iSUPHRINTENDENJDY, TO THE ALECTOitS OF TBE PROVINCE OF 1 AUCKLAND. / ! Gentl£men,-L / Upon matira consideration, and after having conferred withimy friends an 1 supporters at tb se' points within rW>b, I have felt it my dvly to \-v.i away all thougAts of retiring from this dhndidat it, in favour of Sin George Grey— and for lhe following reasons :—: — \ j 1. That Gentlaman in effect, sfrtes tiat his ol>ject in entering tke arena of jpuliu'cs if to bolster up, and if possibla.pe-petuate provincillism, wliirfr form of Grovernmem* lam of opii.ion slould be entirely abolished tbroi^Rout the colony/ 2. Sir George sbAwed an utter disv*gar<l for tht welfare of this prdvAoe wl^en he offered, with a view to strengthemnVStr Weld's hapds in forming a Ministry, that tbe Teat of Government should U removed from Auckland, and wlien he asserted that - be would yet see this Province at sach u low ebl that' grass would grow in the streets of the city. 3. He has been lookLig on quietly for the l-\->* seven years while Auckland bas befensufleringfion, neglect, the Province tiVated witp injustice, ai.-i almost starved out of polfcical existence, and duriu^ tbat time be bas not mamfested tbe slightest iv terest in ber welfare nor \sed eifiber his influence bis pen or bis tongue on ha* behJtf. 4. It is"relt, tbat even w\re h* elected Supeiiu tendent he would concern hapseF chiefly, if not entirely, with large theoretical lait^tions of constitutional Government, leaving tie/ present Executive to administer the affairs of mia Province as they are at present doing and witkl such wretched insults. V It is now ascertained tbat foil the attove reason :■* amongst many others the Candidature "taf Sir George Grey for the Superintendency wil not Jbe accepts ble to the electors of the ProviA^enerally,- ai,u fhat, therefore, a certain politioa^party on tbe *h,casion of their recent visit to Sir George, at Kaw.a misrepresented to him tbe wishes of the electontt - as well as my intentions id the maiter of this coi test. / I -An important qtiestiot^ — the refolm of t&s co.* stitiu ion — is now occupying public lattention, ai d will ha veto be dealt «\wth shortly W the Houh< of Representatives, wh#re I hope to nave a seat. >- am of opinion, stat-ed thatithe time hu^ come when ProvincJaipmr should be entirely abolished, and alsothiat tbe lands of the lolony should be dealt with by the House of Representatives only, - all land revenue beaomitfg colonial revenue,- i:r.«only for the better slcurity of the puilic creditor - but also in order to /facilitate thß~mcre equitable distribution of any surplus funds, aftlr providii..-'. for loans, that may/be available for such purponrns education and tl/e building of schooltiouses, !"<.«.>- public works; grauis in aid to road boarUs, <fee. •In abolishing Provincialism, much oA the re] iw sentative element m the govei'nment of A© eouna . will of course be swept -away ; and to compensaifor that, it will, IJ think be necessary tb alter- t&.vr Constitution of tile Upper House, by Vnakin^ "v lar<3fe proportioni-say two-thirds, if noi ali : —tl;t members of that branch' of the Legislatur* , instead of nominte, as J at present. L fchfct, a^' •» tbat it would hare a salutary effect if -th** f©*i» ivr which members are elected to the Houf* of Kepi> sentatives, were reduced to three yean*» aniif meLbess of either Hbuse, who accepted Sifice, +eve cou - pelled to comeback to thp^ constituent! for rr election, as in Hnglan/V' l^ Victoria, and ejsewhoi' As to wh*tlsW&& be' substituted fon Provii - cialiani, I tbini little wHI be required lfeyoai.. <- re-arrangemeniJof certain departments of lie Gi*'ral Goverwnejlt, and an increase of powers ar-.w* grants of mon<jy to road boards. SucH amdadmci. a of the Constitution Act as I have briefly kketcm '. above, would place in the hands of tbe papplfc « ■•> more real po^er than they now possess. 1 Wwi promote public spirit, of which we stand much '* : - need, and would impart to public opinion hun^ out the connxry such force and effect that no government would pare to disregard it. With regard to matters more imm jdiat- !-• relating to fte duties of Superintendent, ; ou w . ! remember wat during the lust session of C )uncll I joined in successful!^ opposing tbe Educaifeon A« • introducecf by Messrs. Sheehan, Dignan, aitd Ep • which Acl proposed to abolish tbe Centn 1 Bu^ : of Educajfton and vest the powers in the h md «>' < commissuDner to be appointed by the P "ovjuu ,i Council./ I also opposed the present hous i-tax * : manhooi-tax for education, and defeated the t i vernraent of Mr. Sheehan on the question or T transfe/ of tho control of the police from tpe (.U-x^-ral to fhe Provincial Authority. I I think the Thames foreshore sbould pc p as an/endowineut to the local governing b« • there/ j If felscted, I shall endeavour to co-opfrate in friewlly spirit with the General Government, ji. - • so watch over the interests of the Province tb.t . » ■« regirds finance at aH events, its decliling p' • shal be less of & 'struggle for existence than i- - years just past. | t shall also endeavour to Bee that whin tha . ■ sttfto cf things is being inaugurated this Iporti' ■■> T Nfew Zealand shall not be plumed at anj cli v -i»'\ l fB° uS compared with the South, sld tli.-.t Jeat uatiual r^ources and splendid «ogi.jj<» Position shall be so far utilized that tb J ;>r.
