SIR, — We the undersigned Voteis in the •Noithern Division lespectfully request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination as a Candidate for a seat in the forthcoming Provincial Council. We feel that you are welljqualified from your long residence in the colony, and from the peisonal interest, as a landholder, you have in this Division, to represent its important interests in the Council.

Matthew Laurie,

To Thomas S. Forsaith, Esq.

Sir, — On behalf of the Members of your Committee, I am requested to say, that having had under our consideration a requisition presented to you from the Electors of the Northern Division, we strongly recommend you to* accept the invitation. - Our single object was to see a man whom we deemed so fit, occupying a seat in the Council, and as this object can, apparently, be gained without prolonging a contest in the city of Auckland, we think it a preferable course. At the same time, if you prefer a seat for the city, we have evei y prospect of success, and will not relax our exeitions to ensure your return I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Arch. Clark,

Chahman of Committee. Auckland, July 8.

To Archibald Clark, Esq. , Mayor.

Sir, — Having full confidence in the judgment of the Gentlemen whom you represent, I beg leave to adopt their recommendation, and at the same time to tender my best thanks to yourself, my Committee, and my other friends for the energetic and efficient manner in which they have supported me. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, Thomas S. Forsaith. Queen-street, July Bth, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION.

ri ENTLEMEN,— Having submitted your \-A request to the Committee who were undertaking my election for the City, I have, by their advice, decided upon accepting the invitation with which you have honoured me. In doing so, I have been partly influenced by the consideration that most, of my time in New Zealand has been spent in the Northern Division, and that I have still large interests at stake in that district, and also by the fact that many of the gentlemen signing the City requisition, are equally interested with you in my return, as electors of your Division. Gentlemen, in offering myself as a candidate to represent you in the forthcoming Provincial Council, I can only repeat what I have already said — that if elected I shall go into the Council with but one object — to repay your confidence by doing my duty independently and conscientiously. I disclaim all party feelings and prejudices, and will to the best of my ability, promote the interests of the Piovince generally, by supporting every measure calculated to advance the commercial, agricultural, social, and moral welfare of the community. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Thomas S. Forsaith. Queen-street. July Bth, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION.

MANY of the friends of Mr. Paton having 1 reason to believe that that Gentleman will immediately announce himself as a Candidate to represent the Northern Division, request that the Electors will not prematurely pledge themselves.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION. fi ENTLEMEN,— It is my intention to VX offer myself as a Tandidato at the ensuing Election for a seat in the first Provincial Touncil. Should you consider that I am woithy of your choice, I can only assure you that I will do my utmost to protect your interest, as well as that of the entire Province of New Ulster. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, James Macky. Auckland, sth July, 1852,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION.

/^i ENTLEMEN,— In reply to numerous \-A solicitations fiom respectable voters, I beg to intimate my intention of offering myself as a Candidate at the ensuing election. Having full confidence in the judgment of my fellow constituents, that they will leturn none but pioper men* to represent them in Council, I do not consider it necessary to canvass for votes, resting satisfied if I am not returned, a more efficient person will be selected. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Joslph Newman. Remuera, 7th July, 1852.
