WAITT & CO. Lyttelton, Feb. Ist, 1858. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. ENTLEMEN,—Last week I was invJ~ duced to address you in the ' Canterbury Standard,' and to send round a circular soliciting your votes for a place in the Provincial Council, as your representative, instead of R. J. S. Harvnan, Esq., (resigned). I then stated my reasons for desiring the favor of your support, of which in a few days I gained promises from a considerable number of brother colonists, to whom I return my sincere thanks and beg to draw their attention to the fact, that, having but little confidence in my own abilities, I came forward merely because there was no appearance of a more eligible candidate to defend the principles I put forth. On these grounds you will allow me to retire, and to present to your favorable consideration and support H. J. Tanered, Esq., a gentleman far better known to the whole of the colony than myself, ,of greater experience and abilities, and of the same principles. i I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient ALEXANDER S. JACKSON. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. f^ ENTLEMEN,—A vacancy has oc\T curred in the Representation of your district occasioned by Mr. Harman resigning his seat in the Provincial Council. 1 had been led to believe, on what I considered good authority, that IVIr. Harraau, in consequence of the numerous contracts which he was likely to undertake for the Government, and the consequent numerous resignations of his seat which this would necessitate, had resolved not to offer himself for re-election. Mr. Jackson, the other candidate before you, had told me himself that he had no great desire to enter the Council. I find that I was mistaken as regards ■ Mr. Harman's intentions, and it seems now that that gentleman intends to come forward. I should have felt some reluctance in the present case to enter upon a contest, more particularly as that contest involves opposition to a gentleman of Mr. Harman's acknowledged ability, but many of the electors having pledged themselves to support me I should not be acting fairly by them were I now to retire. I therefore beg to solicit the support of your votes and interest. The time between this and the day of election is now so short that I shall, I fear, not be able to wait upon you all personally, but I will do what I can. I have been more or less connected with the public affairs of this province ever since the inauguration of our present constitution, and therefore, from no particular merit of my own, but as a necessary consequence, I cannot help being more or less familiar with the current of public business. This has appeared to me to be an advantage which would tend to make me of some use as a member of the Provincial Council. But whether, a member of the Council or not, believe me that, in either case, I shall do all in my power to promote the general welfare of the province. I remain, gentlemen. Your most obedient, humble servant. HENRY JOHN TANCRED.
