TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW PLYMOUTH. /GENTLEMEN,— The first act which vT you are called upon to perform under the New Constitution is the election of a Superintendent. The limits of a brief adlress will not permit a detxil of the duties to be imposed upon that officer ; but it may be softly asserted lhat they will he varied, important, difficult to rxicnte with entire satisfaction to the public, and suffii it»nt to occupy all the lime ami attention of the person who v»'nt'>re>.to undertake them. I am, nevertheless, prnpnred to offer you my i>ervices as Superintendent. Though I may be deficient in ability, I possess the needed industry nnd rcs>iluiion for the ofhVe ; and should you elect me, will j devote myself entirely to the work of pivinsr energy and effect to those Hepresentitive Institution* which ate the sole guarantee of good government. I hare the honour to be, Gentlemen, .Your most obedient servant, J. T. "WICKSTEED. Omnta, December 0, 1852. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS « OF IPJIIW PLY[Ml®iy)7[K] a GENTLEMEN,— Since the date of my Address to you as a Candidate for the office of Superintendent, I have endeavoured to ascertain my chance o( success at the Election. Opposed by the Government P'.rty, and not patronised by the Constitutional Association, I have relied for support on the independent and unfettered portion of the Electoral Body. I have also declined offers from my Friends to nominate can passing committees on my behalf ; not deeming it right to avail myself of even that usual mode of influencing the constituency. Nevertheless, and under these seeming disadvantages, I have received so many distinct promise? of votes, and have reason to expect so much additional support from persons who decline as yet to pledge themselves to any candidate, that I can conscientiously declare my belief in the final Mictess of my efforts to become your chief Rf p esentative under the New 'Constitution. , I have the honour to be, Gentleman, Your must obedient .Servant, J. T. WICKSTEED. Onuta, January 21, 1853,
