The following are the resolutions to be submitted at the Caversham meeting tonight—“ That those representatives who passed the Abolition Act were not elected to do so, and had no right to make any radical change in the constitution of the country, and the people of New Zealand are justified in resisting its being carried out.” “ That the abortive attempts of the Ministry to provide a measure of local Government have failed ; that it is not proper to apprehend a great constitutional change which has been impelled to its present course by a desire to pawn or sell the waste lands of the provinces,” ” That the sudden change, in opinion, which Wellington has often produced in some of our representatives, convinces us that one Central Government with a large place-dispensing power, tends to corruption.” “ That our representatives, Messrs Sutton and Burns, be thanked for their action on the separation question, and be requested to advise the other Otago members, in the event of their failing to preserve for us the independence we enjoy under provincial institution! s, to return to the province in a body, and we will support them in preserving our rights at all hazards.” Sales of National Insurance, £1 ss; Standard, 12s 6d ; Colonial Bank, £1 1 Is 6d.
