THE HUNDREDS REGULATION ACT.
To the Editor. Sir, —By last'night’s issue of your paper, I observe, with natural amazement, that the pqor uian ! s Government has, in an evil hour, sealed its own doom, in the eyes of every consistent man, by granting Clarke’s application for 45,000 acres, at actually 15s 6d per acre. Talk not to me, henceforth of consistency j for, as Emerson says, “ it is a fool’s word.’’ Declaim no more to me about settling the country with an industrious peasantry—“ their country’s pride” ; for, such phrases in the mouths of such men as now misgovern Otago, are the emptiest declamation. It is insult ad led to injury, in so far as the working man is concerned, 0 t mpora! 0 Mores. —l am, &c. J. G. S. Grant.
