Should you do me the honour of again returning me, I trust that as I was enabled in the first session of this Parliament to get your existence recognised, and your just claims acknowledged, so in the next Parliament 1 may again be able to »ecure for you a fair shire of the Public Works expenditure, and also see that any sum voted for roads and works North of Auckland are legitimately applied to the purpose for which they are intended, andnot frittered away through the Native Department, or deliberately misappro priated, as In the case cf the £18,000 expendnd on the bridge Jit M^ngare, the cost of which was defrayed out of the £60,000 obtained by me for the benefit of the distiict^ North of Auckland. Hit is my intention to visit in person the various settlements in the Rodney district, when 1 shall be happy to meet the Electors and state my views upon the present political crisis, meanwhile without pledg ing mjself to follow any leader until I know precisely what proposals are to be brought forward in opposi tion to those propounded by the present Government I will only aay that I consider the thanks of the whole community are due ?o Sir Gaorge Grey and those who acted with him, for the bold stand they made in securing to the people the right to decide what shall be the future form of Government in these Islands.
