My opinions are already pretty widely known, and I shall take an early opportunity of meeting the electors, for the purpose of a lurther interchange of views on the political topics of the day. In the meantime, I may say briefly, that I regard the question of ihe abolition of the present form of Provincial Government as practically settled by the legislation of last session, which 1 rnn convinced no future Par» liaroent will ever repeal. Pressing questions -which still demand attention are :— The further simplification of administration ; increased economy of expenditure ; the extension of local self government, and the settlement of the land These objects I regard as of the highest im-. portance, and if returned, I will feel it my duty to promote them to the utmost of my power. While keeping these and other larger questions of Colonial importance always steadily in view, I need hardly add that it will be my care in the future, as heretofore, to give every attention to matters of more purely local interest, should the constituency again return mo ao tboir represent otivc to tho Asecmbly. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN R. CUTHBERTSON. To the Gentlemen signing the Requisition. TO JAMES MACKINTOSH, ESQ., M.P-C Strafhmorp, Otautau.
