Auckland, July sth, 1852. Gentlemen, For some years I have not taken any active part in Politics, and 1 have, found such a course very conducive to my comfort and convenience. If I consulted alone my own inclination I should continue the same line % of conduct; but as you, gentlemen, who have signed a requisition to me to come forward, are pleased to think favourably of the services I may render, I am unwilling to decline a request, concurred in by many other of my friends, and I therefore accept the invitation with which I have been honoured to become a Candidate for the representation of the City of Auckland. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Fred. Wiiitaker. Archibald Clark, Esq., and the other Gentlemen signing the Requisition.

TO THF ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND.

r* ENTLEMEN,— I announce myself to you VJT as a Candidate for a Seat as one of your Representatives in the Provincial Council of New Ulster. lam induced to take this step at the request of a number of gentlemen who have honouied me with an invitation to allow myself to be put in nomination at the approaching election. The present, I am well aware, is justly looked upon as an eventful period in. the affairs of this Province, and that therefore those who offer themselves may reasonably expect their pretensions to be strictly canvassed. Under such circumstances it is to he regretted that no reference can be made by Candidates to their past services as representatives in the Legislative Council, to guide you in the selection you aie called upon to make. As regaids myself I will only say that as I have lived in Auckland from its foundation, and am peisonally known to at least the great majority of the Electors, you may be enabled to form some estimate as to how far I am likely to justify the choice should you think fit to elect me. If this honour be conferred, you may at least rely on my punctual and conscientious discharge of the various important duties which would devolve upon me as one of your representatives. Should I be a candidate at a future election I trust I may be then enabled by a reference to past conduct, to advance stronger claims upon your votes in my favor. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Fred. Whitaker. Arckland, July sth, 1852.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND,

FELLOW - COLONISTS,— It is my intention to present myself as a Candidate at the forthcoming Election, for a seat in the first Provincial Council.

I have no private designs to serve — I seek no situation lor myself, or for any one belonging to me — my principles are well known — and, should your choice fall upon me, I will, to the best of my capacity, not shrink from perfoitniug faithfully the very onerous duties of so important a trust, even as I have done while discharging the humbler functions of a Bprough Councillor. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedieut Servant, J. O'Neill. Clanaboy, July 2, 1852,
