TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWN OF LYTTBLTON. ri ENTLEM EN,—The writs having arrived V/T for a new election of members for the Provincial Council, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for one of the scats at your disposal. During the corning 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 he 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 side, 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.
