MR MACANDREW AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir —I have just read the correspondence under the above heading in this evening’s filar. I am very much pleased with the Superintendent's reply to the requisition of a small portion of his Clutha constituents. I have not had the advantage of seeing the names attached to the requisition, but if those of the half-dozen of gentlemen to whom Mr Macandrew has addressed his reply may ho taken as a criterion, I have no hesitation in endorsing his statement, that **many of the names attached to the requisition are the names of those who have always been politically opposed to mo.” Indeed, I can state of my own knowledge that, of these six gentlemen, a majority are either near relatives or intimate friends and supporters of a gentleman who was formerly Superintendent of this Province, and who has always shown himself a declared and (which is more than can be said of some of his friends) a consistent opponent of Mr Macandrew. —I am, &c., J"* D.
