to- place my services at your disposal. My sympathies, as- you are aware, are strongly enlisted in favor of the energetic prosecution of the Public Works and Immigration Policy. I have only to addthat I will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors in person,—! am, ke., J OHN R. CUTHBERTSON.
