THE SUPERINTENDENCY.

ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND

HEAR ME !— You have never taken part in a move momentous election than that of to-mojrow. The candidates have been for some time before you. Yon have had opportunity for seeing their several qualities. You h.ve had time for feelings to cool. You approach the b.Jlot box to-morrow, and you should do it dis passionately. Theie is no doubt the election will lie between Mr Williamson and Mr Lusk. Dargaville's blathering did all very well for a time. He has now got rope enough, and hanged himself. Ido not speak to the ignorant and unreflecting. These swal low his humbug, because they know nothing of what he is talking about, any more than himself. There are people with whom g»und and fury is everything. They mistake noise for s«nse ; and accept a man as able if he is impudent. Davgaville knows nothing whatever about provincial or other politics, and his talk is as silly as a child's. But he has paid agents everywhere, who attempt to make him appear as, en joying popular confidence "With.scarcely an exception, every merchant and business man in Auckland will have none of him, and it is a bad sign when a man's familiars and brother craftsman are all against him. With scarcely an exception, all persons of any note influence or intelligence through out the province entirely repudiate him. But he has had drink flowing freely at all his country meetings, and the rabble, who know no more about politics than Dargaville himself does, applauded him when he said ho would do away with taxation, educate the children for nothing, remove provincialism, and do Fleaven knows what not—things which every one desires, but which require grave deliberation to compass them, instead of ranting balderdnsh. His playfulness in the Parncll buses at night, aiid his escapades in Maori whares in the North show the want of balance in the man whose self conceit alone drives Mm to jump at the first seat instead of wo iking his way up by ordinary step 3, which would have given him ordinary experience. He tried to do the same in the City Council, and his attempt to be Mayor all at once has made him ever since an object of ridicule, and without any influence in the Council. There is no possibility of his being elected, and the pity is that his self-conceit prompted him to come into the field, and so weaken the party that very naturally strives to keep Mr Williamson out. He is entirely burst up at the Thames and in the country ; while in this city alone and among the ignorant and the noisy he has a show of support that will melt away in the ballot box. Be careful then, and don't throw away your votes. Mr Williamson's party will require all the unity that can be effected in order to its defeat. His followers will vote as one man that they may get education, the police, and the money into their fingers, and this ill-advised and ill-starred action of Dargaville's in trying to lead off a small section will give the only chance to Mr Williamson that he could possibly have. One solitary vote, therefore, thrown away on Dargaville is dangerous ; it can do no good, and will be so much loss to the party of Mr Luslc. Electors of Auckland, be true to yourselves and to your interest?. Fathers and mothers !1 on owe to Mr Lusk the only Education Act that has brought good education to your doors. Do not be so senseless as to blame Mr Lusk for the rate. There is no other way of getting education but by a rate. The senseless folly of Dargaville about doing without a rate for elu cation only shows his ignorance of the affairs of the colony and of the province ; and he insults the com mon sense of the people by saying he can do without rates, because he knows that every one likes that. Mr Lusk is not the author of the equal rate. He is op posed to it, and while he has never used one word of claptrap to catch votes, he said from the first, and he still s-ays, that he wanted and still wants, and is de termined to have, the equal rate altered. In Mr Lusk you have a man that has honestly won his right to the Superintendency of the province by many years de voted to the faithful discharge of Provincial woik. both as a mero member of Council and a member of Government; a man who knows what he is talking about when he speaks about Provincial affairs, and consequently does not talk wildly, and make promises which he knows no man could fulfil; a man who feels that Provincialism has had its day, but who 13 not so mad as to threw all things in to inextricable confusion by jerking them up before other locil institutions are prepared to take their place ; and a man who will not say that he will do so merely to please and to catch votes, I suppose no one that honestly wishes well to the country, and not merely to a religious, nat ional and fanat-cal party, but wishes to lc« ep out Mr Williamson and his corrupt followers. But if electors want a man of sense, experience, and knowledge of public affairs, and not a mere conceited pretender, with no qualifica tion but his own cheekiness, they should not imperil the election of Mr Lusk by throwing away a voto on a man who requires but a few weeks more of " runriing" and of disreputable electioneering dodges to leave him without a dozen followers. Electors of Auckland bo ware ! If Williamson is elected through your folly in throwing away votes on Dargaville, you will have four years of corruption and abuse and party tyranDy. In Lusk you have a tried and faithful servant of the province, wh^se conduct of public afiair3 has for so far been equitable, prudent, and without one stain of corruption. Against such a candidate you have on the one hand a public man who has been always the tool of the worst and most dangerous party in the State ; and who showed himself' ready to degrade his Queen into subordination to a foreign priest ; and on the other hand you have a pretender, a charlatan, and a would-be political humbug with nothing to com mend him but brazen impudence, and with, no object but the gratification of his own unlimited vanity and self-conceit.—-1 am, air, An Elector.—LAdyt,]

