Popular government has Wn rendered impossible through theob.it ructivenusg of men who are the potitical enemies of the present administration. These men. although they have always sough", and are now seeking, their own ends, have neversucceeded in leading astray a "unibor of Colouists by professions of lioueßt intentions. Ralty round the cause °f squitable and vigorous government, and "frustrate tha knavish tricks" of professional politicians and potitical haters. It is not to the people's interest to permit Sir George Grey's policy to be dealt its death's blow. Now is the time t<> secure 'niu representation, or consent to be hrcmfor another term of years, to the Permanent injury of the Country. Fellow Sectors, do not pledge yourselves to any Wndidate until you see who intends to enter contest.
