BROTHER ELECTORS,—The circumstance of a new election for the Provincial Council under the present Constitution having been called for by the last elected Superintendent, aa well aa the Council itself, in order to afford you an opportunity of expressing your opinions of the conduct of your former representative* in their resistance to encroachment on the rights and privileges of the people by the lato Superintendent, makes it now proper for every one who has not received from you any previous disapprobation, to remain at his post in the time of trial and difficulty, and to leave in your hands the continuance of his services should you choose to ro-accopt the same. Believing, as I do, that under all circumstances you desire earnestly to follow out the principles of our Constitution in claiming and exercising the integrity of local self-government, I cannot, without appearing voluntarily to desert the principles which I have hitherto advocated, refrain from an early announcement that those principles remain more confirmed in me by the proceedings on the part of the local government to which we have lately been subject. And my intention of again striving for their attainment should you choose again to place me in the position of your re presen tali vo in the Provincial Council. Your obedient servant, Wm. Powditch.

GENTLEMEN,— Th* Secretary of State has given authority to the Ganersl Assembly to introduce organic changes, of the most extensive character, into the Constitution and administration of the Gorernment of New Zealand.

The present circumstances of Auckland are such as to require the utmost vigilance of every individual who has ill welfare at heart. Upon the public spirit which the people of Auckland may now display, will it entirely depend, whether tli» Province of Auckland is to be for a time subordinated to the Settlements of the South, or at once to have the power of regulating its own affairs, and expending its own revenues, without the interference of strangers who have no interests in common with those of its inhabitants, but many interests which may be served by the sacrifice of theirs. Under these circumstances, ! beg to offer myself as your representative in the House of Representatives, as well as in the Provincial Council, l>elieving it to bo certain that the exe ciae of such powers as are now entrusted to the General AssemMv will be preceded by a dissolution, ai d a now election.
