fiontre.s, and explaining my political views m detail.

Though that Ministry has no doubt made mistakes, I believe the leading members of-Hit have on the whole worked honestly according to .their lights for the good of the Colony at large, and that especially (hey have tried to proiM»te the prosperity of the country districts, by liberalising the land laws, and by their scheme for the. construe-'---tiou of roads. and bridges,', the partial failure of which through want of funds is "attributed to causes beyond the ; control, of any Government. - ••■ V\ I cannot, however, agree with Mr Rolleston's projected scheme of perpetual leasing, or with what it is now the fashion to call 'Vthe'nationalization of the Jam!.'" -Let the Crown lands be leased. on the easiest terms compatible with due provision for survey and loadinaking, but, as 'under the piesent Act,; let a- purchasing clause alwayibo granted after a lair proportion of improvement has been made by the leaseholder. The truest nationalization of the landj I hold, is to.settle it with freeholders m nioderately-sizexL blockgj trusting 1 for revenue to the development of the resources of the country caused by such settlement, rather than to rents extracted by a Qentral Government/ StaW tenantry.-' *' : " ' I agree generally iwith the Native policy Qf v the A v tkjin.spn Ministry, md especially so with Mi?
