“The Press” In 1866
June 29 THE SESSION.—The lists are again open, and the Southern champions are taking their way to Wellington, to display their prowess on behalf of the towns of districts as whose representatives they are to appear in the melee. It has been our custom on former occasions to prepare our readers for the avalanche of debates, despatches and parliamentary papers with which for the next two months they may expect to be more or less continuously overwhelmed, by commencing with a sketch of the political state of tfe* colony, the position
and probable tactics of the different parties or leaders in the House, and the principal subjects likely to come under discussion and to be big with the fate of Ministers, . . . But the present session opens under very different circumstances. The war in the North has died away, and, with the exception of a slight temporary excitement about Separation, no great public question has been agitating the colony. There is no one subject on which opinions are divided, and which may be looked forward to as affording a battle ground for contending parties.
