Election. j THE SUPERINTENDED Y ELECTION. ELECTORS'OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. fJ"FNTLEMT2N,— Tt appears to mo v--h that it Jinn now 1 ocoine desiral'le that Hie. con trol of Auckland Provincial affair* should be trans ferred to the bands of oihurs than those by whom the province has been governed during tt n past. With splendid resources in lard, coal. golrl, iron, and other minerals ; with a climate unsurpassed by any in the woild; and with a sturdy and Industrious population of from (50,000 to' 70,000 people, who pay some £300 000 per annum in Uxes in one shape or another-for pmposes good government, public, works, &c, it is saddening to find that we as a province are not only mailing little or no advance towards pern anent pros perity, but that at many points we are actually retro grading. I attribute this state of things to misgovernment, the ill-judged expenditure of public money and ex-' travagnnpe in the past, which have entailed upon the community grievous burdens in the form of public debts, for which interest smrt sinVjng funds have now to bo provided by oppressive tariff duties and other forms of taxation. f-'o far has this state of Uiincs already gone that at the pres-nt moment the Provincial authorities of Auckland are at their Avits' nnd, and find it exceed ingly difficult and embarrassing to provide adequate means even for such an important object as cduca t'on. This Province is plarcd fit a further disidvantago by reason of the manner ii ins been dralt with i>y I the ft en oral (.overnmont in the expenditure of the large loans which were negotiated cm the credit nf the wholo colony for purposes (if Tmmigrxfinn and Public Works. Although wo in Auckland are chargeable with the re-payment of about one-fourth part of these Joans, nnd althnueh wo contribute in about that proportion towards providing interest and sinking funds thereon, yet owing to want of united action by our Superintendent and Representatives only a very small portion of the borrowed money has been employed for aur benefit. Our Provincial Revenue for the ensuing year will probably be under £50,000, and out of this sum we have to maintain our Police, Gaols. Hospitals, Lunatic Asylums, Hick and Destitute. [Tarbours, &c. which cost some £:',:',,000 per annum. After paying the Provincial salaries and Dppartmentnl expenses on the present sca'e little or nothing will therefore remain for aid to Road Boards, for Bridges, ferries. Tram ways at the Goldficßs, &c, and in view of this state of things I holit-yc it is our first duty to reduce those Provincial salaries and departmental expenses to an amount proportionate lo our altered means. Our next duty is lo require i\t the hards of our re presentatives that thev unite in demanding frcm the Assembly and the Government that justice shall no longer be defied to this province in Ihc matter of the expenditure of the money borrowed upon our credit conjointly with that of Urn rest of tlio c.r.lnny. I desire toboco-i t> Suiieiintf-ndn:t "f tho Province that I may be in n position to gh-c priirtlciil (■ll'cct to the above views, and that them may be porno com lrinod rlfort made to hiing about i\ dHforcnt state f>| tliiiif1! that more vit.lity may be iinvnrled to i.ur in (lu itrlcs, su'-li as Mining. 4cri< ultural imrmits, 'J rade nnd ( (immeri'O, and >Tai!Ufactur.>=. 'f, however, Trm ire content tn :;<■ nn -m rf yore, and rlrct a politici'in nf the »ld Auckland Rciionl, I think y«u will llnd when too late, that ad ditiminl bnrdens>oir.c taxation must speedily be ■ roportpd to. \'ou will also probably find that the old si.vsteni of denominational eiliication will be intrmlncfd into this province, a system s-> 'ifton used as sin i- slmmcnt of favoritism to one party and ol oppression to unolhur; a svstem ro productive (if sectarian joa'ouslos and bickerings that it ljii.i been nbnndoisrd I.y moro iidvanced comnmnitins in favour of a national woukr cduna- Lionul system. Should vcm restore the old rogimc t(i power you will also find that the control nf t.bo Police will tiion bfl transferred to the Provincial authoritiei to be used as it \\-;is befr-ro, for party or political purposes Dnrlng this election contest 1 huve been trented with unfairness by a portion of the Auckland ' >■•■ s, liu'. as many of you aro aware the persons whom th'so papers represent are interested in re introducing nnd continuing the stain of thint;s which has led the lirnvincn into ils present position I'.v she abuse of political powrr and patronage in thn p«st they them sijWta have been un.'ible to piorpor, wliilr- the pro vince lias so languished that it can hardly bo in a worse position, and it now r'sts with yon elector:-, to -:ay by your votes wlicthor yon will entrust your affairs for another period of'four years to the old liamls, or whether you will give ir.e your confidence and';■uppoi-t, Hint I inny with (lie aid of a well chosen Provincial Council be enabled to inaugurate a change towards a bolter and healthier oia. If you d me the honour to elect me I vill apply myself dilfgontly and strenuously to < fl'ret retrenchment in Provincial snhirics and other Departnicntnl expenses to obtain just, co for the Province at the hands of the fionornl CJovernment. nnd to pn vide- pcunant-ntly for ll;o means ncccs-iary to carry out asys'ftn of udncation without resorting to any mcli obnoxious and uiijusst ineasuio as the present ! ducallon Tax i am, OunUoincn, Voursl faithfully, .1.
