Election Notices. TO WILLIAM SMAW, ESQ., Weld Stbeet, TFokitika. QIB, — As tlio time approaches for the election of members to form tho Municipal Council, vro desire that early measures bo taken to secure your election, should you consent to bo nominated. We are confident that tho interests of the town will not suffer in your hands. Your long oxporionce in business, both in this Colony and in Victoria, is a guarantee that, if elected, tho various Municipal matters brought before you will be dealt with in a practical manner. Difficulties of a peculiar nature will arise in tho first sittings of the Council : wo are confident these difficulties will be more easily suymounted, if the council bo composed of gentlemen like yourself, possessing very considerable experience in the formation of new settlements and districts. , Richard Reeves and Co.

My o.xperionco and ability I feel sure you over-estimate ; but such as they are I place them at tho disposal of tho electors, should they confer upon mo tho honorable distinction of being ono of thoir representatives. I cannot but regard with deep interest tho grdat responsibility that may, and most probably will, devolve upon the first Council that will bo selected to represent this long neglected and misgoverned district.
