TO THE ELEOTORSof WAIBABAPA A ENTLEMEN,into two Electoral Districts, I beg to offer myself as a candidate to represent the Southern Division in the next Parliament. Having represented the Electors oi the Wttirarapa in five sucoessivo Parliaments, I with confidence ask yon to again elect me, Ab soon as the Writs are out, I Bhall invite you to meet me in the several centres of Your obedient servant,. HENEY BUNNJ. TO THE ELEOTOES of WMRAEAPA n ENTLEMEN,In accordance with my already published intention, I now beg to offer myself as a caudidate for the representation of your district at the coming general election. I cannot but regret the recent division of the old electorates, and in this expression I feel satisfied public sympathy goes with me—not only in this, but in the the majority of other districts of the colony. Union, and not dissension, Bhould be the watchward of all the sections of such a district as this, as well as of all its settlers, whether living in town or country,

The widespread feeling which has recently arisen that if we are to prosper as a colony we must unite in developing the many natural resources which lie in abundance around us, has found its expression in the prominence attained by the local government aud other similar questions during last session of Parliament. Since becoming a settler amongst you, any services I may have been able to render in this direction have always met with the most generous recognition; and 1 can only assure you that, if elected, no effort on my part will be spared in assisting to place these allimportant questions upon a satisfactory footing, The Native questioi requires more than passing notice. It is intolerable that the colony Bhonld be called upon to maintain & standing army at such a ruinous expendi ture, andTe Whiti should be sternly told (in deeds, and not in words), that his latest departure is in reality his last. Upon the other various questions which will engage the attention of eleotors, I shall be happy to explain my views at the Beveral centres of population in the electorate, While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by the Hall Government at a critical period of the colony's history, I shall decline to pledge myself to any party, but will give my support in the direction best calculated to develops the material interests of the country generally. I remain, Yours faithfully, W. C. BUCHANAN. TO MR. M. CASELBERG.
