TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. ENTLEM.EN —A vacancy having occurred VT in the representation of the Heathcote District, I hare the honor to otl'er my services as one of your members in the Provincial Council. Although personally unknown to many of you. I liave been a resident in the colony for more than fire years, and my interests are closely hound up with" those of the province generally. If you do mc the honor to elect mc I shall do my best to promote the welfare of your district as one of the most important constituencies of the settlement. My present position in the Government requires some notice on my part. A few weeks ago when circumstances arose of such a character as to cause a serious interruption to the conduct of public business, I determined when called upon to accept the oiVipe of Provincial Secretary, and since that time I have devoted myself to the discharge of the duties which devolved upon mc. I am now anxious to obtain a seat in the Provincial Council that I may be in a situation to explain the particular position and details of such matters as are within my cognizance, and with which no one eke can be equally well acquainted. I am well aware that many misrepresentations are circulated as to late occurrences, and that there exists a strong opposition to my return. The opposition that is being organised appears as if it was intended to prevent a fair discussion of the various subjects to which it is likely the attention of the Council will be drawn, but I think I may safely rely on the love of fair play on the part ot the electors, and feel sure that they will allow no party feeling to prejudice the interests of the country. In the meantime, I may state on behalf of my colleagues and myself that we are prepared to carry on the public works in such a way as to open up the country, and ailbrcl such facilities of communication to purchasers of waste lands as to secure then* rights to individual purchasers, and promote the general welfare of the community. lam in a position to state that at an early period such measures will be laid before the Council for the future administration of the public business as will, I am confident, secure the approbation of all classes. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Wμ. Kollestox. Jan. 12,1864. TO THE ELECTORS OF TIIE lIEATHCOTE.
