ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.

(To the Editor of the Wellington Independent )

Si X) —As a reader of the Indepsndent and Spectator, strange and coullictim? views are frequentlyjpresented to the puli.ic lyou the same subject, from these journals, yet it is necessary for the well-working- of our political institutions, that there should be opposiliou, (so it is said) then surely if opposition is good, we have sufficient of it in Wellington to make our political clock keep time with the best chrouomoter ever constructed, and it is with oicry lespixl Mid due deference to the opinion of the opposition, ists, that I venture to suggest that i little inoic politioal .unanimity ivould piumote the public welfare. Sir, I have been led to make these remarks from a letter that has appeaad in the Sjeclalnr of the 23rd May, signed Nlmo lhe until of that letter may be sincere antl litbuur under the conviction that his views .ire right, but wiili■ the exception of something about " the cpltbi tied New Zealand lecturei that was at Melbourne I find nothing new, the remainder is lcitcialiuu and declamation, yet theie is something lathct rich in the declamatoiy epislle, espici illy towards the " Superintondeut, and as a -sliitle to the aspirants to epistolaiy fame , i it« sentence} may be, preserved, allow me to intioduce JS'« 1 " Will the people of Wellington much longer submit to the petty and unco istitutionil despot wbo tramples with impunity upon (he lights

und privileges of an intelligent community." Now for No. 3 " And you sco the supporters of this reckless government setting up their fight-ing-cock Superintendent as it dictator." Now Mr. Editor can you read the above sentences without feeling a tremour through your whole body, then how must the Superintendent feel, perhaps he thinks "Nemo" 13 merely blowing bladders, if so, he will flnd himself greatly mistaken, " Nemo" has but to become a little more grandiloquent, and down comes the Doctor, not to bleed him but to take him to Korori; but enough of this irrelevance, allow me to be serious, if it is possible to be serious with such aa epistle before me, but serious I meant to be, and ask from " Nemo" a few questions which will open a field for his versotile pen, and contribute towards saddling the right horse, with the depressed state of affairs in Wellington. My dear friend " Nemo," perhaps will be so kind as to inform me who put a stop to lea thousand per annum being expended in Wellington in reclaiming the Beach ! Secondly, If there is any truth in the statement set forth in the Spectator a few weeks ago, " That ihe remaining £20,000, at the Union Bank has been stopped, if so, it will, to a certain extent, account for temporary depression,—and with these remarks take my leave of " Nemo" or the present and subscribe myself, j YourV respectfully, Constitutional.
