DISPOSAL OF WASTE LANDS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,--In your issue of the Evbkino STAB; 1 of date October 30th, appears a very sensible, g letter by ■' Extreme Lett," complaining tost, ; Mr Moss—Sir I George Grey andlparty-^w I not provide any remedy for the present bM. I former wholesale questionable disposal.»; I the best of the land of. this country: by; orders in council, &c, to political favourites.;, I Now this complaint is not well founded,,'fcjj.; the Grey Government programme provided I that all available lands would Ije divided! \ into lots to suit the means of all bonftfide settlers, and sold to them by public, auction and fair competition. Moreover, Mr Whitaker, publicly at Newmarket, mi ■ " that he would support that plan of 'deaJiof?' I with land." But, sir, "Extreme Left pr ; any other intelligent person, by one glance" at the material of which the present Govern' mentis constructed ueed not a second .to decide the fate of all land transactions as well as exemption of absentees from land taxes. Yet Ido not clearly see bow,*»' treine Left's very feasible plan could in »«Wt justice be made workable to act retrospectively. But so long as the people thus shut their eyes to their own interests by selecting such representations, so long Wj aid- in building up an arrogant landei: aristocracy to trample on their individual rights and then use them as servile dependent serfs. J would say to parents tnaD now Is the time to choose between coppeftency and independence otherwise ' throl' domand abject servility for your onsprin|. —I am. . •' i- . . , EABSBST.
