ST. BATHANS.
(From a correspondent.) 3rd, 1875. Mr. Chapman addressed the electors of this place in the schoolroom on Friday night. I was not on my usual rounds'on that night, and so did not hear him, but have heard from some who were present he was attentively listened to, and that there ii an air of candour about him which tells you that he means what he says; but the people are not convinced that his doctrine is the right one. For instance, when he declares himself an "Abolitionist," and yet an "Anti-Cen-tralist" they are puezled, and he explains the matter by saying he would have the country cut up into so many " Shires " "each to have local self control," &c, &c. We are expecting a visit from Mr. de Lautour soon, and after hearing his views 1 have no doubt but that the electors will dccide«impartially betwern the rival candidates, and if ho deserves it (as I think he does already), they will give the profferenco to their old representative.
