WASHTUB POLITICS.

TO TBB BDITOB Sir, Your correspondent " Straight Wire " seems to be troubled with oorason his to**s, but among them there is one more «ansitire than the rest, and the name of that particular corn is Mr Michael Qilfedder, MO. If anyone treads on that pet corn bis Irish blood is ap in a moment. He ftrikes out with both fists and dances round like a madman, singing out" Oh, my -corn ; oh, my corn." But the occasion does not demand snob an outpouring of Liberal wrath.

Ido not olaim liks Mr " Straight Wi» to be an inspired politician, bnt I am Mmply a seeker after truth, and this »•■_■»* •*? when writing my former letter, and I lmsaettately gained my point. I learned that among Mr GHfedder's twelw Otoataa disciples there is at least one blind bigot, and that his political name is " Straight Wirt. He says that his lord has still » schema » hand for reforming the Upper Honse-* noble and patriotic scheme truly to fill it tail of Seddonian spaniels frr the toiling m»ss OI Demoorats to support in luxury by the sweat of their brows. In the slar which he throws at all men who have passed the meridian o£ life by calliog them old foggeys, be expresses the ignobleness of hia paind, and »he hollow • ness of his heart. This Liberal roo*ter al-cV has a little crow to himsolf before be is <-ut of the wood. But keep all your weapons of war sharp and in readiness, Mr " Straight Wire," hs you will have yonug blood as well as old foggeys to oope with in the struggle to prevent your sohoolmaster from being hustled oui. of the legislative obair aid back to the schoolroom which he should never have vacated.-1 am, etc, Emctob.
