At a meeting of the Political Association, last night, the .following resolution was adopted :—^ 'That this Committee believes the letter of Messrs. Fish, Cargill, and others totally misrepresents the public feeling of the people of Dunedin and the Province generally, and considers it necessary to request the city representatives to leave the Assembly, and meet in public meeting assembled, in order to satisfy themselves as to the state of public feeling, and also to provide for the worst by concerting means for our own protection, through the medium of the Provincial Council or otherwise ; but that, in our opinion, before leaving the.Assembly they should make it deafly understood that, whatever measures-■ affecting the welfare of the people may be agreed to, they will not undertake that such measures shall be respected by the people of this Province."
