TO TUB ■ EDITOR OF THE MAA'AWATU HBitALD. Si :,—l read in your articlo on Fox toil or i'aluierstou us tlie terminus for tlw Wellington liue, •' 1 hat you oeheved Fieldiug, ntt a whole was passive on the question." I can from my own knowledge endorse that opinion, wiiu the notable exceptions of Messrs Hulcunibe and Atacarthur, those Biauiurckiuu diplomatists that cover their real deuign* from hoodwinked Palinerstoii, and seek, under cover of a railway for the convenience of nineteen sonln iu Fitzhorbert block, to add more and more glory to the cupitai of Manawatu —Fkildihg. The vriy rney have worked, and are working the oracle, is amusing to an outside observer. It suits them to make a bosom friend of the Editor, who only a few days siuce belaboured them with the ttbillolah of his penmanship. They wero a* duty dust, over which he snorted and tramped his fiery hoofs. The very pug nose of MagufEa was observed to elevate itself skyward when one of those gentlemen came to windward of him. Now, " All is not lost," echoes through the Manawutu Timed, and it is "My dear friend Halcombc (professor of the Jenuit policy, * The end justifies the means'), goon; I will veil tliy deed*; no living soul that lets duylight iu where darkness should reign, shall survive tho scathing denunciation of of my pen." Wuitulit, find see if in another few days the rivals do not, like naughty children, fall out ai-d chide and fight. I am, &c, Magi; 1*73*8 OiiiKKVEii. January 29. —
