" FAIE PLAY."
♦ (to thb editob of thb times.) Sir, — I am at a lobs, a* also many of my friends, to understand the motive of the writer, " Fair Play," in the Southand Newt of the 26th inst. Can the writer think that electors will for a moment be induced to alter any of their •pinions by such a •curillous, ungentlemanly, and underhand proceeding ? The people are to be pitied when such is the case, and should no longer live under a representative government. My mind as to the merits of the candidates was not made up, but such effusions in the public press make me think, and also many right minded voters, that when blackguardism is the only means to be used to injure a candidate, such candidate is the right man. — Tours, &c, Elector.
