THE CONDUCT OF JULIUS VOGEL REVIEWED.

The Napier Telegraph, in the course of an article, says :—" The colonists have become tired of old political parties which have so long ruled "New Zealand, and Mr. Yogel will learn that the time ia fust approaching when new combinations will arise from the asbes of the old, and he is but hurrying the day on. He is too astute a politician not to bo aware that his Ministry only hold office on sufferance, because no man with the slightest §lired of a political reputation to lose, cares to take the helm of affairs at present.

We warn Mr. Yogel and his colleagues, that they are now treading on treacherous ground. They may ieel confidence in believing that they are bound to receive the- support of political backsliders, who have not the courage again to face their constituents, knowing how com-" pletely they have forfeited their confidence.
