MESSRS MORRISON, HUTCHISON, AND PINKERTON.
TO HUB EDITOR.'- .'■-.■'■ ■ Sir, --1 had great pleasure in reading "Elector's" letter in your valuable paper;ra getting up a petition asktag Messrs Morrison, Hutchison, and Pinkerton to resign. I don't think there ever'were representatives sent to - Wellington who have so quickly lost ail confidence of the electors by their wilful disregard of election pledges.
