sgaa»c_«__a__B_Bai » —— mmi ____—— Notices. TO THE ELECTORS OF CITY WEST. f^ENTLEMB^ZT beg to inform V-A you that lam a Candidate for your suffrages, and my principal reason for being so is owing to the action taken by the other five candidates in employing paid agents to secure signatures in order to have them selves alone—not only individually, but collectively returned. Admit they are chosen by a majority of live, who is to represent the minority unless the elec tion is contested? Allow Provincial Institutions are on the decay (and I trust soon to be supplanted by Local Boards, having only a paid secretary and engineer). Grant this; but are the Electors of City vYest to give a block vote to those five on the ticket who do not deign to condescend to call a meeting and give expression to their views on the questions of the day. Then, if so, I say if they vote for those men let every right, honest-minded man unite with me in saying perish at once Provincial Institutions. Electors of City West, no man has a right to seek your vote unless he gives you an honest expression of what he intends to advocate. Now, hear mine. Let rg first unite in saving this country from being sunk deeper m debt. Let useless oflicia's be shewn the dor r, and earn their living as God and Nature intended— by the sweat of their brow. Next, let us advance and promote education by all means in our power ; and understand by this I mean a good, sound, national sytsem of Secular education, and in entertaining this view I may lose many a vote. But in giving my opinion thus I speak from known and practical ex perience. I received my elementary education in tho National Schools of Ireland, established by the Earl of Derby, and my best and loving schoolmates were those of different creeds ; and now, in my mati re years, I can honestly say that my best friends are also those of different denominations. Say in a locality where 60 or SO scholars could be found professing five or six different creeds, it is plain they cannot have a school to Buit each denomination, and I should think it is equally as plain if they cannot have live or six schools that they mu.t have one, and that it must be conducted on tho Secular system ; if not, sec the re sult. The master will have at certain hours to call up all Protestants ("Come to your lessons"), then all Catholics, next all Presbyterians, and so on to the last two scholars, who happen to bo Jews. Enforce this system, and you at once throw into that school the apple of discord, for each party will tell the other they have no chance of goinn: to Heaven and the end will be that they cannot be kept from fighting ai.d killing one another. Now I think every man who intends to make this place his home should use every effort in his power to stamp and crush out every thing that would tend to create religious strife and ill-feeling amid the rising generation of New Zealand. On tha Permissive Bill question I may state briefly that I am not in favour of any well-conducted house being closed up, and thereby increase tho trade of the adjoining hotel. _ I shall willingly aid and assist any movement that will have for its object the prevention of drink being landed on our shores. Let none be allowed to importit but chemists, and a heavy fineinflicted if sold except on a doctor's prescription ; to effect a enre in any disease the root must be grappled with. Bring pressure to bear on the Government of the day to pass a Bill of this kind, and it will be no longer in their power to increase their own salaries. I have now honestly stated my views If. they m,et with your approval elect me as your member. But if, on the contrary, you reject me for giving you the honest ex pression of my sentiments, in that case I shall consider it to be a greater honor to be at the bottom than at the top of the poll. There are no loaves and fishes attached to it. On that account I cannot afford to employ any paid agents ; nor yet on principle will I bail up any man for his vote . and if returned I cannot afford to give one minute of my time till after 6 p.m. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully W. KIRBY. ONEHUNGA ELECTION. MR JOHN LUND ON will address the Electors of Onehunga on SATURDAY, 22nd inst., at the Onehunga Institute, at 8 p.m. jgUEPLUS STOCK ON SALE. s. d.
