For his, information, however, I may state that I- have made a per-, sonal canvass, am now making it, and will make it tintil I assure the permanent sucr cess of the scheme. He will know that what 1 put my hand to I will perform if I can ; and in the success of this enterprise-1 have set my.earnest hope 3. ~ It would, however, bo a niere waste of time for me to call upon mean spiritless wretches, such as'he has proved/ himself to me to Be, to further, when a penny is demanded, the iiiter.ests of this district. All- he- wants; and all he has done i^todrag away as much as hecan get. I have been busy, and have adopted such measures a*, in my opinion, tend to the, best interests of the Company; and at no time has the success of the great Race bceiv so thoroughly assured" as at this moment.; The, motive of "Scrutator" in writing as'He did is aijparenfc ; it will not at present gain his end. lobject to personal attackY when one party, from his position,; .can shelter himself under m alias, and in any future correspbn- ■ dence beg him to sign himself with his "proper signature.
