Electoral. rp H E SUPERIN TENDENCY. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PRO TIN -E uF AUCKLAND. GENTLEMEN,— Upon matin- consideration, and after having con ferred ".vith my friends and supporters at those points within reach, I have felt it my duty to put away all thoughts of re'iring from this Candidature in favour oi Sir George Grey—and for the following refiioiis: — 1. That Gentleman, in effect, states that his object iv entering the arena of polilics is to bolster up, 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 ihe welfare of chi3 Province when ho offered, with a view to strengthening Mr Weld's ;__nds in forming a Ministry, that the sout of Government ahould be re j moveu from Auckland andwlien he asserted that he 1 would yet see this Province at such a low ebb that j grass tro'-M grow in the streets of the city. 3. He has been looking ou quietly for tbe last seven ye-i'3, WhUe ft__k_ujd has been -uffei-ing fi-o_Q neglect, the Province treated mt_ injustice, and a_no«t starved out of political existence, and during that Mm- >\e has not manifested the slightest interest j in ksn- welfare nor used either his influence, his pen I or his tongue on tier behalf. 4. It is felt, that even were he elected Superinten dent he would concern himself chiefly, if not entirely, with largo 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 thu Superintendency 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 -ir 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 tbe Consti tution—is now occupying public att?ntiou, and will have to be dealt with shortly by the House of Repre sentatives, where I Lope to have a seat. I am of opinion, as already stated, that the time has come when Provinciali3m should be entirely abobshed, and also that the land 3of the colony should be dealt with by the Houso of Representatives only, all land re venue becoming colonial revenue, not only for the better security of the public creditor, but also iv order to facilitate the more equitable distribution of any surplus funds, after providing for loans, that may be available for such purposes as education and tha building of school-houses, for public works, grants in aid to road boards, kc. In abolishing Provincialism, much of the represen tative element in the government of ihe country will of course bo swept away; and to compensate ior that, it will, I think, be necessary to alter the Constitution of the Upper House, by making a large proi ortion— say two-thirds, if not all—the members of that branch of the Legislature elective, instead oi nominee, aa at present. I think, also, that it would havo a salutary effect if the term for which members are elected to the House of Representatives, 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 ia England, in Victoria, and elsewhere. As to what should be substituted for Provincialism. I think little will be. required beyond a re-arrange_a_nt of certain depai t_."ats of the General Go-crnment, and an increase of powers and grants of money to road boards. Such amendments of tbe Constitution Act as I havo briefly sketched above, would place in the hands of the people far more real power than they now possess. Wou _ promote public «pirit, of which we stand much in need, and would impart to public 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 Superintendent, you will remember that during the last session of the Council I joined in successfully opposing the Education Act introduced by Messrs Sheehan, Dignan. and Reed, which Act pro posed to abolish the Central Board of Education and vest the powers in the handa of a commissioner to be appointed by tbe Provincial Government. I also opposed tbe present house-tax and manhood-tax for education, and defeated the Government of Mr Shee han oe the question of the transfer of the control of the police irom the General to ihe Provincial authority. I think tbe Thames foreshore should be given as an endowment to the local governing body there. If elected, I shall endeavour to co-operate in a friendly spirit with the General Government, a_d so I watch over the interests of the province thai, a? ' regards finance at all events, its dccli ing years shah | bo'less of a struggle for existence than the years just past. I shall _Ibo endeavour to see that when the new 3tate of things is being inaugurated thia portion o' New Zealand shall not be placed at any disadvantagi as compared with the South, and that its great natural resources and splendid geographical position shall bi I 'io far utilized that the prediction concerning Ihe grass | growing in oar stiee'.s shall be shewn to be the pre | diction of a false prophet. I am, Gentlemen, ' Yours faithfully, J. M. DARGAVILLE. Auckland, Ist March, 1875, Fpo THE GENTLEMEN ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND CITY WEST SIGNING THE REQUISITION. Ge..7__men,— I think that every man should dc all in his power to serve the country in which be lives andHhev.ld strive to promote ihe welfare and happi ness of its people, if they deem it in his power to di so; and that to gain these objects he should 0e preparec to make every personal sacrifice. If, therefore, yoi think my services are bkely to be advantageous t< your interests, and those of New Zealand, I shall b prepared to undertake the duties you desire t impose on me. G. GREY.

The above Department affords the following at vantages, which are secured by special Acta < Legislature, over any other office in the colony:— 1. All policy holders participate in the profits < the Department. 2. The Premiums are lower by at least 7s (seve shillings) per cent, than those o^ any oth< 1 office. 3. The Security is infinitely superior to that ( any private office, the consolidated revenue < tbe colony being available for any defioienc; » ■ 4. The whole of the money paid in Premiums retained in the colony, whereas in priva ii offices so much capital is sent to forelg parts. 5. Policies for wife or family- are absolutely prt c tected from creditors. v 6. No policy is forfeited by non-payment < Premiums after first year, so long as st. c render value will insure the amount, i- For example, a person aged forty, insured under Policy on which five annual payments had bee made, would not forfeit it on account of non-paymet !S of Premiums until the expiration of five years ar E eighty-six days from date of default, provided th the other conditions of the Policy had not be< violated, and it could be renewed at any time with Buch term, on paying up arrears with interest; or T it became a claim within that time, the Policy wou ' be paid, less arrears with interest.
