ELECTIONEERING DEVICKS.
TO THB BDITOB OP THB TIMABU HBBALV. Sib, — " It« a Pity " whoever tho writer o( the letter signed thus should have descended to such a depth as to have written it. It has a singular flavor of a disappointed, soured nature — a disposition to attribulo unworthy motirot, and a curious inclination to twist, distort und put an ill construction on aotionx which uro only consistent with the late Member for (iladstone's attiiudo m the Assembly m voting for a reduction of the honorarium, and when outvoted, doing the next best thing be could, — that it, dividing liis honorarium among the various institutions of his constituency likely to be most benefltted by it. " Its a Pity's " letter also appears to contain a covert attempt t j set class against class, for m advocating a selection from the gentlemen he mentions ho distinctly confines himself to the old squatting element. I am, &c, Elbotob.
