OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING MAIL. Sir, —Has not the time arrived when our members should give an account of their action in Wellington, and point out to the electors what they accomplished, or sought to accomplish, during their long sojourn in the empire city ? If they have nothing of any political importance to communicate, they may at least give a description of their personal experience while there, the salient characteristics of the town, the peculiarities which airested their attention, and a reason for the hope it is still supposed they cherish—the resuscitation of Provincialism. Should such addresses fail to exercise any political influence, they will at all events afford a cheap and interesting kind of amusement. One of our members, it appears, could amuse, if not instruct, the House of Representatives, and, to acquit himself of the charge of ingratitude, should certainly confer the same boon on his constituenta —I am, etc., Elector. Kakanui, Feb. 8, 1877.
