KINOHAKU FARMERS’ UNION.
(to the editor.) Sir,—f see in your issue of the 35th ult, an interesting but belated letter from a fentleman who by the tone of the letter i« apon the apex of respectability. [ am sorry to see any rational being impute aril and personal motives to the members of the Unjou, but no doubt he ia, through %n aggrieved and distorted vision, like the man that ia rash enough to look at the rut. aui for ever after he is the spor of -mvq phantasm.-: »f his letter hid been r to oue persm it w .nil proha If S «»m by picking it up with the to-igs snl pnt-iig it into the fir->, but eorueoatin.' as it ions wi h malice against clian a id rasDecsed men in pab’ie opinion (vide tLefr onsitim) it cannot be lot ptsa without a word i n fence. Because a public body has neglected one, and that one his’->st nn opportunity of denouncing the Union, he has the nec< be, like the little hov that han missal the fire, in a harry to get foremost int» ail public f unctions carrie ionan i pal 4 far by the body he denoaa and then to vent his personal feeling writes a letter th it is m void of truth as its writer see ningly is of principles, end' then cilia it ventitsHat p-ahtic opiai >n.
