To the Electors of the Province of Auckland,

pEMTLKMKN,- In pursuance of the announceW ment. made by mo when consenting t.o become a Candidate for the office of S u periritetide t« t of the Province of Auckland that I would take an early opportunity of laying ray views before you, I have now the honour to state that for some years past 1 have looked upon the Provincial Government as costing more money than it was worth ; and this view I have repeatedly expressed to some members of the Provincial Council, without being shown by any of them any reason to cause me to alter or even modify my belief. My opinions aa to the desirability of getting rid of the Provincial Government of Auckland have lately been strengthened, as I feel perfectly satisfied that the good derived from its operations are not at all commensurate with its costs, afnd as I am quite convinced that nearly all the work done by the Provincial Governments could be done better, more economically, and with greater satisfaction to tko rate payers through the instrumentality of local Boards and local institutions than by a Superintendent resident in Auckland.

In addition to the expense that would in nay opinion be saved to the count, y by the work of the Provincial Council being dune" bv local road and other boards, 1 believe that these boards would work more ha/ moniously with the General Government than the Provincial Government has hitherto done ; and as the opening up of the country is the undentak ; ng of greatest importance to th-i colony, the best method of getting the work done should most certainly in my opinion be adopted without loss of time.

And ss regards the goldfields, I entertain no doubt that the people on these fields could manage their affairs without the intervention of a Superintendent not resident in their neighbourhood, and that their local representatives could deal batter with the Supreme Government of the colony than a Provincial Government. With reference to the desirability of having the railways pushed on quickly, of course I entirely concur, and with regard to fostering the establishment of native industries I presume I need only refer you to my actions during the last fevt years. With regard to the present Government, I believe it to be the most able Government that New Zealand ever had, and I fully expect that il the Government receives from the forthcoming General Assembly that support to which I consider them entitled, tbs native difficulty and all other obstacles to the Government of the colony will disappear. , I am, gentlemen, V Your most obedient soavant, J. s. macfarlanjb., Auckland, June 5, 1873. . .....
