•* — TO THK EDITOR. Sib— Your pngnaoious oorrospondont, F.H. , should have signod his name i! ho is not ashamed of hii principles. lam not ashamed of mine. He evidently does not understand me. I would fight for a real grievance ; he would do bo for a mere shadow. He would have plunged the nation in war a month ago —a thorough bull-dog and unreasonable mode of procedure. I would prefer to exeroise my reason and good sense to find out if there was not a better mode that oould be adopted to Bottle the difference. Acoording to the theory of our fire-eating friends, Mr. Gladstone waa to be Lnrlod from his position to give place to men who would < at ones "let slip the dogs of war." Thank goodness th's class of men is not in

the majority. Wo find tho ' ' grand old man " Htill in office, and the prospeots of peace daily growing brighter. May men of good sonnd_ sense always ocoaiy the higher positions in this land, and wnen England does no to war let it be a necessity. In that case wars will be fewer in the future than in the past. I am, &c, W. Clark. Wellington, 13th May.
