X GARRICK, ESQ., DEAR SIR,—We the undersigned electors of the city of Christchurch, request tbat you will allow yourself to be put in nomination for a seat in the Provincial Council for this city at the ensuing election, believing that, although you have not long resided among us, yet your stake in the province, and an intimate knowledge of colonial politics, eminently fit you for a seat as one of our representatives. W. Wilson, R. Symington, And 130 other electors. To William Wilson, Esq., and the gentlemen signing the requisition. Gentlemen,—l beg to thank you for the expression of your confidence in requesting me to represent you for the city of Christchurch at the approaching election of members for the Provincial Council; and in placing my services at your disposal, promise that if elected, I will use my best efforts in support of every measure calculated to promote the interests of the city and of the province in general. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, F. J. GARRICK. Christchurch, February 10,1866. 636 TO THE ELECTORS 0» THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. GENfLEMEN,— Ibegto announce that it is my intention to present myself at the ensuing election as a candidate to reprtsent you in the Provincial Council. I think that experience has shewn us that it should be the earnest endeavour of your representatives to confine the ordinary expenditure within the limits of the ordinary revenue, and to expend the land revenue in works which add to the material resources of the country, by increasing its productive power. I think that it is of the utmost importance to promote vigoronsly the proposed system of railroads, in order to open up fresh land for sale and occupation, and thus, not only prevent the otherwise inevitable diminution of the land revenue, but provide an additional field for capital and labour. So important do I think a steady prosecution of these works, that if the money for them cannot be procured in any other way, I should advocate a sale of the debentures at a somewhat lower rate than that at which they have been yet disposed of, as I am convinced that the benefits that will accrue from opening up the country would well repay a slight sacrifice. If great public works are to be carried out, and the country is to be peopled, a certain amount of immigration seems almost a necessity. The power of thus affecting the labour market is one of the most important with which your representatives arc entrusted, and j. t-_ ~:~*A *«.{tV. flirt iifmAof naiif/inn

must be exercised with trie utmost caunon To exercise it so as to throw people out of employment, or to cause a fluctuation in the rate of wages, would be to my mind impolitic and cruel. I should for many reasons oppose any material alteration in the Land Regulations. In the course of years they may require revision, but I cannot see any present necessity for change. I trust that this short exposition of my sentiments will meet with your approval. Should you do me the honour to return me, I shall endeavour to give to every measure that may be brought forward, a careful and honest consideration. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSHUA STRANGE WILLIAMS. Christchurch, Feb. 7, 1866. 261 END OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Building Materials.
