TO THE ELECTORS THE GOLDFIELDS. I THANK you heartily for returning me without opposition to represent you in the Assembly. I am known to a great many of you personally, and have always much interested myself in public matters relating to the Goldfields. It is exceedingly gratifying to me, therefore, to receive this mark of your confidence, and it will be my endeavor to deserve it. My political opinions are known to you, still, if I can manage it, I will take an opportunity of visiting you personally before the Assembly meets, or, if not able to do so, will address you at length on the subject of my political views. I beg you will believe it is out of no disrespect to you that I have not already visited you, and that I am anxious to do so. I am, <kc, JULIUS VOGEL.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE GOLDFIELDS BOROUGHS. Gentlemen, HAVING arrived at the Dunstan on a tour through the Goldficlils to solicit your suffrages at the ensuing Election, I ' beg to place before you my views on the leading questions of the day. I am an advocate for Separation from the Northern Island—financial and legislative—and for ever freeing the Middle Island from any farther liability in Native affaire, and thus to secure for the Province of Otago the control over and benefit of her own revenues, subject to her share of the existing liabilities of the colony, and her equitable contribution to the current expenses of the General Government. I am in favor of extending to the country ' districts local legislative and administrative powers. I believe that the diggers are the heaviest taxed section of the community, and receive less than their due share of the expenditure. I will therefore strongly advocate the reduction of the gold duty. I will support the claims of Otago to be made the port of departxire on the home- ' ward route for the Panama steam service, ' and for continuing a subsidy to a line of : steamers between Port Chalmers and Melbourne. ' I am in favor of carrying out n their integrity the regulations for placing the mining population upon the agricultural lands of the province, and for giving such areas as may be required. I will use my best endeavors to procure the immediate repeal of the 28th section of the Goldfields Amendment Act, 1865. The roads of this province do not come within the purview of the General Assembly, and it will therefore be unnecessary for a candidate for the House of Representatives to say anything about them until provincialism is done away entirely and one government for the Middle Island instituted, The institution of local boards will, however, give the inhabitants ample powers to make roads and support the trunk lines constructed by this Government. I will narrowiy scrutinize the new tariff with a view to exclude from fiscal dues machinery imported for the development of our quartz reefs and other mining properties. I have already expounded my political opinions to seveial goldfields electors, and : hope yet to accomplish the round of the i goldfields towns, when I shall at greater . length dilate upon these and kindeed topics which it is not possible to include within the limits of a printed address. I am, &&, D. F. MAIN. Clyde, Feb. 23, 1866.
