PARTUEIUNT MONTES, &c.
To ihb Edit ok of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir, — The great Provincial job is done, The fight is fought, the battle won. The mountain so long in labor has brought forth its mouse, though .at a somewhat heavy cost to the province, and the cost I imagine is not done with yet. If the peo-. pie of Nelson don't find out before another year is over, that they, have been completely done, and that they have paid too dearly for this little stranger; which has cost their representatives so much already, so much in talking, so much in bickerings, passions, strifes, cross purposes, &c, it will be well for them. Now that the little stranger has made its appearance among us, it will require so many keepers to feed and keep it alive, and these keepers will all have to be kept by a generous public, and as each menber will have a cEanceTn turn" of sharing in the spoils, they ■will do their best to keep the little stranger alive and kicking; but unhappily, this little mouse, brought into the world at so much cost and labor, turns out to be a hermaphrodite, and can neither work nor be worked; still, it will be for its keepers a pretty little plaything. Yours, &c, No Lover of Mice.
