Election Notice. THE SUPERINTENDENCY. TO THE ELECTORS OF WELLINGTON. i f^i ExN'TLEMEN — At the request of a mimev3T rous bJdy of Electors, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages. Having ha<l nearly forty (40) years Colonial experience, the last twenty (20) of which have been of a political character ; but since .the establishment of Provincialism I have seen 'nothing but a retrogado movement, false hopes and bitter disappointments. I therefore feel sure that Provincial Institutions have but n limited existence — " As we have sown, so wo must reap." However, I hope it is not too late to mend. I will try my best, if elected, by first reducing tho Superintendent's, salary to £500 per annum ; also tho others so far as will be consistent with tho public weal * I shall endeavor to work in unison with the General Government. I shall encourage settlement by every mean 9 in my power. Ist, by disposing of land on deferred payments; 2nd, granting ensy equitable leases;" and 3rd, by exchanging land for labor expended on roads, &c, &0. I shall give encouragement to flax companies, and small grunts of land where water power can bo had to woollen manufactories, and also to potters where suitable clay can be obtained. I am inclined to assist tho immigration of artizans of every cljiss who nro likely to develop tlio resources of our Province by manufactories, &c. The Railway, Patent Slip, (or Dry Dock), schemes shall receive my cordinl support. I am for extension and invigoration of the trade of the Province, which may be calculated to widen the means of production, thus endeavoring to replace the loss occasioned by previous errors in administration. I shall be guided in all mutters by the Provincial Council. In conclusion, I bog; to sny I will do my best with an equal and impartial hand, and my past life "will be the surest gxiarantee.
