Electoral. delight to honor, for any member of the Ministry, o any subservient tool they may elect to 3et over us. I am not deterred from espousing the cause of Separation-be it that of Aucklsnd from the rest of the colony, or that of the two Islands—by, factitious difficulti s about Colonial indebtedness. Such difficulties did not stand in the way of the dismemberment of the Provincos of Wellington, Otago, and Canterbury, when the policy of supping and undermining Provincial Administration was commenced by the Centralists of those days. In all cases of Fedoral Separation, the condition precedent is an adjustment of exioting burtfens, an equitable calculation of assots, and a consideration of losses sustained through compacts that may have worked unfairly. As regards the smaller Provinces of Taranald, Hawke's ETeleon, Marlborough, and Westland, there 13 the strange spectacle presented to us of the authorities of those Provinces clamouring for the abolition of the offices they were elected :o fill, and at the same time clinging: tenaciously to the emoluments attached to those offices. I believe it would tend to arouse t-.ose portions of New Zealand from their torpor, if the reins of power with regard to Taraaaki and Hawlie's Bay were to pass into the hands of the Superintendent of Wellington, and as regards Nelson, Marlborough, and Westlsnd into the hands of the Superintendent of Canterbury. Any savings arising from such annexation should be dedicated as " substantial endowments" for the districts annexed. I do not profess to be swayed by any maudlin sentimentality about a united Colony, nor am I c»ptl- , vated with such fumes of fancy as that New Zealand is to shoot up at once into a mighty power dominating these seas. My pretensions are cf a different colour. I desire to promote the happiness of the greatest number ; not by inculcating Qaixotic ideas, but by endeavouring to ameliorate the condition of the masses, by increasing the facilities for the acquisition of the soil, and by reducing taxation on articles of daily use, as was proposed last session with regard to tea, flour, and sugar. If I should, on this occasion, be again honored with your confidence, I shall in the future, as I have endeavoured to do heretofore, hold that it is my'nrsfc duty to watch over your interests; my next, to consul for the welfare of the Province, which is endeared to us by so many ties. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, G. MAUEICE O'RORKE. Olsehunga, 2nd December, 1575. npo THEELECTOES OF WAITEMaTA. Gentlemen,—l beg to announce myself as a Candidate to represent your interests in the forthcoming Parliament.

Hi rpO THE ELECTORS OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,—Being assured that several of the candidates, desirous of representing your district in Parliament, are making an active canvass of the electors, and endeavouring to obtain pledges of their votes, I deem it my duty to intimate to you that I disapprove altogether of trying to influence electors to give any promise whatever, and that I consider such proceedings to be virtually an improper interference with electors, and calculated to destroy the usefulness of the vote by ballot, as also being likely to lead to the stirring up of animosity between friends I trust, therefore, that my. mode of action may not be misconstrued into indifference to obtain the support of all electors who may deem me worthy of their confidence. • ' I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. 8.
