TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. aENTLEMEN, —Unwilling as I should have been to ask any constituency to elect me as their representative in the General Assembly, I readily accede to your request to allow myself to be nominated as a candidate for your suffrages at the coming election.

I can well believe that at the present time a heavy responsibility rests upon all members of the Assembly, and I am sufficiently aware that so grave a crisis needs the presence in the Assembly of able and experienced men. I can lay no claim to be regarded as the one or the other, but I ask for your confidence nevertheless with an anxious desire to strengthen the hands of those engaged in the great work of securing to the North Island a speedy and permanent settlement of that vexed question—"the Maori difficulty." It is possible I may not have an opportunity of waiting upon you before the day of nomination;, on that occasion however I shall be ready to meet you. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ggg2 ALFRED COX. TO THE ELECTORS OF ELLESMERE DISTRICT. ENTLEMEN,—In the present condition of the \JT colony it is desirable that those who attend the General Assembly should be able confidently to represent the opinions of their constituents. Recent events lead me to believe that had you the opportunity of re-electing a representative, your choice would fall on some one who would advocate very different views from those which I shall possibly express. It is, therefore, my intention to resign my seat in the Assembly unless it be your very distinctly expressed and unanimous wish that I should retain it. I shall be greatly obliged if you will meet me in the Town Hall, at Lyttelton, on MONDAY EVENING, the 7th September, at seven o clock, to receive my resignation, after hearing my views on the state of the colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JAMES EDWARD FITZGERALD. Christchurch, August 28, 1863. 3947 TO THE ELECTORS OF AKAROA. GENTLEMEN,— A vacancy having occurred by the resignation of Mr. A. E. White, I have the honor of soliciting your support with a view to representing your district in the House of Representatives. , ~, , , . ~ Though a stranger to you, and hitherto untried in politics, I have the less hesitation in asking for your suffrages, as I have both the leisure to attend to, and the inclination to interest myself in, the momentous questions which are now agitating the colony. _ Without at present entering into details, 1 wish It to be clearly understood that I shall strongly advocate the vigorous prosecution of the war with a view to its speedy termination. Trusting to be with you in a few days, I remain, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, LANCELOT WALKER.
