Hawke's Bay Times. Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1870.

The telegrams we have recently pub" fished from the several districts of the Cohmv that candidates for the new parliament are looking ab,out them, and preparing against the contingency pf a contest. We hear of Mr Vogel in the North, and Mr Fox on the West Coast, addressing the respective constituencies they seek to represent; but so far as we havp yet learnt there is not thing either very striking or new in what they have brought forward. Mr Vogel, in addressing a mining constituency at the Thames, promised $0 try to get a portion of the sums voted for the construction of waterworks on expended in trjat district, Such an, appropriation would be somewhat foreign tp the intention qf the legislature, which made that expenditure a kind of balance for the Sonth to otherprojected, outlays in the North Island! As, however, this expenditure Spends upon the prior question of raising the loan in the English market, anc( as this is not a likely thing at preset, that, does not master much. Mr Fox's speech, so tar as the short telegram describes it, consists of $ justijpication of the policy of the Government, \o> wjjqm. he credit for the present paceabb aspect of native affairs.' Some-

thing «f thit> kind to be expected from him, but* it is at least questionable whether a contrary opinion cannpt reasonably be held on the subjects of vyfrich Jie speaks with so much confidence.
