THE DISSOLUTION.
To the Editor.
Sir,— There is one - feature in this Provincial Council disruption that has not yet been impressed upon the obstructionists, who usually occupy the Sp*aker’s left in the House, viz., they talk loudly about the Council being elected by the people; that they are equal in authority with his Honor, and that their will is equal with that of the Superintendent; but in their red hot haste they forget to sec that a creditable minority of the Council is with the Superintendent; consequently, as regards representation, the twenty-.seven or twenty-nine resisting and fearing a dissolution are in reality the minority, seeing that the most sensible and wealthy part of the Council is with his Honor in desiring to bring the test of the Province to their aid, and decide for once who wish the Province well, or who desire it to retrograde.—l am, &c., N. E. Y. Dunedin, May 23.
