ON POLITICS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — must be highly gratifying to all owners of property in the country to read your leading article of the 10th instant, touching the speech made by the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce at Christ church, and still more encouraging to read the outspoken, honest sentiments of Mr. Withy at Newton. Ido hope and trust, Sir, that the effect of the latter gentleman's address will stimulate every honest man, having a stake in the country, with now life, to find we have a little leaven in the House of Assembly, one who has the courage of his convictions, one who will and can expose this cursed log-rolling with which our fair country is afflicted. The object of this letter is to ask every honest man, who has a vote, from end to end of New Zealand, to prepare at once for the next election, and look out for men of a like character to represent us. Let the busy man imbue himself with a little patriotism and come forward, not leave matters to a lot of talking fellows, whose only study in how not to pay their way, who only cajole the public with fine promises, but really are thinking after self-interest, the honorarium, and golden pass. Let our motto be: New Zealand first ; next, the constituency."—l am, &c., William Seddon. Rotorua, September 17, 188 S.