THE ELECETION OF SUPERIN TENDENT.

Fellow Electors, —The day is at hand when it will be you* prerogative to exercise your franchise. The ballot will enable every man to poll his own vote with out favour, and the olector who does not do so next Thursday will ihow a disregard to the interests of this province in coming events. In the first place it Is admitted that we have a declining revenue so long as wo aro represented in the General Assembly by either Utopian intellect on the one hand, or dereliction of duty on the other ; the claims of Auckland during the last session of the General Aasombly have been neglected. The electors of Auckland do not generally understand that the antipodians unreservedly sold thepatrimony of their claims to the general estatu for a mess of pottage. They did at times, so a3 to protect themselves in the purchase of the best lands of the province, which in most instances are now lying waste because they aro mortgaged, and in some cases heavily mortgaged. They have done it to your dis advantago ; they would again do it when money or credit can be had to enrich themselves. The electors of Auckland must first comprehend that the Southern Provinces of Now Zealand having robbed this pro vince of its interests in the general estate of the colony it requires that thore should be elected a champion to represent this province to obtain our rights, Namely, our fair proportion of the revenue of the colony ; and to get it we must have a representa tive who will brayely demand it. If Mr William son had done his duty in the last General Assembly he would have obtained for this province substantial advantages, more especially in the shape of money, but he has not done so, therefore his election to tha Superintendency is insecure. Luak you will admit has at all times had vanity, and that now he has vexation of spirit. It is admitted that he is a holocaust. I slate that a few nights would havo him hors da combat in the General Assembly. No, fellow electors, believo me we are not going to be sold this time ; we will havo a Demosthenes to advocate us—a man, who like that great orator, will do his duty when he is called upon to do it for tho Interests of this province. I say let cvory man do his duty. To go on as we have been going on—tell me that unless some change for the better is mado we must continue to feed upon pipis and give our bread to the Maories, allow our countrymen to be murdered indiscriminately on land to be purloined by capitalists, and, generally speaking, our houses and gardens to be destroyed, our fences broken down ; and then instead of grape 3 and figs, thorns and furs would spring up, and our province would be deserted. The real truth of the matter is that we must have new and young blood. Why I would soener advocate such a mat as StainesthanLusk ; andKirby, an original character and a clever fellow, would by his poll beat Williamson into hts. By the bye, Stain es I hear is doing a little of the undergo, not altogether his character. Ha pro fesses for Dargaville, but votes t'other way. Beware electors that Staines and Kirby don't make your cards out for you over a glass of grog. Look to yonr own, boys ; X mean those who can't write " Independence." .Dargavillo for over.—Cosmo.— LAdvt ]

THE SUPERINTENDENCY.

