t Electoral. rp H E SUPBRIN TENDENCY. . X TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PRO VINCE OF AUCKLAND. GENTI/EMESr,— Xlpon mature consideration, and after having con ferred witb my friends and supporters at "those points within reach, 1 hare felt it my duty to pfifc a way ;il 1 thoughts of retiring from this Candidature in favour of Sir George Grey—and for tho following reasons:— 1. That Gentleman, in effect, states that his object in entering the arena of politics is to bolster tip, and if possible, perpetuate provincialism, which form of Government I am of opinion should be entirely abolished throughout the Colony. 2. Sir George shewed an utter disregard for the welfare of this Province when he offered, with a view to strengthening Mr "Weld's hands in forming a Ministry, that the seat of Government should be re moved from Auckland, and wlion he asserted that he would yet see this Province at snch a low ebb that grass would grow in the streets of the cit3'. 3. He has been looking on quietly for the last seven years, while Auckland lias been suffering from neglect, the Province treated with injustice, and almost starved out of political existence, and during that time he has Hot manifested the, slightest interest in Tier welfare nor used either his influence, his x>en j of his tongue on her behalf. i. It is felt, that even were he elected Superinten dent he would concern Mmself chiefly, if not entirely, with large theoretical questions of constitutional Government, leaving the present Executive to ad minister the affairs of this Province as they are at present doing, and with such wretched results. It is now ascertained that for the above reasons, amongst many others, the Candidature of Sir George Grey for the Bupeiintendency will not be acceptable to the electors of the Province generally, and that, therefore, a certain political party on the occasion of , their recent visit to Sir George, at Kawau, misrepre- ■ sented to him the wishes of the electorate as well as my intentions in the matter of this contest. | An important question'—the reform of tho Consti tution—is now occupying public attention, and will have to be dealt with shortly by the House of Kepre- ; seiitalives, Whei'e I hope to have a seat. I am of opinion, as already stated, that the time has come when Provincialism should be entirely abolished, and j :tlno that the lands of the colony should be dealt witli by the House of Representatives only, Sill land re-'i venue becoming colonial revenue, not only for tiie better security of the public creditor, but alba in order to facilitate the more equitable distribution oS any surplus funds, after providing for loans, that may be available for such, ptirxioses as education and the building of school-houtes,- for public works, j grants in aid to road boards, &c. In abolishing Provincialism, much of tile represeH" tative element in the government of the country will of course bo swept away; and to compensate for that'^ it will, I think, be necessary to alter the Constitution of the Upper House, by malting a large proportion say two-thirds, if not all—the members of that branch of the Legislature elective, instead of nominee, as at present. I think, also, that it would have a salutary effect if the term for which members are elected to the House of ll*?presentatives, were reduced to three years, and if members of either House, who accepted office, were compelled to come back to their con stituents for re-election,, as in England, in Victoria, and elsewhei-e. As to what should be substituted for Provincialism. I think little will be required beyond a re-arrangement of certain departments of the General Government, and an increase of iMW^rs and grftiits of money to road boards. Such amendments of the Constitution Act as I have briefly sketched above, would place in the hands of the people far more real power "than they now possess. Would promote public spirit, of which we stand much in need, and would impart to irablic opinion throughout the country such force and effect that no government would dare^to disregard it. With regard to matters more immediately relating to the duties of Supex-mtendent, you will remember that during the last session of the Council I joined in successfully opx^osing the Education Act introduced by Messrs Sheelian, Dignan, and Keed, which Act pro posed to abolish the Central Board of Education and vest the powei-s in the hands of a commissioner to be appointed by the Provincial Government. I also opposed the present house-tax and manhood-tax for education, and defeated the Government of Mr Shee- '■ han on the question of the transfer of the control of tho police from the General to the Provincial authority. I think the Thames foreshore should be given as an endowment to the local governing body there. If^c-lected, I shall endeavour to co-operate in a , friendly spirit with the General Government, ai*d so I watch over the interests of the province that, as regards finance at all events, its declining years shall be less of a struggle for existence than the years just pant. ■ I shall also endeavour to see that when the new state of things is being inaugurated this portion of New Zealand shall not be placed at any disadvantage as compared with the South, and that its great natural resoxirces and splendid geographical position shall be so far .utilized that the prediction concerning the grass growing in our streets shall be shewn to be the pre diction of a false prophet. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, ' • J. M. DAEGAVILLE. Auckland, Ist March, 1875. mo THE GENTLEMEN ELECTOES JL - ■■ ■■ ■ OF AUCKLAND CITY "WEST SIGNING THE REQUISITION. GEktlemen,--I think that every man should do all in his power to serve the country in which he lives, and sheuld strive to promote the welfare and happi ness of its people, if they deem it in '.his power to do so; and that to gain these objects he should be prepared to make every personal sacrifice. If, therefore, you think my services are likely to be advantageous to your interests, and those of New Zealand, I shall be prepared to undertake the duties you desireI'to impose on me. G. GREY.

The above Department affords the following ad-f vantages, which are . secured by special AGts of Legislature, over any other office in the colony :— 1. All policy holders participate in the profits of the Department. ,2. The Premiums are lower by at least 7s (seven shillings) per cent, than those of any other. '. ■' '. Office.' '■•'■•;,' : ■'■■'.."■■' :' ■' ■ 3. The Security is infinitely superior to that of j any private office, the consolidated revenue of the colony being available for any deficiency. 4. The whole of the money paid in Premiums is retained in the colony, whereas in private offices so much oapital is sent to foreign parts. " '■•'": ' j 5. Policies for wife or family are absolutely pro tected from creditors. , . 6. No policy is forfeited by \ non-payment of Premiums after first year, so long as sur render value will insure, the amount. For example, a person aged forty, insured uader aj Polioy on whiqh five annual payments had been made, would not forfeit it on account of non-payment of Premiums until the expiration of five years and eighty-six days from date of default, provided that the other conditions of the Policy had-not been violated, and it could be renewed at any time within such term, pn paying up arrears /with interest; or if it became a claim within that time, the Policy would I *be paid, less arrears with interest. No Policy need i | therefore be sacrificed in consequence of ; the pressure 1 j of any temporary loss of employment or other mone tary embarrassment. > » , . The Investment of Funds is by Special Act of Parliament in Government Debentures. • W. J. MOOJJIT, i Agent for Province of Auckland.
