The Star publishes the following text of a petition in course of signature in the Southern portion of the province :—" First, that as proved by the result of the recent elections, there exists in the province of Otago a strong belief that the abolition proposals of the present Government were premature, illadvised, and likely to be prejudicial if given effect to ; second, that your memorialists consider sub-section 2 of clause 25 of the Abolition Act prohibiting the assembly of the Provincial Councils arbitrary, unconstitutional, and amounting to a virtual disfranchisement of provincial constituencies ; third, that your memorialists believe that in the present circumstances of the country a meeting of the Provincial Councils (which might take the shape of a convention) is absolutely necessary, there being many matters of pressing importance requiring consideration pending the ratification or repeal of the Abolition Act. The memorialists would therefore request your Honor the Superintendent to convene a meeting of the members of the Provincial Council at the usual time. They do so feeling assured that otherwise the trade, settlement, and the interest of the public will otherwise greatly suffer." Dunedin, March 6.
