AUSTRALIAN POLITICS.
Brisbanb, February 4. The Premier has issued a manifesto for the general election. He BBserts that owing to the actions of the Commonwealth nearly every state has so bitterly disappointed the advooates of union that perhaps most of them would be glad to see tbe Union dissolved. He points out the necessity of the State Governments keeping intact the powers secured to them to resist all attempts to abridge them, and to refuse any invitation of the Federal Government to surrender the least of them. Referring to the status of Premiers at tbe Coronation he would refuse to accept conditions which really amount to going under Mr Barton's patronage. He would sooner^ go under Mr Seddon'a patronage. He ! differs from Mr See because he can see ; no reason why Mr Seddon Bhould not get a special invitation, for he believes that Mr Seddon, from what he has done for the Mother Country, is more entitled to special recognition that Mr Barton.
