Correspondence.
To the Editor of the Anglo-Maori Warder. Sir,—May I be allowed to remark upon what appears to me an open inconsistency between two of your leading articles, which I have in vain attempted to reconcile with each other. I" the one you say that you "could wish, tor many reasons, to see the Governor independent of Council, and acting upon his own direct authority''—ia other words, to free him from all control : in the other, yon advocute the creation of Municipalities.— *' through which we may feel our way towards establishing popular rights on a broader basis ; slowly, but surely, acquiring progressive knowledge of our requirements," &c-, and propose to climb as soon a* possible,—" the first round in the ladder of selfgovernment,'' Is not this blowing hot and cold? like the traveller in the fable, who warmed his fingers aud cooled his soup, by one and the same means. Take care that you do not saffer the same penalty for your pains 1 Obediently your's X. [We owe an apology to °X" for bavin? so long delayel insertion of his communication. He will a fiud his answer in the leader.—Eu. A.M.W.]
