THE ABOLITION MEETING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —In common with many others who were present at last night's meeting, I have a very strong feeling that it was in many ways very unsatisfactory. It was hastily convened. I myself only heard of it accidentally about 6 p.m., as I was going home, and many must necessarily have been ignorant of it. It was quite plain to me that the hall had been packed by the provincial party, who are so deeply concerned personally in this question, and are therefore acting under the keen stimulus of personal interest. Confident I am that the result of this meeting does not at all represent the feeling of the majority of the people of Wellington. I therefore think it is only fair to the citizens that the Mayor should give them another chance of calling another meeting, of which due and timely notice shall be given. This is only right; for whatever is really the feeling of tliis city, nothing should go forth to the colony as the opinion of the capital, except that which really and truly is beyond doubt such.—l am, &c, Fair Play.
