OHRIBTOHTJR Sitkday. Hr Moor-bouse at CUrHtchnrch Mr Moorhouse addressed his constituent last night. He said though its members held the same opinions still, or the same oppini ns in a slightly modified form, the oppos - tion of last session had c ased as a part\ to k exi->t. He denied with some warmth the apeliation given h m of '• Pri-iee of humbugs." He knew people would not consider 'him deterring of it. He aso denied being " p ayed out". His present political attitude towards aid Bir George Grey was briefly this. He recognised the Premier* eloquence and eXoeding a ility. He had done his best to! keep him out of offioe, but seeing his enormous majorifc , and how completely the col my had chosen to trust him »s its olitioal le tder.it would be very arrogant on his part if ho did not stand on one tide, aud witness the experiment, and support the Premier n his Valuable measures. He had t<o much interest in the o lony to offer factio s opposition, but he would be a very sturdy rebel indeed to any measure which bore the impress of ad or mist Iken po ioy. Tie last change of Vf mist y had been largely contributed to by the de-ire <>f some persons for offioe. Tbe tao ics used to obtain possession of the Q- Merriment benches were in some degree unchivalroun, and the means used were not to be admired on the score of generosity. He had come after reflection to the conclusion that it wa« a rery good thing as a matter of pub ie education (hat there had been a change of Ministry. He dwelt especially on the spirit of moderation that, had com* ever Ministers and bore testimony from his own daily know ledge at Wellington, to their undoubtedly able powers of administration, and especial y forcible on the point that Mr Macan >rew since taking office was not guided h y a belief that Otago was all New Zea and. At the same time it wa- impossible that Government could perform all their promises 'h y talked manhood suffrage in Auokland, but the further South the Q-overnmeat went, the o Ider theclimate,the more conservative tbey became He trusted that it would be a short session with no factious opposition, and as li tie legislation, and as much rest ai possible A vo ii of thanks was heartily pissed to Vlr Vf oorh >use, the q estion of want of con fideno- not bein^ allowel to be put by the meeting.
