HPO THE ELECTORS WHO SIGNED THE 1 ABOVE REQUISITION. Gentlemen—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your requisition inviting me to become a candidate for the representation of the Electoral district of 1 Motueka. If I consulted my own interests I should respectfully decline the honor you offer me; but feeling as I do the battle has now to be fought in tit* General Assembly, a sense of public duty compels me to accede to a requisition of so large and influen* tial a body of my tellow-colonists who have expressed their confidence in me, and accordingly I consent to be put in nomination as a candidate. 1 beg to assure you that, in complying with your request, I entertain a deep sense of the importance of the duties which I shall be called upon to discharge; and in the event of my election, you may rely upon my exerting myself to the utmost in opposing political trickery, and promoting your inteiests and those of the colony at large. 1 trust to have an opportunity before the Election to put you in possession of my views of past proceedings in the General. Assembly. I am, Gentlemen, Your obliged servant, CHARLES PARKER. Motueka, December, 1860. 15 TO THE ELECTORS of the district of x COLLINGWOOD. , Gentlemen—Upon my arrival here I learnt that ft Requisition numerously signed had been forwarded to me at Nelson, requesting that I would allow myself to be proposed as a Candidate for the representation of this newly constituted Electoral District in the House of Representatives. I thank you sincerely for this invitation. Having been made aware that a Requisition was in course of signature, 1 at once came over to the District to afford you an opportunity of knowing my views on the various subjects in which you are most interested, as well as on the important questions which are likely to be brought before the General Assembly at its next meeting. It is unnecessary for me to enter again upon these subjects, after having so fully expressed my views, at the meeting which took place here on Monday ilast, and after having had the opportunity of personally visiting so many of you in other parts of the District. Should I now be prevented from seeing some of the Electors whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, I shall endeavor to do so prior to the day of nomination. I will now only.add that should you do me the honor to elect me as your representative, I shall study to «jive such votes as would benefit the Colony, at large, and also tend to deveJope and advance the mineral and agricultural resources of this important district. I remain, Gentlemen, ..' = ,<" Your obedient servant, ',, , A. J. RICHMOND. Collingwocid, 2Gth December, 1860, 21,
