THE PREMIER’S STATEMENT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) A Auckland, October 2S. The Herald says : —Sir George Grey did good service to the House and the country yesterday in formally calling attention to the language employed by the Premier on Friday evening last. "We quite agree with Sir George Grey and other members in thinking the explanation of the statement by Sir Julius Vogel more reprehensible than the state- **- ment itself, and yet the House accepted it. What Sir George’s meditations on the issue of yesterday’s discussion may be, we will not undertake to conjecture ; but the next time he talks of slaves in New. Zealand, he will have no occasion to travel beyond the House of Representatives for his illustrations, while " the sorrow which the thought of them ■» awakens will doubtless be intensified by the recollection that the Ministry that now holds the House in thraldom, he himself was mainly instrumental in placing in power.
