ELECTION FOR THE CITY OF NELSON, OF MEMBERS TO SERVE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THE FRIENDS of E. W. STAFFORD, J Esq., and of ALFRED DOMETT, Esq., are requested to MEET at the Masonic Hotel, on SATURDAY evening next, the 2_th instant, at Seven o'clock, for the purpose of appointing a committee to conduct the election of those gentlemen. Nelson, November 17, 1860. 1363 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF NELSON. Gentlemen—l have the honor to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the representation of the City of Nelson in the next Parliament. Almost all subjects of general importance likely to occupy the attention of the General Assembly at its ensuing session have been mooted during that just concluded, and you are consequently in possession of my opinions thereupon. With respect to the most serious subject of all, the war in which the Government found itself necessitated to engage with the rebellious natives of Taranaki, I may remark, that, however desirous I may be to see it concluded, I cannot think it right that any peace should be established except such an one as might reasonably be expected to be permanent; and that ifc is essential to such permanence, that the natives should be convinced of the power of tho British Government to enforce obedience to tbe law. If I am fortunate enough to agree in opinion with you on this and other points, I shall be happy to serve as your representative. If, however, you prefer to elect some One else, I can assure you sincerely it will not efface the recollection of the very complimentary manner in which you originally conferred that honor upon me. I have, &c, ALFRED DOMETT. Nelson, November ] 6. 1364 npo THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF JL NELSON. Gentlemen, —The Governor having dissolved the General Assembly, I have the honor to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the representation of the City of Nelson in the new Parliament. From a consideration of the part which I have for some years taken in the public affairs of New Zealand, you will be better enabled to judge of mv probable political conduct for the future, than from any professions which I might now make, and, consequently, whether you would wish to renew the trust you have hitherto conferred upon me. Whatever may be your decision on the present occasion, I shall always remember with pleasure the intimate connection which has so long subsisted between the people of.'Nelson and myself, and with gratitude the circumstance that on many important occaaions they have honored me with their confidence.. * It is a cause of great regret to me that, owing to the unavoidable pressure of public business, I am unable to visit Nelson before the coming election, and am thus precluded from the personal interviews with the Electors which it would have afforded me so much pleasure to hold. 1 remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, E.
