SIR GEORGE GREY.

To the Editor of the Olo'oe.

Sib, —The old man, eloquent but insincere, informed us on Saturday that his only connection with the Tories had been the offerdaring a visit to his aged uncle of a seat m the Tory interest for Nottingham, or should he prefer it, for several other places. Now, Sir, this fact speaks for itself. Would any such offer have been made had not Sir George Grey’s whole public life, extending over some thirty years, clearly shown to which party he belonged, and that the Tories had the right to claim him. Sir George, however, having as usual quarrelled with his superiors, found that a change of front in his political views would suit his purpose, and therefore suddenly became ultra-Liberal, and contested several seats in that interest. English constituencies, however, evidently preferring consistent representatives, notwithstanding his acknowledged Services as great pro-Consul and despotic Colonial Governor, rejected him, so, having fallen between two stools, and being out in the cold, he returned to the colony to redress the wrongs of the human race in general, and his own in particular, by becoming, if possible, the first elective Governor of New Zealand, and cutting the towrope that connects us with old England. Tours, &c., ANTI-HUMBUG.
