Reply to Mr Crawford.
•(To the Editor of the Times);
Sir,— Mr Crawford has a delightfully pleasant way of setting aside, dismissing, or getting round things that are unpleasant and difficult to answer, hence he says “ bark ” when he should say bite. The size of a dog never troubles mo if it only n barks,” it is whon he bites I feel tho unpleasantness of its teeth. Mr Crawford has yet to make good his position on the six points he took up. I claim to have driven him from Maine and Clutha, and beyond all doubt Mr Paterson has simply pulverised him and made a door-mat of every argument he has used. I have no doubt, sir, Mr Crawford could do justice to any subject on which there was a shred on which to base an argument or a leg to stand on, but ho has neither in this debate, henco his dilemma.—l am, mo., Fiiaxcis Staffobd.
