Electoral. rpO THE ELECTORS OF W AITEMATA." Genti/emen,—Beincr informed that a report has ' been circu'a^ed throughout your district, to the effect' tbat I atu a devoted follower of the present Govern ment, I deem it my privilege, in consequence, to address you thus, through the columns of the Press. Two years or more ago I was an admirer of the then Government, and considered that the Public Works and Immigration scheme of itself "was suffi cient to commend that Government to the favourable"', consideration and support of the people; but during • the last two years, however, I regret to "have to '■>' acknowledge that, in addition to the wasteful ex penditure and gross extravagance in the disposal of public moneys, so notoriously chargeable against the tame G 'vevnment, I have s»en much injustice done, and bad legislation fostered by them. One bill » alone—the Native Lands Bill—passed the session ' ' before last, should in my estimation be enough to - condemn any Government in the eyes of all who desire to sep justice done to this North Island, • r fair - \ lay towards the native .owners of the Boil, and possibly native war averted The said vile bill not <-niy virtually puts a sop to settlement in this island, , but deals most iuiquitously with the lands of the natives, and places m the hands of the Government a patronage in the disposal or management' of other people's property which is absolutely revolting to common sense and common honesty I happened to be in Wellington when the bill was rcforo tbe Assembly, and pointed out to several of (he Auckland members how outrageous the bill whs but '*as told that they could do nothing, being only 3 a smutl mivority; Accordingly the bill passed with out 'opposition, althcuah T toek upon myself to point nt to one nicnl-er of the Gove-nmrnt that if th* bill d d become law, it would rre long be urea for their cpnd< mnation. On many other matters of pnblie im port, 1 have communicated with the G-nvernnvnt to little or no purpose and have generally found re monstiancea treatpd with indifference or altog. ther evadod so thit I no lonper feel any inclination to support them, but, on the contrary, have every desire .to see them checked in their'wild career of pxtravawa- co—for which said extravagant?**, however, I do not hold (he rnr'mbftrs of thr Assembly fr«e from blume, as I think that had tht^y shewn the same amount of enemy in scrutinising tho Esfimntps ns tlieydid in opposing the Abolition Bill, at least one hnndrefl thousand pounds might have b*en swed to the public in last peesion alone. At present I Bee no b'-tfer plon of opposing the Government th-n to rally nnder the.banni r of Sir George Grey, and an Sir George has signified his intention to abandon his efforts [ to restore to power the nine expensive Provincial Governments. tf>geth<r with their attendant horde of trading politicians and poll-tax collectors, I feel per fectly juptffipd in assuring you that Sir George will have my most cordial assistance if lam yiur repre- > seniat've. With regard to a united Colony or Seraratio" of 'he two Isl?nds, I confess that T enter tain grave doubts as to which would be best for both islands, as I havo often beli«ved thatwifh the land revenue of New Zealand made colonial revenue, one Government and one purse might, do justice to both islands. But in the face of such argnm<=n+s as those ' of Mr Dihvorth, who is not only fai'-pceiog and clear headed, but fcrninently qualified to givo an opinion and to hnve his opinions treated with consideration I nm inclined to favour Separation ; for, in addition to fie arguments UECd by Mr Dilworth, there in the ' alarming .fact, that the 'South Island counts fifty ihrpo members of Aespmbly as against thirty-five from this island, bo that, in all ca*es where interests clashed, the >~orth woulft he ont-votpd I beg, therefore, to >sk the electors of Waitemata to be on Iheir guard against any rumours that may be circulated to my prejudice, for llfce unto Mr Dil worth's interests my own are centred in this island and I feel confident, that in all that concerns its welfare I will' be found working in concert with ita true friends. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Tours obediently, . ~ , , J- S. MACFARLANE. Auckland, January 3,1876 _ Extract from a letter of Mr OTworth's, published m the Star, of the 29th December:—Mr CJark is strongly opposed to Separation las strongly believe it is the only salvation for Auckland. We have been too lonir avd too unpqually yoked It i? a notorious isot tbat between our disunion and the ov. rwbe^ing majority of representatives from the South Island, our affairs have been managed, not by us, but for us That management which has already prodHced one *r native war, is like the mjmagement of all absentees, ■ both expensive and bad; so bad, iDdeed, as to pro duce, during a trial of nearly twenty years, both, public discontent and public bankruptcy. The en forced continuance by Southern domination of this " state of things will as certainly produce another native war at no distant date, as the JSouth TsWn ' domination! and ignorance of native affairs produced *MJ^Bt lj^ i __jis r 3 n sPs{e^^^ sentinv nt of aa United New Zealand, or tbTgain "of a. produoe snch generous and good7^PivßTrnrTwt»™ti«ii_jq "1, financial basis let the South Island takoifrTSSi?i__^ figures, without going into details, which are of minor ~ — importance, the who'e debt, less provincial deb's a»d the public works and immigration pxpe- diture in the North Island, leaving 'he natives and all future dealings with them and the results of such dealings . to us, who understand them." ffO THE ELECTORS OF THE DIS- X TEICT OF WAITEMATA.
