Election Notices. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE 1 COLERIDGE DISTRICT. Gentlemen, — TT being generally understood that a vacancy will shortly’ occur in the Representation of the District in the General Assembly, by the resignation of Mr Karslake, I have been requested by a number of the electors to again offer myself as a candidate. | If I should have the honour of being your representative I would not be pledged in any way to the present Ministry, but I should give them a general support as long as I found they continued to give a fair share of attention to Southern interests, and more especially to the interest of the Coleridge district, by giving increased facilities for the development of its coal and other minerals. I approve of the peaceful solution of the Native Difficulty, which has already done so much in restoring the confidence of English capitalists in New Zealand, and I look forward with hope to the extension of the direct trade j to America as benefiting all classes of the community. I should, however, watch carefully any proposed alterations of the existing relations between the General and Provincial Governments, and should oppose any change in the provincial control of the Waste Lands. I shall have great pleasure in meeting the Electors at such times and places as may bo most convenient, to give any explanations that may be required as to my opinions on Education, Public Works, Immigration, or any other subject likely to engage the attention of the representatives at the approaching meeting of the General Assembly. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE HART. Winchmore, Ashburton, April 19,1872. 1231 TO THE ELECTORS OP THE COLERIDGE DISTR CT. Gentlemen, — OUR present member Mr Karslake is so much attached to his seat that he has taken it with him to England, leaving a contingent resignation with Mr Anson, to be used only “ should the electors become clamorous,” or should the General Assembly object to have the district unrepresented for a session. In the event of a vacancy, I shall offer myself as a Candidate, and should you elect me as your Representative, I shall be prepared to give a hearty support to the EoxVogel Government, believing the policy initiated by them to be the only one likely to continue to raise the country from its extreme depression, and to ensure for the future, permanent prosperity. I approve of the conciliatory measures used by the Government toward the Natives, believing them to be preferable to “ conquering a peace.” I would aid, as far as practicable, in encouraging direct communication with America, as being likely to prove serviceable to both countries. I should carefully consider the postal services for the colony, and support any modifications in existing arrangements which would lead to the cO-operation of adjoining colonies without materially lessening the advantages enjoyed by New Zealand. Any proposals for selling the Waste Lands on deferred payments—consistent with existing interests —I would heartily support. Should measures be introduced likely to disturb the present relations between the Provincial and General Governments, with a view of increasing the efficiency of the former, they would receive my careful consideration ; but lam opposed to organic changes, in any form, of Constitutional Government. I should support a National system of Education, and an equitable Licensing Bill. I take it for granted the Government will shortly commence the railways to (he Malvern Hills, and I should use every effort to hasten their construction. As soon as a vacancy is declared I shall take every opportunity of addressing the Electors in all parts of the District. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN JEBSON.
