Dickey G E Ireland Auckland, 6th November, 1875. Gentlemen, — I havn n : uch plpasure in acceding to your request that I should allow myse f to be nominated as a Candidate for the h> >nour of representing Auckland City East in the House of Representatives. I am, Gentlemen, Youi s truly, J M. CLARK To Dr. CamibtHili, an the other gentlemen signing the requisition. TO THE ELECTOES OF THd TOWN OF OiNEHUNGA. Gentlemen,—The strenuous efTorts that were made during tbe recent session of Parliament by the Go vernment and a majority of members of an expiring House of Representativ s to overturn abruptly a primary part of the Constitution under which we live having fai c I, aj opportunity will shctly be afforded yon of esprct-sing at the hustings your opinion upon the attempt to strip the people of impor ant privileges without consulting them and obtaining their con sent. The dissolution of Parliament presents yon with that opportunity, and I now appeal to you to justify me and to resent the affa nt that was offered in striving to k.ep the people muzzled while the Con stitution was being torn to pieces. As your Representative, I felt it to be my duty to co-operate with those who determined to have re course to all the means which Parliamentary forms afford of preventing the Abolition of Provinces Bill becoming law and taking effect until the people of the colony should be heard on tbe matter. The attempt to filch from this Province the rem nant of Local Government and egislative functions still left to us has been generally oondemned, and it should be the duty of the newly-elected members to combine and devise means for elevating the Province from its embarrassment and depression. No lover of the Province of Au<kland can be con tent with the present posture of its affairs, and every friend of freedom and mdep-ndenoe within its bounds 1 ought to sh; ink from allowing its destiny to be con trolled by the hands of men either ignorant of oi hostile to its aspirations. Through the insidious and encroaching legislation of the General Assembly wi have bean s'ripp^d of a due share of the revenue! raised within the Province; we have been despoiled of possessing the capital of the Colony Wo have in deed been humiliated, so far as this could be effected by adverse influences. To redress our wrongs through the medium of tht ' General legislation is h pel.as nd o: th* i-lans th*t have been propounded for accom.-lish ii g this redress, my own predilection is in favour o erecting the Province of * nokland into a separatt colony, sc that all matters affecting the interests o the Province shall b-legislated upon within the Pro vince, and under the eyes of the people ot the Pro vince. should, however, the current, of political though set un-;.istakeanly in favour of the separation of th> two Islands I would accept that scheme, rattier thai lorg--r put up with the prostration of our Provincia Government, or buw to the Abolition project, whici teats from us the last shrt ds of independence. Bette line v der a:-. ussian despotism, if impartial th»n th , ncmin^eism prepared to supplant our elective Super intendent a d Provincial Council. I purpo.-e if you think fit again to elect me you reorrsentrtive, to sujport, in no niggard spirit, th } scheme of policy fallowed forth by our Superin tendeut. Sir George Grey, which I have brl.fly de scribed ; and I shall never consent to exchange tn Superintei dent whom the people if this Piov no oelig .t to h nor, for any member of the SWimgtry, c . any bUbseryient tool they m-y elect to stt over u». j I am not oeterred troin e>p >usmg the cause c 1 Separation—be it that of *uckl na from the rest ( j the colony, or that of the two sands—by factit ov .

My pretensions are of a different colour. I desire to promote ihe happiness of the greatest number ; not by incu'eatiug Quixotic ideas, but by endeavouring to ameliorate the . oi.ditiou or the masses, by increasing the facilities for the acqui sition of the soil, and by reducing taxation cm articles of daily i^e, as was proposed last session with regard to tea, flour, and sugar. , It I should, on this occasion, be again honored witn your confide, cc, I shall in the futu e*»l have en deavoured to do heretofore, hold that it is my fcrst duty to watch over your interest-; my next, 10 Consult for the Welfare of the Piovince which is endeared to us by so maty ties.