Sir,—Some supporters of candidates will do anything to serve their man, even our Deputy has come to print, and what has he said why, I do not know anything about the dodge. Mr Dargaville, wishing to hear what Mr JLusk would say, did not want to be bothered with old Joe. The truth will come out. Mr Dargaville's supporters * told him what they were going to do about ten minutes before he went on the hustings. He I merely told them to mind what they were ? loing. I fail to see any thing serious in the ,'hffair. There's that W.F.M.H. blowing his wipes, and I believe wants to send politics v >ack ten years;, now the Cross introduces Bonfield, who, everybody ought to • ihow, is a thorough Williamsonitc. ISfow if we want to prosper it must be Dargaville or^Lusk. Let us plump for the man that we think will get the majority of the two, lam for .Dargaville. —[Advt. ] -

NOW OR NEVER.

{To the Editor of the Evening Star). Sir, it has now come to this important crisis, namely, that if we vote for Mr Lusk, we- are virtually throwing away our votes and our future liberty.—l am, &c., A CON VKRT TO DaUOAVILLK— [ADVT.]

THE LAST KICK OF A DYING CLIQUE.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sin,-The Herald, over true to its colors, has Cume out this morning in a manner truly prophetic of its end. Williamson is the burden of its song, in order no doubt that he may not prove to be a burden on its pocket. No wonder, then, that Williamson's claims on the people of this province who have been in the habit of reading the Government paper, should have a prominent place in almost every line. I would, if a supporter of Williamson's, say to that gentleman, let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth, &c., for the Herald is unquestionably thy embodiment, and as such has ceased to guide the minds of a free people, because like thyself it has passed its prime. No wonder that the earth shook and the modest moon veiled her face last night while the last dying speech of the Herald on Williamson and its own behalf was being for the last time committed to paper. Let every lover of good government take the gentle but impressive hint and join in giving the Herald a decent burying-place with the rest of its children, where the moon will never again have the chance of insulting the happy family,—l am, &c, Total Eclipse.—[Advt.]

THE SUPPOSED SUICIDE AT THE NORTH SHORE.

INQUEST. -

-THIS DAY.

The inquest on the body of Mary Wild, the woman who was found drowned at the North Shore yesterday, is being held this afternoon at the Flagstaff hotel as we go to press. It appears from enquiries made that the man Davidson with whom she had been keeping company made her acquaintance on the arrival of the Countess of Kintore about 10 months ago, and representing himself as a single man, promised to marry her when the ship re turned to this port. Tho attachment was continued when the Countess arrived in August last. The unfortunate woman was informed some time since that her ad mirer was a married man. Captain Reynolds told some of her friends that he way sending home half of the man's wages to his wife. When taxed with this Davidson said that it was to his :;old woman " (meaning his mother) that the money was went, and steadily denied being married. A short time ago he confes-.ed to having a wife in England. After hearing this the woman became very low spirited, and on one occa sion at least told the woman who was in hor company at the North Shore, that she in tended to drown herself. There is little doubt that the verdict will Ise in accordance with these facts.

GROSS AND MALICIOUS SLANDER UPON MR JOHN WILLIAMSON, The committee on behalf of Mr. Willamson have hoard with great indignation the gross and malicious slander which has just been put into circulation relative to that gentle man. It is currently reported, that Mr. Williamson returned from the Thames this day in a state of intoxication, and that ho was quite incapable of taking care of himself, and had to be conveyed home by a friend. This statement has not the slightest particle of truth in it, and has been invented by his political opponents for the purpose of in juring his interests at the poll to-mor row. Mr. Dargaville and Mr. Williamson retui'ned in the same steamer to Auckland, and therefore the former is fully aware that the reportnow current is an unmitigated false hood, yet Mr Williamson's opponents have not hesitated to spread abroad this most infamous and vile slander. Captain Edwards, the commander of the steamer, has been re ferred to oh the subject, and has given the report a most positive denial, and has also affirmed that Mr Williamson partook of no intoxicating liquors whilst on board his vessel. Electors do not be led away by such false hood and trickery, but continue your con fidence in Mr Williamson, the honest, sober and true friend of the province. issued on "behalf of Mr Williamson's com mittee.—Wai.tei*.
