WARE HAWK!
To ilia Electors of tho Province 1 of Auckland, Gf.ntlicMlm,-' The “ PnooiiLßi Pautv, — alias tlifi rnoulb-piece of the agitating Browns—-have this morning iiMicii another General Order. I should have nothing to say to the yarn were it not for the cool and deliberate pirari/ of its projectors. Ii is no new thing lor the gentry of ihe Black 1m a G to hoist Imi.sk Genovas, in order that they may >mk, burn, and destroy the unuivy, lint really they must be lubbers and loblolly boy s’indeed who can be taken in and done for by suc]t a barefaced rigmarole as that which Inis just been delivered from the broadside of tho “ I rogrcs.s Gkokch.” , If endless, pointle s, ruinous Agitation be Progress, then, indeed, the Brownlies must be confes ed to be byfur the most progressive of all tho colonists of the British Empire, If pertinacity in striving 1 to burthen an infant Province with £IOO,OOO to £120,000, at an interest of 10 per cent, be a wise economy, then, verily, I say, tho Brownites are prodigies ot Einincial skill. IfAim projection of public works, at an estimate (by the intuitive genius of the r*tle of thumb) ot .£IO,OOO, multiplied by imperfect calculations, ami ou insufficient bases, to T be proofs of ‘ intelligent statesmanship,” why then I am free to confess that the Brown Progressives flog our Pitts and Peels hy unlimited chalks. li the total stoppage of every city improvement; if the obstruction to the carrying on of tho Harbour Works, and the deadly blow thereby struck at our hardy sawyers and timber hewers bo deeds of progress, again 1 ask who so progressive ns the inimitable Browns 1 £)comunv in a fitto card to flaunt, but vvboro uouM have been but lor the Constitutionalists, who millet} rutl!! 1 } and unforced its preservation !
-j Gentlemen Electors, overhaul before you sh n ic'es I I will) these self-du died “ Progress” men. L >ok to the • i reckless ext'nvHirniice of their late intended ontfi'. In . other words, examine well the I’r >vincial Es iuistes as they'were fram' d, and Ihe Provincial Estimates ns they were passed. If after that, you cannot discover that “ Progress’’ would have sent ship, crew, and cargo ! o the bottom, why all I can say is, you arc more Mind than 1 take you to he. Your servant, till death, Tow Tough. J2tb Oct., 1855.
