To J. Bacot, Esq.

SIR,_We, the undersigned Electors of the Pensioners Settlements, being satisfied that you are a gentlemen who would honestly represent our interest in the forthcoming Councils, do earnestly request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination for a seat in the House of Representatives. Patrick Brennan, and 116 others.

TO THE ELECTORS OP THE PENSIONERS SETTLEMENTS, WHO SIGNED THE ABOVE BEQUISJTION. " - Gentlemen — I have received your Re quisition, and comply with your request I should feel it an honour to represent the Pensioners in the General Assembly ; but I care nothing for a seat, unless you as a body, are anxious for me to have one. On many occasions I have stated my opinion that I do not consider an Officer on full pay the most fitting, candidate for civilian honors ; and sfyouldj an "equally numerous Requisition as that you have favoured me with, at any time desire me to retire and give place to a civilian Candidate,. I shall be equally then pleased to withdraw as I now now am to come forward. It is not that I do not value your interests, your votes, or your good opinion, but that I doubt my own ability and qualifications to serve you in the Council. 1 believe that most of you in Howick, in Panmure, and in Otahuhu, would vote for me, because I trust you have confidence in my good feeling towards you, and in the honesty of my intentions, during the period we have served together. But honesty and good feeling are not the only qualifications you will require in your Representative ; nor are they, perhaps, the only pledges you will ask— that he understauds and will do his duty. Unfortunately they are the only pledges I can give ; for, beyond general information as to the political feelings and progress of these Islands since our arrival, I know but little, and I know less of the history ef the Colony in its earlier years. Without some Btudyand enquiry, I would not pledge myself to any part in the struggle likely to take place between the North and South ; but if you do return me as your Representative, I will pledge myself to cousider every question to the best of my abilities, and to give my vote on all occasions without fear or favour for what I consider — the Right, Under any circumstancevS, I shall always remain your sincere well wisher and obedient servant, J. Bacot.
