The Parliamentary correspondent of a morning paper refers to the contents of Hansard as contributed by Seddon, Fish, and Co. as " slush." Pages and pages of Hansard are occupied by reports' of the speeches delivered by these men, and it is mild criticism to call this outpour of verbiage "slush." The latest number of Hansard brings the reports down to July 31, and which completes 913 pages of some of the veriest twaddle that has found its way into print. Our Parliament, under the triennial system and thoughtless suffrage, has now wnk ho low that it would bo worth the while of the several religious bodies to consider the advisableness of [ setting a day apart for special prayer and ! fasting with a view that it may please Providence so to dispose the hearts and minds of tho electors to roject for ever the candidature of such as are of Seddon, Fish, I and Co.
