SIR JULIUS YOGEL.

The "Tablet," (the chief organ of our Roman Catholic fellow colonists) was moat favorably impressed with fcir Julius Vogel's speech at Chrißtchurch . In its leading article this morning our contemporary says : — " We have read all the speeches, not only of all the 'eadera, but also of the rank andjfile, and have formed academically an opinion as to thoir merits ; and. we must say that this speech of fc=ir Julius Yogel is far and away the ablest of all we have read. He speaks like an expert who is thoroughly master of hJB Bubject. He knows bis business, and can evidently not only think ably and clearly, but can also express himself clearly . There is something very touching m his resumi of his services to the country, and his comparison of statistics as regards the period of his initiation of the Public Works polioy and of the present term is convincing, and, to his opponents, crushing. That he has been hardly treated no one can deny. Sir Julius Yogel Btands out head and sbonlderß above every public man at present before tho people as a statistician, politician, and financier. And as to statesmanship, there ie no public man that can come near him. Let the result of the approaching election be what it may, it will be a calamity if Sir Julius's Borvices should be lost to the colony."—" Oamaru Mail "
