Sir— Your correspondent whose letter apppsred in Saturday's issue, and who sigcs himself " One who was present, 3 ' endeavors to show (hat the Reform Association had taken up the matter of the County Council electk-n. Surh was not the case. A few of Mr^Ligbtband's friends, knowing that, in following: hi 3 business he went into nearly every nook and corner of three or four of the Kidings, and therefore would be a more valuable member of the Council than Mr Bird, invited him to come forward, but as for working hard, Mr Ligbtband is too independent a centleman to go trotting from door to door asking for support. With regard to the Wakefield branch of tbe Reform Association hpirtr misririrnpd, if it should be called the An?i Snephaid League, how is it that Mr W. White sbon'd have allowed himself to be nominated the Chairman, and Mr J. Honeywill enrolled as a member. The fact is, if tou cannot bow to their god, Mr Shephard, fc'aey tell you yau are acfuatsd by spite. I em, &c, W. Paixtox.
