Auckland, September 27th, 1855. Gentlemen, I have to thank you for the expression of confidence which so numerously signed a requisition, inviting me to become a Candidate for the office of Superintendent, conveys ; and with such assurances from you of success, I cannot hesitate to comply with your request. Should I be elected to the office, I trust that it is almost unnecessary for me to say, that I enter upon the duties solely for the* good of the public. Had I consulted my own private interests and feelings I should have refrained from taking any part in public affairs. At the call of so numerous and influential a body of my fellow colonists however, I consider it my duty to pi ace my services at their disposal, and beg tostate thatin the event of being returned, that my best (fforts shall be devoted to the advancement of this favoured Province. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. LOGAN CAMPBELL. To the Gentlemen forming the Deputation with the Requisition.

To the Electors of the City of Auckland. Gentlemen, IN compliance with the desire of a number of my fellow citizens, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for the honor of representing you in the Provincial Council. My long and immediate residence amongst you has enabled me to obtain an intimate acquaintance with your wants and requirements as a community. The interest which I have generally taken in any movement or undertaking calculated for the benefit or jrosperity of the province affords some proof of the course which, by your suffrage, I hope to have it in my power to adopt in public matters'. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant David Graham.

To the Electors of the Pensioner Settlements. p ENTLEMEN,— As you fell, I consider, into the great mistake at the last election for Members for the House of Representatives, of placing Major Greenwood at the head of the poll, I congratulate you on the opportunity now afforded you of repairing your error, and trusting that you will place me at the ensuing election in the position formerly occupied by that gentleman, I beg to subscribe myself, Your obedient servant, J. Bacot.

To the Electors of the Southern Division, n ENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as a candidate for a seat in the General Assembly. Neither my time nor inclination will enable me to make a personal canvass of the Division' but I trust my principlea are sufficiently known to justify me in indulging the hope that without this personal attention you will return me as one of your representatives. If otherwise I shall be perfectly satisfied, for, if I know anything of my own feelings, I seek to promote your interest and the interest of the Colony generally rather than my own personal ambition. I beg to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. Newman.

To the Electors of the City of Auckland. f^ ENTLEMEN.— Being de9irous to see our inVJ" ternal resources improved, our labour rewarded, our agriculture, manufactures, and commerce cherished and sustained, by united zeal and application to business in our Councils, I beg leave to offer myself as a candidate to represent the above interests (which are ours in common) with all -the ability 1 possess, in the Provincial Council. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Thos. Henderson.

To the Electors of the Northern Division, p ENTLEMEN,— at the request of several eleetors of your Division, I beg to offer myself as a candidate to represent your interests in the I Provincial Council. T I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Joseph May. Puke tapapa, Sept., 27, 1855. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND. /^\ ENTLEMEN,— One of the members who lately re\Jf presented you in the Provincial Council having left New Zealand, I do myself the honour of requesting you to place me in the position of one of your representatives.

I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Walter Lee. Auckland, 28th Sept., 1855,
