Electoral. TO IHE EIECTOIIS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. Gentlemen,—ln pursuance of the announcement made by me when cousenting to become a Candidate for the office of the Superintendent of th 9 Province of Auckland that I would take an early opportunity of laving ray views before you, I have now the honor to* state that for some years past I have looked upon the Provincial Government as costing more money than it was worth, and this view I have repeatedly expressed to some members of the Provincial Council without being shown by any of them any reason to cause me to alter or even modify my belief. Sly opinions as to the desirability of getting rid of the Provincial Government of Auckland have lately been strengthened, as X feel perfectly satisfied that the good derived from its operations are not at all commsnsu* rate with its costs, and as I am quite convinced that nearly all the work done by the Provincial Government, could be done better, more economically, and with greater satisfaction to the ratepayers through the instrumentality of local boards and local institutions, than bv a Superintendent resident in Auckland. In addition to the expense that would, in my opinion, be saved to the country by the work of the Provincial Council being done by local road asd other boards, I believe that these boards would work more harmoniously with the Government thfcn the Provincial Government has hitherto done; and as opening up the country is the undertaking of greatest importance to the colony, the best method of getting the work done should most certainly, in my opinion, be adopted without loss of time. And as regards the goldfields I entertain no aoubt that the people on these fields could manage their affairs without the intervention of a Superintendent not resident in their neighbourhood, and tha} their local representatives could deal better witi the Supreme Government of the Colony than a Provincial Government. . . With reference to the desirability of having the railways pushed on quickly, 0 f course I entirely concur, and with regard to fostering the establishment of native industries, I presume I need only refer you to my actions during the last few years. With regard to the present Government, I believe it to be the most able Goverment that New Zealand ever had. and I fullv expect that if the Government receives from the forthcoming General Assembly that support to which I consider them entitled, the native difficulty and all other obstacles to the government of the colony will disappear. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. S. MACFARLANE. Auckland, June 5,15T3. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRTOr OF THE BAY OF ISLANDS, MANGONUI, AND "NVANGAROA. Gentlemen,—l have the honor to offer myself as a Candidate for Election to the seat in the General Assembly vacated by Mr. McLeod. I have resided in New Zealand for about thirty years, and may be known to many of your community; but as I have nwer occupied any political or public office, you mry desire to know the grounds upon which I ask your suuport. Allow me then to state that I ask your votes in belief that you wid consider that my lengthened experience in business matters, coupled with my know- , ledge of local concerns, will unable me to form a correct judgment of what measures I should support in the Assembly as being likely to bo beneficial to I your district; and 1 take leave to solicit your attention 1 to the fact that I have ever hcen ready to promote and encourage all those undertakings and industries calculated to advance the prtisppri :y and wealth of the colony ; in short, while many hav* beer, counselline the establishment of new industries, 1 have in a great many instances created most useful and valuable institutions. With regard to the present Government, my-views are favourable to the policy which "hey have inaugurated. I consider the Government essentially one of progress, and I believe that ihc preat schemes of public works and immigration are of incalculable value to the whole colony, as being the best means for promoting settlement of population, and thereby securing peace. But though Iso highly appreciate the value of the schemes referred to, I do not assert that in the carrying out of the same, serious mistakes have not already been made, many of which would possibly have been avoided had the Goverrment received more cordial support and assistance from the Assembly, as I consider that much valuable time was lost, and* the energies of the Government distracted or paralysed by opposition, which had the effect of impeding and delaying the business of the country. One of the many Public Works so delayed being the Railway from Kawakawa Coal-mines to deep water. I trust you will pardon me for asking you to keep in view, when deciding for which candidate you will record your votes, that any member sent to the Assembly who is likely to be antagonistic to the present Government cr favourable to the Opposition, will, in roy opinion, most seriously injure your district and the country generally. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. S. MACFA3LANE.
