TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OP AUCKLAND. /""I ENTLEMEN, — Having been induced, by the urgent \JT request of many electors who are deeply interested in the welfare of this Province, who have known me many years, and whose opinions I respect, to offer myself as a Candidate for the House of Representatives and the Provincial Council ; knowing, if chosen, that I am not the member of a section, but one of the Representatives of the whole, I now address myself to you. In offering myself I have dispensed with the form of a Requisition, and do not intend to canvass, because I believe both are injurious, and tend to promote and foster party feelings, of which all agree we have had too much ; it also to a certain extent binds those who sign requisitions, and if a better man, in their estimation, offers, prevents the free exercise of their privilege of voting. To the old Electors I have only to say, you know me, and can well judge for yourselves ; those recently arrived I unhesitatingly refer to those who have known me from, the foundation of the Colony; and all I ask is to choose those men whom they believe can and will serve their country best. Should you honour me by placing me in either situation, I can only promise that I will do my duty fearlessly, ever having one end in view — the good of this our adopted country. Your obedient servant, "WILLIAM C. DALDY.
