that he should himself vote, not for Colonel Wynyard. but for another candidate. The distinction between signing and voting is a strange one ; but it is Colonel Wynvard's party that made it. THCREroRE, those who do not wish to vote for the Colonel, need not. Many who promised their votes in addition to their signatures, were toJd that Mr, Bartley had promised to resign, if Colonel Wynyard came forward. This is utterly untrue, aud the promulgators knew it to be untrue. The promise being conditional, and the conditions boing not made good, those electors are doubly absolved. Many were told that Bishop Pompalier had promised to sign. His Lordship did not sign. Those likewise are doubly absolved. Some have been assured by Colonel Wynyard's Committee that Governor Grey had declared his intention of removing the seat of Government to Wellington, should Mr. Brown be returned. This is a flat untruth : Governor Grey has never intimated any such intention ; he has been harder hit in the South than ever he was in the North, and certainly would not throw himself into the jaws of Dr. Featherston, for the sake of avoiding Mr. Brown. Those likewise are doubly absolved. Many have incautiously given ear to the calumnious assertions which have boon circulated, without check from, Colonel Wynyard, by his Committee : — namely, that the rival candidate is indecent, disloyal, malicious, a man whom no oath can bind, a disgrace to the town, a monopolist, an infidel, a liar, and a surreptitious obtaincr of letters. Those likowiseare doubly absolved. To those who complain that their signatures were appended to Colonel Wynyard's requisition without their own consent, no observation need be addressed. Shew your regard for truth by withdrawing from such as have told you untruths ; and then — Think for yourselves, whether you will choose a Colonel or a Colonist.
