Gentlemen, - Finding it impossible to return to New Zealand in time for the ensuing session of Parliament I have this day Resigned my Seat as Representative of your district in the General Assembly, and in thus acquainting ycu of this I would take the opportunity of not only thanking you for the confidence you have si long reposed in me, but also of askiug you to preserve the kindly* feeling which has at all times existed between us I intend c returning to New Zealand shortly, and need scarcely assure you that it will afford me .great pleasure to be again called upon to represent my old and: valued T constituency. 1 I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, , THOS. HENDERSON. San Francisco, . April 27,1874. TO THE ELECTOKS OF THE DISTRICT OF WAITEMATA. Gentlemen,— Consequent upon the retirement of ) Mr Thom/<s Hf.ndbrson from the representation . of your district in the Legislative Assembly,; I have r th« honor to offer myself as a Candidate for the s vacant Seat. i i At the present juncture there are three objects . which the Representatives of the people of this Colony should strive to secure. They are— 3 Firstly : The establishment, on a firm and lasting basis, of good and peaceful relations between the 1 Settlers and the Xatives. x Secondly : The careful and wise expenditure of the I money borrowed for Public Works, so that th?y shall do good to districts such ss "Waitemata, a large and j important portion of which has suffered so seriously . from want of proper communication. And, Thirdly: A. careful supervision of the system of 0 Immigration, upon which the success of the Railway and Public Works policy must of necessity to a large extent depend. Deeming the completion of the Kaipara Railway as of vital importance to the Waitemata district,: I have 3 taken, all a'.org, the greatest interest in the pressing on of that work, and its extension "from Riverhead to s Auckland ; and a -few months ago I originated a de -0 putation to the Honorable the Premier, from the Chamber of Commerce, when he was shewn the large promises of tr i& which the district offered if com munication by rail was secured. Then, and; subse quently, the assurance of Government was obtained tnat the line would be constructed, and that the : Auckland and Riverhead extension will shortly be commenced Since then an adverse report |by the . Engineer-in-Chief has been published,' and the aban donment of the extension been referred to. ) I con - aider that the faith of the Government; and the Legislature is pledged to the extension cf tnislline to Auckland, for, from the Engineer's own shewing, ~ the line incompleted will be of little value ■to th« j district; while, fully finished, it would be of immense / service in developing a latent trade, increasing settle ? ment, and thereby adding to the products, profits, ~ and prosperity of the settlers. If you honour me by returning me as the Represen tative of your district I shall make this a prominent point in my exertions on its behalf ; and I feel sure t that, aided by other members and the justicel of the case pleaded by me, the Kaipara Extension Railwaj will soon be an accomplished fact.' I may add that in all matters concerning the in terests of the district, the province, and the colony ai J large, I shall, if elected, use every effort to promoU their welfare ; and hope to cultivate such satisfactorj relations between the Electors and myself as Membei , for the district as those which have for sol inanj years existed between you and your late represen tative. I hope shortly to have an opportunity of addressing you personally, and shall then more fully enter intc matte i s of colonial and provincial concern. i, I am.
