THE DISTRTC T ELECTION.

Wellington, lO'.h. May, 1800. SIR, — Having now ffiirly got out of die wood, I suppose you may shout as loud as your lungs cau clink. The Country District Electors have gained another victory over their sham radical opponents ; they have again recorded their verdict against that party whose baneful doings have paralyzed the progress and prosperity of the Province, and brought dismay and almost utter ruin to their doors. Again, the electors say — we will not have these sham radicals to rule over us; who have blighted the fairest prospects of the Province ; who make promises, but never keep them; and who do not care what ruin they bring about, so long as they satisfy their paltry revenge. They can talk, but there is no do in them. Where are all the grand reformations they were to make when they got into power ? Where are the Lmd Regulations which were to be introduced immediately the Couucil met to make- the Calmuc Tartars disgorge the land over which they hunted their sheep ? Where is the new scheme of immigration that was so much talked about, and a thousand other schemes which were to be immediately introduced so soon as these great magnates were returned to the Council ? Fie upou you, gentlemen, why not give place to better men, and let prosperity again return. Three years ago, there was not an empty house in Wellington, all were tenanted ; now there is hardly a street in which there is not a dozen empty houses. If the GjvernTient propose to reclaim the beach land, to build a public wharf alongside which steamers of the largest size might lie ; to provide a market place for the settlers to buy and sell their produce in, the bills are contemptously shelved for six. months; and thus thousands of pounds are prevented from being spent, and beneficial employment kept away from the people. Shame upou the renegade scribe ivho strives hnrd " to make the worst appear the better reason," and who would sell the best interests of his adopted country for a mess of pottage. Shout, shout, Mr. Editor, loud and long, ;uid a determined band will assist you, until right prevails. Your's, !kc. N
