Copies may be had of Mr. Hughes, bookseller, price sixpence each. Christchurch, April 8, 1862. 1475 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWN OF LYTTELTON. l^\ ENTLEMEN,—The writs haying-arrived \JT for a new election of members for the Provincial Council, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for one of the seats at your disposal. During the coming session of the Council several subjects of importance are likely to be brought forward which I will briefly notice. The great difference of interests between the two islands, has from the first made the subject of a separate government only a question of time, and with the rapid increase of population in the Middle Island, this should be taken in hand at once, as any longer delay will only render more difficult., and complicated the arrangments necessary when separation takes place. Although the revenue is now in a flourishing state, circumstances may suddenly occur to affect it for a time, and the Council cannot be too careful in keeping the expenditure well within our means. The Vote for Education appears to have hitherto been distributed undermerely temporary regulations which should now be definitely settled, having seen the two systems working side by sjde, in Australia, for many reasons I think the National best suited to our wants. Should you elect me, you may rely on my best exertions to promote the interests of Lyttelton and the province generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 1471 GEORGE BUCKLEY. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE AVON DISTRICT. f*\ ENTLEMEN,—The duty of electing your VJT Representatives in the Provincial _ Council will shortly devolve on you and it is my intention to offer my services as one of them. I do not think it now necessary to inform you of my political opinions having already had the honor of being twice elected by you and I trust fulfilling my duties in accordance with your wishes. If you again honor me by being one of your members of the Provincial Council I shall hope by a proper discharge of my duties to merit your approval. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, THOS. S. DUNCAN. Christchurch, April 4,1862. 1450 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF 1 CHRISTCHURCH. f^ ENTLEMEN—I beg to offer myself as one of \JT the candidates for our city at the ensuing election of members for the Provincial Council and to solicit your votes and influence. My whole interests, being bouud up in Christchurch, will insure my support to every measure tending to its well being; at the snme time, if elected, I would always use my best endeavours to forward the welfare of the settlement in general. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 1449 JAMES GEORGE HAWKES.
