BROTHER ELECTORS— On Thursday, tbe 28th instant, you will have to return five members to the Provincial Council. I venture to become a Candidate, and now ask your suffrages to place me in that high and important position. If elected, I will endeavour io originate remedial measures to remove the existing stagnation. Land is the source of all wealth, therefore the outlying districts should be opened up to settlement by the formation of roads thereto. Various localities, aud, without exception, a block of land on every navigable river ought to be reserved for a small farm settlement, and as an experiment here, I would be prepared to advocate that an extensive block of available land, (accessible by water or a road to be mado forthwith) should be conveyed to trustees in order that bonajide settlers may obtain a limited portion therein, on a system of deferred payments; and, moreover, that the Executive Government should be authorised to assist by way of loan, equal to one year's rations and seed to a limited extent, ant? that I would support a vote of money to a reasonable amount for the purpose. The expense of conducting the Government must seem to be enormous ; I should like to see it reduoed. And, in conneotion with Responsible Government, I would remove, as far as possible, the desire for office by making the salaries of Responsible Ministers of moderate amount. The harbour of Wellington, by its centrality, should be the resort of whalers and other vessels requiring supplies, and therefore, in my opiuion, all dues should be abolished, and charged upon the Provincial revenues. If you make the harbour attractive to shipping, then it will be absolutely necessary to erect a market place in a central position, for the sale of your produce. I am prepared to submit many other projeots, both financial and social, for the 1 advancement of our adopted land so as ■ to render it attractive to capitalists — a ' home of future comfort and independence for the industrious working olasses, who "\ always receiving a hearty weloome, will I soon become tbe thevv and sinew of our ■ province, — and the source of all power. 1 I shall be most happy to devote a por- ■ tion of my leisure to endeavour to ad--1 vance the interest of the provinoe genef rally, and your district in partioular. My 1 views aud aspirations are — onward, and 1 all measures tending to develop the ma- • terial resources of the province, the increase of its export trade, internal 1 manufactures, the wealth and happiness of its inhabitants, shall receive therein 1 my earnest support. » I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, WM. P. PICKERING. Beaumont, Wellington, 14th Maroh, 1861,
