TO THE.BIiBOrORB of WAIEAEAPA 71ENTLEMEN,The Wairarapa being divided 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 of the Wairarapa in live successive Parliaments, I with confidence ask yon to again eleet me! ( As soon as the Writs aro out, I- shall invito you to meet me in the several centres of Your obedient servant, HIWKY BUNNY, TO THE ELECTORS of WA'IKARAPA' pi ENTLEIIEN,ut In accordance with my already published intention, I now beg to offer myself as a candidate 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, should be the walchward of all the sections of each a district as this, as well as of all its settlers, whether living in town or country. - Tho 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, Sinoe 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 questioa requires more than passing notice, It is intolerable that the colony should be called upon to maintain a standing army at micli a ruinous oxpendi turo, and To Whiti should'be Sternly told (in deeds, aud not in words), that lus latest departure is in reality his last, Upon the other various questions which will engage tho attention of electors, I shall be happy to explain ray views at the several centres of population m the electorate. While freely acknowledging the important services rendered by the JJall 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 develppe the material interest of the country generally. I remain, Yuurs faithfully, W, C. BUCHANAN,' |q Mtt. M. C4SELBEEG.
