THEN AND NOW.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —There was a time when we had a little knot of statesmen known as the three F.’s, who defended the interests of Wellington, and exercised powerful influence on colonial affairs. Wellington has now four B.’s., who support a Government pledged to the dismemberment of the colony, the revival of provincialism, and the consequent removal of the seat of Govern meat ! Alliteratively the three I'Ve may represent Friends or Force ; the four B/s—Themselves or Bunkum.—l am, &c., X.X.X, To Aro, August 24.
