KAKAHU BUSH SCHOOL.

TO THE EDITOR. g lE) _Although Mr Duncan is doubtless a fine sensible fellow in bis own estimation it does not follow that he is the Solomon of the Committee, as he evidently wishes the public to believe, if one may judge from his charging the other members with stupidity. He admits that ke was in a passion (just about white heat) whan he wrote bis first letter to the

Herald, bat surely, sir, that is no excuse for his unmanly attack on the young lady whose election bo roused bis wrath that he oould not rest until bis " Waverley nib and porcupine quill" bolted with him into a maze of nonsena* and misstatements. I am glad to know that he attempted to saddle the " right bbs" in his second effusion, but I would advise him to keep a safe distance from its heels, or probably the ais might kick him, which accident would be very unfortunate for the makers of Waverley nibs, although it would b» a blessing to the general public. When he is in search of a suitable ais to saddle he need not go far from his own homestead to find one. It is a pity he can't turn his literary abilities to a better purpoße than oritioisiog the actions of a committee that ll doing its work to the satisfaction of the householders, and a young teacher who, so far us shi has gone, has given no cause for complaint. Mr Editor, in your footnote to Mr Duncan's letter, you stated that you would allow him to pitch into me as hard as he liked, and now I hope you will kindly extend the tame privilege to ine.— I am, etc., Sfboiatob. [We should have declined this letter altogether only for the appeal about" pitching in " made at the end of it. We inserted Mr Duncan's letter, and Spectator would think it hard if we declined his. Both Mr Duncan and Spectator muat find some other subject to discuss, as we do nor. think it right to keep the subject open any longer. The pait expunged was libellous.—The Bditob.]
