Graham, Pitt and Bennett I HAVE RECEIVED DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURERS, And ave now Displaying in the ShowRoom— A CHOICE LOT OF THE Latest -\T o v e l t i e s A TEST OVELTIES in LADIES’ FANCY APRONS CHILDREN’S PINAFORES In Lawn, Cambric, Muslin, and Embroidery. Thompson's Glove-Fitting and Cuirasse CORSETS. Ladies’ Hand Made UNDERCLOTHING, IZOD S Favorite CORSETS, AND OTHER SPECIALTIES TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. GENTLEMEN,— At the request of a large number of my fellow settlers, I have consented to stand for the district. I feel honored by the distinction of being asked to represent the district which I have lived in for seventeen years, and have seen so improved by settlement as to be one of the best in the colony. I need hardly say that if returned I shall do my utmost for the electorate. While feeling that I should be greatly honored by being returned, I yet consider that Electors are under an obligation to a Member, if he does his duty, for the time, trouble, and expense he is cut to on their behalf.

I regret, that I cannot spare time at this busy season of tbe year to canvass, nor am I so wealthy as to be able to spend money over the election.

I will at the larger centres of population address tbe Electors and give such information as to my political opinions as may be necessary, which, combined with a know, ledge of me that a great many of my fellow, settlers have, should be amply sufficient to satisfy Electors in voting, I should, if returned, expect to exercise entire independence in my actions in Parliament, using my judgment to vote as I think right and best suited for the constituency. I am a believer Ip the present Government, with Sir Hurry Atkinson as Premier, though I should not be a blind supporter, I think the late addition to the Ministry and the new distribution of seats likely to strengthen the present Government) and I consider their steady conduct In tbe uffairs of the country, particularly with regard to retrenchment, has materially resuscitated the credit of the colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowing. This country, I believe, is now recovering from the long depression, and only wants a continuation of the present careful management, and rest from experimental politics, to make great progress, not perhaps by leaps and bounds as formerly, but surely, steadily, and on a firmer and more lasting basis, I should vote for reduction in taxation directly it is possible, I believe in every facility being given for men of small meana to acquire land, and that land for such purposes should be opened for selection wherever suitable.

In Native land matters, after considerable experience, I believe in absolute ftps trade, removing all possible restrictions. I am a strong advocate of free education, but consider thot under present circumstances the cost is greater than we can afford. From my long residence here, I know the district intimately, and our wants and interests arg identical,

I fear that I am wanting in powers of oratory to do full justica to the constituency in Parliament, but whatever ability I may possess I should use it to the utmost of my power for the better government of the country and the benefit of the district.
