Mr Arkwright's Withdrawal
That Mr 4 bkwkight should have found it necessary to wi hdraw from tiie contest for the Enngitikei seat is much to be regn'tted. In another column we publish his letter to the electors, in which he states the causes which have compelled him to retire from the field, and, after its i perusal, our readers will be compelled to admit that Mr Abkwbight had no other course open to him. Although our sympathies are with Mr Stevens in the present contest, yet we must confess we had a strong leaning to Mr Aekwhight. His clear, manly, and statesmanlike speech, as delivered to the Marton rlector* at the inception of the contest, showed that he was in every way qualified fo represent any constituency in the colony, with honor to himself and profit to the electors. He has not only sound opinions on the principal political questions of the day, but the courage to express them We are convinced that if at any future time Mr Arkwuigut should offer himself for the suffrages of the electors of any constituency on the West Coast, he will be returned to the House by an overwhelming majority. True manliness and honor always command the respect of true men.
