Gentlemen—Numerous electoi'3 having oppressed their wish that I should become a Candidate for the seat in the House of Representatives vacated by Mr. Stafford, I am induced to placa mjself afc your disposal, and therefore at once proceed briefly to slat'1 my opinions on £hn most important questions at present before the Colony. Depression of trade and a falling revenue imperatively demand that vigorous economy should be pursued in every branch of tho Public Service. Simplicity of accounts is one of the most importantmeans to effect this reform ; otherwise establishments are likely to be needlessly increased, and the existence of abuses is concealed. Determined to use my utmost efforts in this direction, I should still, if elected, support all measures requisite to bring the native war to a satisfactory close, which can only be attained when the cannibal murderers have received full punishment for their atrocious crimes. The preservation of New Zealand as one united Colony appears essential to its progress in population and commerce, and all attempts at separation would meet my firmest opposition, under whatever"pretext, or from whatever quarter they might come. Provincial institutions have played an important part in the settlement of the Colony, and I should not be content to soe any course pursued that would tend to do away with them, so long as they can be beneficially maintained. Without forgetting the welfare of tho Colony, I should guard the interests of Nelson with jealous care, and try most strenuously to procure the rejection of every scheme prejudicially affecting its just claims. Having no party bias, nor any object but the public good, my endeavor would be to give an independent support to the policy best calculated to advance the prosperity of the Colony. During the whole session of the Assembly I should be found at my post, my engagements being such as to afford leisure for the full performance of Parliamentary duties. On the day of nomination I shall be prepared to enter more fully on the topics I have now merely glanced at, and also he ready to answer such questions as you may be pleased to put. I have the honor to be, G-entlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH SHEPHAKD. Fernhill, December 1,1868. 732 NELSON REGATTA. CHALLENGE TO ANY YACHT US NEW ZEALAND.
