Your obedient servant, William C. Daldy. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. /“N ENTLEMEN, — Having been induced, VJJ by the urgent request of many of the Electors who are deeply interested in the welfare of this Province, who have known me many years, and whose opinions I respect, to offer myself as a Candidate for the House of Representatives and the Provincial Conn* cil ; knowing, if chosen, that I am not the member of a section, but one of the representatives of the whole, I now address myself to you. In offering myself I have dispensed with the .form of"a Requisition, and do not intend to canvass, because 1 believe both are injurious, and lend to promote and foster party feelings of which all agive wo have had to much ; it also to ccitain extent lands those who sign requisitions, and if a better man, in their estimation, offers, prevents tiie free exercise of their privilege of voting. To the old Electors 1 have only to say, you know me, and can well judge for yourselves ; those recently arrived I unhesitatingly refer to those who have known me from the.foundation of the colony ; and all I ask is to choose those men whom they believe can and will serve their country best. Should you honour me by placing me in either situation I can only promise that 1 will do my duty fearlessly, ever having one end view—the good of (his our adopted country. Your obedient servant, William C. Daddy TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION. /7LENTLEMEN, —Acting in obedience to a sense of duty, and on the Bug- ! gebtipn ,of a number of yourselves, 1 now offer myself as a Candidate to represent your interests in the General Assembly. . 1 have the honor to he, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Thomas Auckland; 241h Sept., 1805.
