Relieving, as I do, that under all circumstances you desire earnestly to follow out tho principles of our Constitution, in claiming and exercising the integritv of local self-government, I cannot, without appearing voluntarily to desert the principles whioh I have hitherto advocated, refrain from an early announcement that those principles remain more confirmed in mo by tho proceedings on the part of the local government to which we hayfa lately been subject. And my intention pf again striving for their attainment should you choose again to place me in the position of your representative in the Provincial Council. Your obedient servant, Wm. Powditch. Epsom, Sept. 27th, 1855. r TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BAY OF ISLANDS ELECTORAL DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN, —The Secretary of State has given authority to the fianeral Assembly to introduce organic changes; of the most extensive character, into the Constitution and administration of the Grpremknent of New Zealand. At its next meeting, that body will assume the character of a Constituent Assembly, rather than that of an ordinary Legislature. The present circumstances of Auckland are such as to require the utmost vigilance of every individual who has its welfare at heart. Upon the public spirit which th.e people of Auckland may now display, will \t entirely depend, whether the Province qf Auckland is to be for a time subordinated to the Settlements of the South, or* at once To have the pdjrdr of regulating its own affairs, and expending its own revenues, without the interference of strangers who havd no interests ih common with those of its inhabitants, buf.,manv interests which may be served by the sacrifice of theirs. Under these circumstancps, I beg to offer myself as yoiir representative in the House of Representatives, as well as in the Provincial Council, believing it' to be certain that the exercise of such power?'as are now entrusted to the General Assembly will be preceded by a dissolution, and a new election. I have the hqqpr to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, jARgg Byssy. Auckland, Sept. 10, 1855. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND.
