HAMILTON BOROUGH ELECTION.

(To the Editor). g IR) —A public meeting was got up at a few hours' notice on Saturday, to consider matters in relation to the coming Mayoralty election. After the present candidates, Messrs Yialou and Potter, had been interviewed—principally upon the subjects set forth in Mr Potter's address—the force of the new law in respect to elections, doing away with the proxy system and giving to each elector an equal vote in the election ol Mayor, was painfully exhibited by a prominent member of a ring, Captain Steele, when he had to come for the first tin-ie, and at the request of the electors, principally small holders, to withhold their promises, as a better man was forthcoming. In place of taking from his pocket 36 votes, placing them upon the table, and with his satellites electing whoever the ring had decreed for that office, he unguardedly exposed his promised man's principles. He agreed with Mr Potter that the " railway station should be at 'no one." He was of opinion that the " bridge should be built .at or near the present crossing place, but he said the rivtr had no bottom at that place ; we could not borrow money to build an expensive bridge, so that the bridge must be put where there is a bottom to the river—(the Ring has land further up the , river ) As to the tramway advocated by Mr Potter, "that was a myth-" tramways would not answer ; they were very costly. Auck land had been trying the last two years to <vet up a company and failed. (Ihe tram way would ruin the river monoploy, the ramification of which may affect the King.) Captain Steele said, "as to leasing out the land advocated by Mr Potter, 100 acres was only allowed within the ' borough and 2,000 outside as a borough es tate."" (The fact is, the idea of giving a small elector or a poor man a chance of ob taining fox several years a piece of land for his horse or cow-before the cravings of the land shark are satisfied, is preposterous ; let him «o further away—to the 2,000 acres outside of the Borough—miles from his home). The-warning of Mr Potter m the latter part of his address, "assume your position before it is undermined by specula tion" is significant at this crisis. Captain Steele said " an attempt was being made to Vocrelise Hamilton." Vogelism has placed this Colony foremost among the Australian Colonies, and he, when it suited the purpose oftheßrn", resorted to Vogelism in the reclamation of the Piako Swamp by employing emigrants for that work—all this points" to the shopkeeper aud the small householder to look out for the interests of the Borough.—A Looker-ON.

While other means and medicine havo been proving them selves vain and delusivo this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel lingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give tho Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful eftect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and in vigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood Is th cai»e of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vepeels—which h&ve become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en tiro system. N.B.—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens' Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arropts Colds, allays Ftver», and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of tho won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchbns,— Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted by the attendance of medical men, I Krew rapidly worse, and the pain • became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stab, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and tho advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissunde us from testing the virtue of the medicine. th*t we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were tikon, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-street. WAIKAWAU TIMBER YARDS CUSTOM-HOUSE-STREET and BREAKWATER ROAD. E.

PULYEKMACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (BISCENTI.Y IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, deoends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy : any doflciency tnereof in the svsteni manifests it-elf, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail ments, such as Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafneas Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Kpilepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility General Debility Fcm»le Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness Sec. &c, &c. This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHEIfS GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful exoeHeneo has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli anws, or en in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is spontaneous and remark able:— " Auckland, November 26,1877. ■ "Deaw Sir, —1 have been la great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6i years I have not been free from it for one minute ; and to make things worse, about two years and nme months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in' which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for those com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has f^een something wonderful, theNeuraliriain the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any batter), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almoßt like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. **1 am, yours truly, " James Slatob. " G.
