FITZ GERALD, Esq., Sir, We, the undersigned electors of Lyttelton, fully appreciating the services rendered by you to the cause of good government in the late General Assembly, and feeling deeply the importance, in the present jmicture, of a continuance of those services, beg that you will allow yourself to be again nominated as the representative for this town in the next General Assembly. [Here follow the signatures.] Christchurch, Nov. 6, 1855. Sir, —1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a requisition signed by yourself and ethers of the electors of Lyuelton, requesting me to allow myself again to he put in nomination as the representative for Lyttelton in the next General Assembly. I was, as you are .aware, very unwilling again to liike any part in the public affairs of tlie colony generally ; both for private reasons.aud also because the business of ihe Provincial Government fully engages my time and attention. It has, however, been so strongly urged upon me by many of my friends that I may be of some use in advocating the claims of the Province in the adjustment of those important questions which will come under discussion in the next session of the General Assembly, that I can hardly refuse to comply with your request. I have the more pleasure in doing so, because I see the names of so many electors of different political views attached to the requisition that I may hope my election will not be contested : for I should be exceedingly reluctant during the time I hold the office of Superintendent of the Province again to be placed in a position which would bring me into collision with any portion of the community. If the electors of Lyttelton should do me the high honour of again constituting me their representative, I need not say thai I will do all in my power to promote the interests, both of Lyttelton aud of the Province. It will be impossible for me to canvass the electors personally, but I shall be happy to attend at any. public meeting to explain my views upon any public question. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, J amiss Edward Fitz Gerald. James Spowers, Esq., &.C., &c. To the Elector* of the Town of Christchurch. (iBNTMJMKN, T HAVE the honor to offer myself as a -*- candidate for your suffrages at ihe approaching election of a member to represent your interests in the General Assembly. Should you deem me worthy of your confidence, and elect me lo fill this important post. I pledge myself to faithfully and assiduously discharge its onerous duties, aud to support such measures as may tend lo the further advancement of this Province. I have the honor to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient, servant, John Skagkr Gunjduy. Avobury, Oct. 31,1855.
