GENTLEMEN.— Tlie 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. I do not, however, anticipate such an occurrence, but in the event of such a contingency arising, I would not hesitate to resign my seat in tirce 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 ha7e an opportunity of meeting you in public. Meantime remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, A. HAIIGREAVES. London street, 1 March, 1866. 6G e

GENTLEMEN, -At the request of several influential fellow-townsmen I am persuaded to offer myself a candidate as one of your members for the Provincial Council, the elections for which will shortly take place. Having hitherto kept apart from politics, I have no particular scheme that may have been laid before the public which I can advise you as to my adherence, but can only assure you that, in the event of my being elected as one of the members to represent your interests, I will endeavour to support all measures that may calculate to be most beueficial to the province generally and Lyttelton in particular, And remain, Your obedient servant, BEVERLY BUCHANAN. Lyttelton, March 22,1866. c 60 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PORT VICTORIA DISTRICT. Pi ENTLEMEN,—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 myself 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 a reduction in the public expenditure in almost all its branches; I think that no great public works ihould be 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 n# 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, A. HORIvBROOK.
