POUT CHALMERS MAYORAL ELECTION.
To the Editor. Sin, —By the simple insertion of the word “who,’’ your printer’s devil lias not only succeeded in making the opening sentence of my former letter ungrammatical, but has entirely altered the meaning of what I had written. By referring to my manuscript (supposing it to be still in existence), you will find that it is the authors of “ the series of letters,” and not the “ asjnrant to the office of Mayor,” who are alluded to as “ showing symptoms of a ‘ mind diseased.’”
I will feel obliged by your inserting this explanation—as, whatcr may be my opinion of the intellectual powers of the gentleman in i|uestiou, it would evidently be foreign ot
my purpose to credit him with the extenuating circumstance of mental aberration.— 1 am, <tc., A Hater of Humbug. Port Chalmers, July 10th, 1872.
