OUR FUTURE MEMBER.

We commend the following observations from onr Feilding contemporary to the careful consideration of, our leaders :-"We hav'ehaU bitler experience of the folly and error of being 1 repre°ented by a man who looked upon his constituents as merely necessary tools, to be used, when occasion requiredjtd provide him with I a seat and place m Parliament. "Vjftth a niember wko is also, a resident m j *he electorate, -such ' a condition of things would be almost impossible, becanse he would J>e_aiways accessible t > the electors. We believe that; any I other than 1 a local man who ventured to contest the Manawatu seat, even i the redoubtable Sir J> lius VoaEii himself, would be defeated, . so firmly | resolved are the electors, to' havp '"a | man of their own;" The requisitions j Which have been signed asking Mr I MftOARTHUK! ' to f epreseht the Manaiwatu contain the names of niany inifluenfcial electors who are^pjedged to use every endeavor to secure his election. Should Mr Magajltrvr be returned,, \y^are convinced that he ,wj,H imake a most useful member of the JHouse. He has a thotough knowledge of every part of the electoral (district and ia acquainted with the {requirements of every^ section c%.,t_hG jconrmunity. ■ "i.'&bo ye ? all, ; he has $m> courage of his opinions, and would maintain them 1 with all his might and\ power." , .<'-'■■ ; ,--: ■
