Gentlemen, THE time having arrived when you will shortly be called on to exercise your Electoral rights under the Constitution conferred upon you by the Crown and British Parliament, I beg again to announce my intention of offering myself as a Candidate for the honour of being one of your Representatives in the General Assembly of New Zealand. I do not think it necessary here to enter into any lengthened exposition of my policy and principles. Briefly, I may say, my policy will be to advance by every legitimate means the prosperity and well-being of the Colony in general and of this Province in particular, and my principles, the fearless and independent support of all such measures as I may think most likely to conduce to those ends. Should you do me the honour to elect me, I can venture to assure you of my entire devotion to your interests, with which my own have been from the first foundation of this Settlement, and still are, identified, and that I will, to the best of my ability, endeavour faithfully to discharge the duties of your representative in the Parliament of New Zealand. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, William Gtjise Bhutan. Christchurch, June 8, 1853.
