ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Wo arc a! all ! lines ready to give oxpr<;«ion to iivitv -hade of opinion, but in no ease do wo bold o!ii ,; c!vc * responsible for "die sen; n rents of oar correspondents.’] KG MONT KKF/TfOX. (to T;tt: tiniTor me ntr. patka itii .) Slit.-—I was rather amused on re i Pug the issue of your pip w oil SatinM pv ' to notiee the requisition to Mr 1-’. Maguuv, asking him to allow himself: to h-* iroiiuated as a e mdid-ite for the Kgm. >ut Assembly, and Ins reply to the sane(winch by the way im surely imv.-r could have wrote). Mv n-ison for writing to you on this occasion is lor t.he purpose of challenging ilic g mumeness of dm (•••- qifisif ion. It appears in print tu it i i cloctoi-s named, and 43 others sign M tU • me. it have also bam staled loaf thus ; names were all obtains; loudside of Gad vie. I. iiavc very good reason to doubt (hj • statemM-t t.ii ai. ,od c'cctors sign.-'I lim requisition. Hid Mr Maguire published the lirst Jen iiiim '-s' that were placed in dm requisition. ami then said so many other-:, it would have !o dead a little better,' but when ha picked the.' names that appcir from the din'er-nl parts of the requisiiiou ho surely could not have thought that the oilier 43 could do much to iniluaneo his election. If Mr Maguire redly got the number of electors to sign bis requisition that he stales, 1 consider he has Healed his supporters in such'a lu'au'ucr that will not be easily be forgotten by thorn on some future occasion. I will now ask Mr Maguire to publish the names of the other 43 electors who signed the requisition and if on tin; score' of expense Im, objects to do so. if lie will leave the advertisemenl, at your ollice, 1 will pay the cost of dm same, and if he refuses to do so lie must, expect to bo treated as a political charlatan.
