charge of the trusi committed to me, to win your future confidence and approval. tl have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, John Olliviub. ji_ Morton Farm, Lower Lincoln Road. To the Electors of the Christchurch Country District. Genti.emkn,-— ABOUT five months have now elapsed since 1 first addressed you soliciting your votes for thcseal rendered vacant in the General assembly by the resignation of the Honorable James Stuart Worilcy. His Excellency tha Governor has, however, since then dissolved that body. I would therefore renew my address by soliciting your suffrages for a scat in the General Assembly. In my former address I stated lhat at a future opportunity 1 hoped to give you every satisfactory assurance. I have accordingly met you by appointment at different places in the District upon five various occasions, and have availed imself of those opportunities of fully explaining to you my views and sentiments upon tbe several political questions coming within the legislative action of the General Assembly. T^**is therefore quite unnecessary for me again to enter into and enlarge upon those subjects. I would, however, take this opportunity of informing such of the electors as I hare not hitherto personally waited upon, that it is my intention to do so, if possible, before the day of election. Neither can I permit this opportunity to pass without informing such of the electors as have already done me the honor to pledge themselves to support me, that my return is certain if they fail not to be at the poll early on Thursday, the 20th day of December. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, DINGLEY ASKHAM BItITTIN. TO JOHN HALL, Esq., j.p., m.p.c.

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