THE PIAKO SWAMP.
Hamilton, June 20 Large meetings are being held in every township in the Waikato in favor of the Government retaining office for the settlement of the Abolition question. At Hamilton a most influential meeting carried a resolution to the effect that the Opposition had broken its pledge in bringing forward a side-wind motion in place of a motion for repeal of the Abolition Bill; also that the occupation of the Piako Swamp by a company was a very unmixed benefit to the district, as it could not be occupied by small settlers. Meetings at Cambridge, Tewamutu, and Alexandra passed similar resolutions.
