•"i---' ■: .tr'LiADVBBTISEMBNi.], ;,, : : THAMEB ELECTOEATE. 1 (Per favour of the Evening Star.) CITIZENS,— The candidates have nar- '•■ rowed down to two—a fight between inonied influence, land monopolists, land ■harks, or a would-be English aristocracy, against the people—the happiness and prosperity of the many. The question is —Are ' ire to have legislation for ;the advantage of the favored few, or legislation for the most benefit of the greatest number? ;I a»k working men, laborers, mechanics, business men—l ask all, is it good for the best interests of the country ? I ask is it good for the happiness of the many that the lands of the colony should pass into the hands of the few P-- Gompafe France with England: ; the former with her . proprietary^ ; all may :Be: happ3,: coMortablerand prospe'rbtis;; the latter with her blood-sucker aristocracy, with her laboring millions to maintain the glittering show, and her six million paupers>_l ask wpuld England ever have paid the debt that France herk done—the debt of millions brought onhejr by the late war. England's aristocracy never would have paid such a debt, ana her "herd" never could. England's prosperity is localised—in the hands Of a few; that of France is general—in thje hands of the many. Citizens—working men—we hare to choose on the ninth instant, not only in this locality, bat throughout the country, between prosperity and slavery. Do your duty to your country, yourselves, and your children. Semember you have the secrecy of the ballot box, with no tyrannical eye upon you. Return men—honest men— wno will pass liberal measures for the benefit of the mass—-for the greatest good to the greatest number. Send the landsharking candidates and their agents into oblivion, however clever they may be,: they are too clever for the good of the people. Whatever liberal views they may Bold or profess, if their business—their bread and butter—necessitates their acting contrary to their professions, give them not the opportunity of misrepresenting us. They cannot serve two masters. —the land monopolists and the best interests of the people of New Zealand. —lam,<&c, Pbo Bono Pubiico. I
