Dunedin, Friday, THE CONVENTION.
j Favorable replies to the Convention Circular are coming in from many quarters. The Times having asked what is intended tube done, the Guardian answers: "If the convention did nothing else, it would mark its abhorrence of the Governor's partisan action, and originate a memorial to the Queen, denouncing his conduct and praying his recall. The Convention should unfurl the flag of Separation ; should gird itself to fiction, not only by memorial signed by every resident in Otago, acquiesces in movement, but'by delegates' in person should lay at • the foot of the Throne a protestation of the intense repugnance of the people to being robbed of their privileges and constitutional rights ; and an earnest request that Otago should be elected into a separate Colony or Federated Province, with power to manage its own internal concers, and it should at once proceed to form a Provisional Government to take charge of the administration of it 3 affairs, until the result of such direct appeal as to Imperial Govern-, meat is known."
