TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PETER'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,—Mr Banner has issued an
Advertisement, which has also been exteoeively
placarded through the Ward, in which he is pleased to say that I had
" thought proper to stet in the NORTIIHN DAILY TIMES that the
Church in Myrtle-street. attached to Vie orphan Asylum, was
erected by übscription, while the credit of building it is taken to
myself."

In reply permit ma to say, that not having been the author of
the artic e to which Mr. Ranier refers, tha allegation that i have
misrepresented him is Wl-1..)L t•Y UN I RUE.
I have too high a respect tor Mr. Banner as a private Citizen to
allow me to say one word in his disparagement, but at the same
tame I cannot al otv him even in the midst of au election excitement,
to attribute to me personally any article which may appear in a
public journal with whims I happen to I ave connection.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,
South John-street, October 28, 1857.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SAINT PETER'S WARD.

GENTLEMEN,—The receipt by me of a requi
Fition from a very numerous and highly r.,spectahle
portion of your body, inviting me to al ow myself to be nominated as
it candidate to represent ou in the Town Council, leaves me no
other course (compatible with a sense of du, y) than to come forward as
ac ndidate for your suffrages, at the approaching Municipal Election.
C nnect•ed as I have been with your ward, as a ratepayer in it, for
a period of nearly twenty years, such a mark of your confidence is
highly appreciated by me; rv,d should it be the will of the majority,
to pl we me as your lepreseetatice, in the council, I beg to assure you
that my best exertions shall be continually exercised to 'orward your
nterests, and that, of the Cortimun:ty generally. Although we have a
eOmparative absence of great party cries, and subjects of contention.
I co, calve there are an abundance of objeJts to which the attention
end labenrs of 3 our representatives should be directed.
The present state of the supply of water, cannot longer be borne
with ; it calls fir the earnest attention, and immediate action of your
Town Council ; the supply of so important a necessary of life and
health, in the nnre state, overldes all other considerations; and from
the interests involved, demands an early settlement.
That your Corporate funds should be managed with the greatest eco-
nomy, is so evident a proposition, that I will only allude to it by saying,
that the attention of your council should be kept constantly alive to the
necessity of keeping the expenditure of the great revenue entrusted
to their management, and derivellfrorn the hard labour of all the
various classes of the community, at the lowest point compatible with
the wants and interests of that community. Connected with this sub-
ject, s another of great importance. It is highly. essential, that a
careful revision of the Corporation Property should be made, so that
It may be dearly ascertained of what it consists.
There are mail. other subjects which cannot be more than touched
upon, within the limits of n a Idress, such as the spreading of Edu-
cation—the fosterirg of useful institations, and e'evatiue; influences
which I hold to be Ike duty of oar local legislature. These subjects,
if it be your p7eastwe to return M 3 as your representative, shall have
the mast earnest cod industrlons application of my abilities applied to
them.-- i remain, Gentlemen, yours obedient servant,
C. T. BOWRING.

TO THE BURGESSES OF SCOTLAND WARD.
GEN TLEMEN,—Hoving received a requisition
sign-ed by a number of respectab'e voters in your
Ward, wishing me to become a Cand d =tes to represent you in the
Town Council at the ensuing El ction, I feel honoured by the com-
plhrent, and at once accede to your wishes.
Having now suftLient leisure at my disposal to make myself useful
on the Committees of the Council, where I apprehend" its real
business is transacted, you may re.t assured that If Elected, I shall
endeavour to serve you rk ther by deeds than words.
Many lees! improvements are much needed, and I shall use my
best energies to aid in carrying them out, if they can be effected
w;thout laying additicnal burdens upon the inhabitants. If the yet
large funds at the disposal of the corporation be judiciously and skil-
fully managed, I am of opinion that such improvements may be
safely and gradually effected.
Years of agitatien have unfortunately marked the progress of the
Water Question—l shall, if elected, give it my beat attention, and
endeavour, to the bast of my ability, to have this vexed question
settled to the satisfaction. of the Burgesses at largesll • •
Gentlemen, I have no personal motive in responding to your dell,
ese-pt it be the desire to be useful, and to gain the good-will of my
. ellow-town• men. If, therefore, you are of opinion that I 01111 prove
a practical a- d indep•ndent representative, then elect me, and I will
serve yuu faithfully—if otherwise, I shall cheerfully submit to you
deels'on.—l remain, gentleman, your Obedient servmat,
