TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST.

GENTLEMEN,— At the request of a large number of my fellow settlers, I have consented to stand for the district,

I feel honored by the distinction of being asked to represent the district which I have lived in for seventeen years, and have seen bo improved by settlement as to be one of the beat in the colony. I need hardly say that if returned I shall do my utmost for the electorate, While feeling that I should be greatly honored by being returned, I yet consider that Elector* are under an obligation to a Member, if he doe* his duty, for the time, trouble, and expense be is put to on their behalf.

I regret that I cannot spare time at this busy season of the year to canvass, nor am I bo wealthy aa to be able to spend money over the election.

I will at the larger centre* of population address the Electors qnfl give ouch informa, tion aa to my political opinions aa may be necessary, which, combined with a know, ledge dime that a great many ot my fellowsettler* have, ehould be amply sufficient to satisfy Electors in voting. I should, if returned, expect to exercise entire independence in my actions in Parliament, using my judgment to vote a* I think right and best suited for the constituency. I am a believer in the present Government, with Sir Harry Atkinson a* Premier, though I should not be a blind supporter. I think the late addition to the Ministry and the new distribution of scats likely to strengthen the present Government) and I consider their steady conduct in the affair* of the country, particularly with regard to retrenchment, ha* materially resuscitated the credit of the colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowintf* Thia country, I feejieve, Is now recovering from the Ipng depression, and only wants a eontinuation of the present careful management, and re*t from experimental politics, to make great progress, not perhaps by leap* and bound* aa formerly, but surely, steadily, and on a firmer and more lasting basis,

I should vote for reduction in taxation directly it la possible. I believe in every facility being given for men of |m*U means to acquire land, apd that land for such purposes should be opened for selection wherever suitable,

In Native land matters, after considerable experience, I believe in absolute free trade, removing all possible restrictions. I am a strong advocate of (ree education, but consider that under present cirouffietances the cost is greater than we can afford. From my long residence here, } hnow the district intimately, and pur wapts and interests pre identical. I fear that I am wanting in powers of oratory to do full justice to the constituency in Parliament! but whatever ability I may possss* X should use it to the utmost of my power tor th* better government of ths country and th* benefit of the district.
