| The attention which I have given to my duties, as one of your representatives in the Provincial Council, has afforded you such an outline of my political principles, that it is unnecessary for me to address you at any length upon the subject. The present position of colonial affairs is.oue of great consequence to the Provinces, aud,!.as questions of serious importance will doubtless be immediately brought under the notice of the Assembly, it is essential that your election should fall upon those who possess active business habits and practical experience. Should I have the honor to he elected, I shall be as anxious as ever to promote and watch over your interests. The most prominent questions which are now agitating the public mind, a.c those which have reference to the adjustment of the Provincial Revenues ; the removal of the seat of Government from Auckland to a more convenient and. more central spot; the delegation to the Provinces of the management of their own Waste Lands; the establishment of Provincial Courts of Justice, &c, &c, to these, and indeed to all other topics which concern tbe welfare of the. Province, I shall devote my earnest attention,' and I shall study, by a firm adherence to public principle and by a faithful and independent discharge of the (rust committed to me, to win your future confidence and approval. il have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, John Ollivier.

Should you kindly accede to tbis request we assure you of our individual exertions to secure your return. (Signed) Henry Sewell. and 35 other electors.
