CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the Hawlce's Bay Tunes. Sir, — I agree with you in your remarks on the late elections —that “ this cold indifference to the result of the election is had and indicates an unhealthy and disordered state of the electoral body."’ And I fear wo shall find, that just the very fifteen men we had most desired to see anywhere but in the Council have stept in to our undoing. But now, Sir, that Mr. Colenso has resigned, the electors of the Town should be wary whom they elect to the vacant seat. Let some really useful man be thought of and proposed. Let them keep a good look-out and beware of signing requisitions and of promising their votes beforehand to anybody or nobody. Plenty of time, no need to be in a hurry about it, as I suppose a new writ will have to come down from the Governor before the election can take place. It will be of little use making Mr. McLean, or any other'serviceable man, Captain, if the electors don’t give him an able crew. Apologising, I remain, &c.. Observer. January 20, 1803.
