(xHJTI.EM),>*, — It appears 1o tut- that it W twu bo<\>n>e d sirablo that thooontiol of .Aiu-kland Piounual nlfkiwshou be transferred to tho hands cf others t nn tl o*c by who the Province lias been £"ViTiud dining the pn>-t With splendid resuuiees in imntl, com I, gold, iron, ar other minerals ; with 11 climate uiHiir|>ai»ed by any in tl world , itnd with u stnidy and industrious j>u})iiliition i from 00,000 to 70,000 people, who pay some £300,000 pt annum in taxe^ in one shapo or another for purposes of goo government, public works, <le., it is saddening to find tl» we, as a Provmce, arc not only making little or no atlrnnc towards permanent prosperity, but thut in mnuy points w are actually retrograding. I attributo this state of things to m government, tho il! judged expenditure of p\ibhc money, and extravagance i the past, which have entailed upon the community grievou burdens in t lie form of public debtf, for which interest an sinking funds have now to be provided by oppressivo tan duties and other forms of taxation. So for has tins state of things already gone that at th present moment the Pro\mcial authorities of Auckland nr at their wits' end, nnd fiud it exceedingly difficult and cm barrassing to provide adequate means even for such an mi portant object as education. This Province is placed at a further disadrantage b; renson of the manner it has been dealt \\ ith by tho Genera Government in the expenditure of the largo loans whiel were negotiated on the cicdit of the whole Colony for tin purposes of Immigration and Public Works. Although v»< in Auckland are chargeable u ith tho repayment of aboul one-fourth part of these loans, and although we contnbuti in about that proportion towards providing interest anc sinking fund 4 thereon, owing to want of united actioi by our Superintendent and representatives, only a verj small portion of tho borrowed money has been employed for our benefit. Our Provincial revenue for the ensuing year vf ill probably bo under £30,000, and out of this sum we have to maintain our police, gaols, hospitals, lunatic asylums, sick and destitute, harbours, &c, -which cost some £33,000 per annum. After paying the provincial salaries and departmental expenses on tho present scale, little or nothing v ill therefore remain for aid to road boards, for bridges, ferries, tramways at tho goldfields, &c, and m view of this state of things I believe it is our first duty to reduce these Provincial salaries and departmental expenses to an amount proportionate to our altered means. Our next duty is to require at the hands of our representatives that they unite in demanding from the Assembly and tiie Government that justice shall no longer be denied to this Province m the matter of the expenditure of tho money borrowed upon our credit conjointly with that of tho rest of the Colony. I desiro to become Superintendent of the Province that I may bo able to give practical cfl'ect to the above views, and that there may be some combined effort made to bring about a different state of things that more vitality may be imparted to our industries, such ns mining, agricultural pursuits, trade and commerce, and manufactures. If, however, you are content to go on as of yoro, and elect a politician of the old Auckland school, I think you will find, when too late, that additional burdensome taxation must speedily be resorted to. You will alio probably find that the old system of denominational education will be introduced into tins Province, a syitem so often used ns an instrument of favouritism to one party and of oppression to another ; a system bo productive of sectarian jealousies and bickerings that it has been abandoned by more advanced communities in favour of a national secular educational system. Should yon restore the old regime to power you will also find that the control of tho Police will soon be transferred to the Provincial authorities to bo used as it was before, for party or political purposes. During this Election contest I have been treated with unfairness by a portion of the Auckland Press, but, as many of you are aware, the persons whom these papers represent aie interested in re-introducing and continuing the stato of things which has led the Province into its present position. By tho abuse of political power and patronage in the past they themselves have been unable to prosper, while tho Province has so languished that it can hardly be in a worse position, and it now rests with you electors to say by your yotes whether you will entrust your affairs for another period of four years to the old hands, or whether you will give me your confidence and support, that I may, with the aid of a well-chosen Provincial Council, be enabled to inaugurate a change towards a better and healthier era. If you do me the honor to elect me, I will apply myself diligently and strenuously to effect retrenchment in Provincial lalaries and other departmental expenses ; to obtain justice for tho Province at the hands of the General Government, and to provide permanently for the means necessary to carry out a system of education v» ithout resorting to any such obnoxious and unjust measure as the present Education Tax. I »vi, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, J. M. DARGAVILLE.
