Electoral to the saving of the colony of no less a sum than £2,000 a day, to which the colony has been put for something like six or eight months past; or if he had not the power to take action himself in the matter, he would have brought his opinions so prominently before the House with such convincing arguments, founded upon his long and intimate knowledge of the difficulty, and I am right in saying in this particular instance, that those in power would have been compelled possibly even against their prior convictions to surrender their own and adopt his, and the country would have been great gainers. The natural courage with which he is gifted he will tajce with him into the House, making himself heard and his opinions respected as ' coming with authority. His views are liberal, but he protests, and I think very properly, at being considered a blind follower of Sir ! George Grey, the Hon. Mr Hall, or any other man who may for the time being be the leader of the Ministry or in opposition, but he pledges himself to go further on the Education question than the other candidates inasmuch that he will advocate the granting of subsidies to private schools, and this pledge is made by him ' not as anything new or clap-trap to catch ■any particular , class of voters ; he has told you he advocated the same principle when sitting in the Provincial Council as member for the Thames constituency some years ago. The question may be asked what has Mr Mackay done for the Thames district beyond the duties incumbent upon him as Native Commissioner on the opening of this goldfield ? In reply I state, without fear of contradition, that be has made a free gift to the Thames inhabitants of five acres of land, for which he paid the natives £8 per acre, and afterwards native duty and other charges,: which land is conveyed to trustees to be held in perpetuity as a cemetery, and that if he had not so given or parted with the land now forming our present cemetery we could not have obtained a site nearer than Rewi's Hill beyond Parawai. Further, he secured from the natives a free gift of all the present sites of the Churches for all the, religious denomina- j tions on the Thames. For these two acts of charily I tbink you will all agree with me that he deserves something more than empty thanks at our hands. In conclusion, I ask and beg of you to rally round the. man who has the ability, and is willing to exert that ability for your benefit, and will act, if returned, in such a manner as to cause us to look up to him with pride as our member.—l am, &c , An Electob.
