Original Correspondance.
o (Tb Ihe Editor of the Evening Star, )
Sm—Surely the electors of the town of Dunedin have now discovered the broken reed they trusted to, when they returned Mr Grant as one of their representatives in the Provincial Council. The stump orator of the Octagon, surrounded by the gaping malcontents of our social system finds, to his chagrin, that" he is in the place where he ought not to be,, as the manner in which he is treated by the members of Council proves. Mr Grant, it appears, from his demeanour, when rising to speak, has a nervousness and an indistinctness of “utterance which shows the difference between Mr Grant addressing a mob, and Mr Grant addressing an assembly of intelligent men, who have shown their general good sense in abstaining from seconding his resolutions, thus evincing their contempt of so profound a demagogue. I am, sir, Yours, &c.. An Elector oe Dunedin. Dunedin, Nov. 29, 1865.
