WM. HOLMES, For the Commissioner of Crown Ln TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVES OF WELLINGTON. GENTLEMEN,— At the request of a consb able number of the electors of the I vince, I have been induced to come forward i candidate for the Superintendency. Having many years past advocated in the Provin Council a line of policy opposed to that of Government, my views are probably knowi most of you ; some of you may not have that formation, and although my views are not alte: yet it may be advisable for vie to state for information of those who liave not hitherto ta an interest in politics, but who will, as I hope so now, those points of difference between policy of those with whom I have always ac and that of the present Government ; first, v reference to the licensing of tbe public land hold the same opinions now as Mr. Hunter pressed in the session of 1858, that the sys ought to be altered so as not to prevent settlement of your lands by freeholders, and giving a fair tenure to the occupiers of re pastoral lands, to obtain from them a fair i for the same. Next, I agree with the opin: expressed by Mr. Stokes in that session, that auditors of the Provincial accounts should be dependent of the Executive Government, beea as it is at present, tlie auditors are mere servfl of the Government whose accounts theyß called upon to pass. g I consider that tbe present regulaw under which the lands in this Province lire ■ are unfair to purchasers, and injurious tofl public interest. I should like to have all lB surveyed before they were put up for aauß should like the sales to be managed by an JS land board, as at Canterbury ; and I shouldß that all lands put up at auction at 10s. shouffl bidable for by all persons who choose to bidjfl not alone by those who put up the land andffl 1 entirely dissent from the policy offfi Government in sending money away fromH Province to introduce immigrants (except assß immigrants). I believe that policy has entH a large debt on us ; I think it is better to H your land, as an inducement, instead of miH and retain your money for the purpose of mtHj roads, &c. I believe that you would soon eH into this Province such a number of sfcH settlers as would make your population eqifflj any other province in New Zealand, and HB you in a position to be regardless of nativH turbances. If you wero to permit 6o?irfi| settlers to occupy your public lands, say f rcjS to 640 acres, under leases from 10 to 14 BB with a right to purchase, by tbis mean SB would get the full value of your land, and Hj the settler to go on it with the full advant^H bis capital whatever it might be. H_ I have no desire to cut down the salaJH those persons in office who do an eqnivalenlH yet I think we have no right to throw our |H away on ignorance and incompetence. It BB to me that nothing more wants attention tbJH causes why our engineering works, made atHS expense, are generally either inefficient fJB purposes for which they are made, or are somH constructed as to be incapable of even remJßj in existence for a few short months Sffl As to the native question, I believe that fMB benefit of the natives and our own we mustHß the law to be supreme over both races aliflßj have never contemplated enforcing anythinj^B but *equul justice, and until that is obtainflH perhaps I may say enforced, I believe ta Hi peace will be established in this Island. BB If you should elect me as your SuperinteHß I shall endeavor always to act up to theprirffl| and policy I have now and on former occflß expressed. I wish to give you a chancej^B deavor to carry into effect true constituSH principles. I shall, if elected, not dictatejHß domineer over the Council. If it should IJ^B that I could not agree with an Executive <SB from the Council in any important maHH should immediately resign and appeal to JB I am, Gentlemen, _Bf Your obedient Servant,HH C. B. BOKL JB| Wellington, Feb. 18, 1865. _W__\ TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PRpJBB OF WELLINGTON. |jflH GENTLEMEN,— I have, in accordan^Hj the intimation given during theHMB Session, asked His Excellency the GoveHBB B m immediate dissolution of the Frfl^B| I have at the same time midertalffi^ffl jehalf of the General Government, an iunß_H nission to the Australasian Colonies — a _^Hfl n which you, equally with the whole |^SB| ire deeply interested. _____■ Should I : therefore, not be present onjfflHi if nomination for the election of SuperinßßHß 'on will, I hope, acquit me of any waaHaßß ipect to those at whose hands I seek aBHHI if the bigb trust so long confided to mcj3jßjH| My presence on the hustings can S(; a9HH leemod material; for you will nndBBSB udge me, not by my promises for thJß^H| mt by my past administration of tbe BbH_B nent of the Province.
