LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.
[To the Editor of the D_r_sr Telegbaph.] Sir,—l am glad to see that something is being done to stir up tbe ashes of tbe Liberal Association. I was one of the first to join that body after the last elections, and I did so in the hope that the Association would keep alive in tbe minds of the people those broad and liberal principles that had been bo grandly disseminated by our great leader Sir George Grey. But, Sir, to my intense disappointment, I found that so soon aa the elections were over the work of the liberals in this town was considered completed, and the Association dwindled down to half-a-dozen committeemen, who met in private, and consulted none but tbo?e who had been prominent supporters of Mr Buchanan. It must be now fully two years or more since a meeting of the members has been called, and although the office-bearers were only elected for twelve months theyhave inthemost autocratic manaer retained the reins of management in controversion of every principle they profess to admire.—l am, &c, J. M. S. Napier, July 18, 1881.
