Electoral. rpO THE ELECTO B S OF W AITEM ATA. Gentlemen,—Being informed that a report has been circulated throughout yonr district, to the effect that I am a devoted follower of the present Govern ment, I deem it my privilege, in eonsequenofl, to address you thus, through the columns of =he Prpn«. Two years or more ago I wai an artriiirer of the then Govt-rameritj and considered tint <hn Pubic Worts and Immigration scheme of itself was'suffi cient to commend that Government to the favourable consideration and support of thepeoplo ; but diving the last two yeais, however, I regret to have to acknowledge that, in addition to the wostrful ex penditure and gross extravagance in the c^spoeal of public moneys, so notoriously chßrgeable'agninst the same Government, I have «"en much injustice done, and bad legislation fostered by them. One bill alone —the Native Lands Bill—passed the s-srfon before Jast, should in my estimation be "enough to condemn any Government in the eyes of all who desire to see justice done to this North Island, < r fair play towards the native owner* of the soil, nvd possibly native war averted. The said vile bill not only virtually puts a stop to settlement in this is'anrl, but deals most iniquitously with the lands of the natives, and places In the hands of the Government a patronage In the disposal or manage nunt of other people's property, which is absolutely revolting1 to common sense and common honesty I happened to be in Wellington when the bill was before the Assembly, and pointed out to several of ihe Auckland members how outrageous the Hll was, but was told that they could do notblnjj, bring only a small minority. Accordingly the bill passes with out opposition, although I took upon myself to pAint. cut to one member of the Government tii*t if the bill did become law, it would ore long be used for their •• condfmnation. On many other matters of public im port, I have communicated with the Government 1o little or no purpose, and have generally found re monstrances treated with indifference or altog ther evaded, so that I no longer feel any inclination to support them, but, on the contrary, have every desire to see them checked in their.wild oreerof extravapai.ee—for which said extravagance*, however, I do not hold the members of the Assembly fiv;e fi oi.n bJr.me, as I think that had they shewn thn came amount of energy in scrutinising tho Estimates 88 they did in opposing the Abolifion Bill, at leafit one hundred thousand pounds might have been fmvpc! to the public in last session alone. At present I psp no better plan of opposing the Government th *n to ?ally under the bannr-r of SirGeorceGrfy. and a« Sir George has signified his intention to abandon his effort* to restore to power the nine expensive Provincial Governments, together with their attendant hordo of trading politicians and poll-tax collectors, I feel per fectly justified in assuring you thut Sir George will have my most cordial assistance if I am ynnr repre sentative. AVith regard to a united Co'nny, or Separation of ihe two Islsnds, T confess that T enter tain grave doubts as to which would be bi^st for both islands, as I have often beli/ved thatwMi the land revenue of New Zealand made colonial r- venue, one Government and one purse might, do justice to both islands. ~ But in the face of such arguments as tho?e of Mr Dilworth, who is not only far-s?eiog ana clear headed, but eminently qualified to give an opinion, and to have his opinions treated with cons'derntion, I am inclined to favour Separation ; for, in addition to the arguments need by Mr Diiworth, there Is the alarming fact, that the South Island counts fifty three members of Assembly as against thirty-five from this island, so that, in all cases where interests clashed, the North would be out-voted I beg, therefore, to »sk the electors of Wnitemata to be on their guard against any rumours ihnt may be circulated to my prejudice, for like unto STr Dil worth's interests, my own are centred in this ißland, and I feel confident, that in all that concerns its ■welfare I will he found working in concert with its true friends. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Youtb obediently, J. S. MACTAKLANS. Auckland, January 3,1876 • ' Extract from a letter of Mr Dilworth'*, published in the Star, of the 29th December:—Mr Ciar* is Btmnijiy opposed t.o v eparaHon las s<r mgly b lieve it is the only salvation for Auckland. We have lieen ton Inner a<d too nn*qnally yok( d It i- anntinrus fact that between flur disunion and theov rwhe'ming majority of representativis from <he tfortth Ipb-nri, . our affairs have been managed, not by us. but for us. That, management which has already prorlne'e i one native war, is like the management of all absentees, both expensive and bad; so bad, indeed, hs to pro duce, during a trial of nearly twenty .year:' both ' public discontent and pubiia ba«krurtcy. The en forced continuance by Southern domination of this state of things will as certainly produce anrtber native war at no, distant date, as. the Pouth Ts'sn domination and ignorance of native affairs produced the last war. Aba settler of thirty-five years i-eßi dence in New Zealand, I would soy to the players in this game of Uovrrrnmeut, 'Do not let the hollow sentiment of aa United New Zealand, or the gain of a few hundreds of thousands of pounds produce sneh. a result; but in the name of all that is noble, generous, and good, .Btiive for Separation' ,*s a finar.cial basis let the South Island take in round figures, without going into details, which are of minor*, importance, the. who.© debt, less provincial deb's and the public works and immigration expei diture in the North Island, leaving: 'he natives and an ruture dealings with them and the resalta of such dealings • to uo, wlioTanderHtand them." mo THE ELECTORS OF THE DIS JL ■ 'safe. • - TEICT OF WAITEMATA, Gkktlimsn,—l have the honour to announcß that - at the foithcomifg General Election for the Piirlia ment of New Zealand it Is m? intenti-n to offer ' myself as a Candidate, to represent your iateresta in the Fousd of Bepresantatives.
