Election Notices TO THE ELECTORS PORT VICTORIA DISTRICT. rjENTLEMEN.-As a fresh election is about taking place for members of the Provincial Council, and I have had the honour of being one of your Representatives for the last four years, I beg to .offer myßelf for reelection. As the district is a very wide one, and the constituents scattered, it will be next to impossible for me personally to call upon all of you to solicit your votes. As to my policy, I advocate ft reduction in the public expenditure in almost all its branches; I think that no great public works Bhould bo undertaken unless we have the funds in hand, or are able to obtain a loan on favourable terms, so as not to be driven to borrow at a ruinous cost. I also think that no more immigrants should be introduced until we have the requisite funds to import and work to give them, without injuring those already in the colony. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 64 c A. HORM3ROOK. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MANDEVILLE DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN,-In a few days the Provincial Council will be dissolved, and you will then have to elect two members to represent you in the new Council. I have the hononr to announce that I shall offer myself for re-election, and hope to receive the same generous support that you accorded to me four years ago, I shall take an early opportunity of meeting the electors in different parts of the district. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH BESVYICK.

GENTLEMEN.-The time is approaching when you will be called upon to elect four members, to represent .your interests in the Provincial Council of this Province; and I now beg to acquaint you, that I purpose offering myself for re-election for one of the seats at your disposal. It may possibly occur to some of you that the sittings of the General Assembly may clash with those of the Provincial Council, and thus bar my attendance at one. or either of them, Ido not, however, anticipate such an occurrence, but in the event of such a contingency arising, I,would not hesitate to resign my seat in time to enable you to fill up the vacancy. As an old resident of the Port, whose interests are intimately connected with your own in its welfare and advancement, and having already represented you in the Council, I may fairly claim the privilege of seeking your suffrages for a seat on this occasion. ; Should I be honoured by being selected as one of your representatives, I shall endeavour to merit your confidence by doing my best to protect the rights and privileges of the Town and Port.

I hope to hare an opportunity of meeting yon in public. Meantime remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, A. HARGREAVES. London street 1 March, 1866. 66 c TO THE ELECTORS TOWN OF LYTTELTON.
