ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE

[We arc at all times ready (ogive expression to every shade of opinion, but in no case do wo hold ourselves responsible for the sentiments of our correspondents.] (TO THE EDITOR OB’ THE PATEA MAIL). Mr. Eadeatkr, — I am going to rite you a few lines on leading pollytislmns. Like ’■ New Chum’s.” my letter may bo a looco rambling production, but yon ma bet on the spelin being korcct, as my old skol master was grate at spelin, and pc pel sa I'm a kredit to him. I kant think win they kail you managers of nnsepapers, cadcalcrs. Praps peopel in old limes thout that n use paper konductors sucked every bodies brancs to 111 the coining or their nnsepapers, and for this rcson kalled them cadeaters. I think a deal of that Patea publik meet in, it was a grate politikal mectin, and like the mountain in labor, produced a mouco, that moucc being Sir Seame’s rcsolushim. What branes lie must have. If he studied the American sislcin, however, his views mite alter a littel. Southboy. 100, must hav com from far youth, or he woudnt hav had sense to second that grate resolnshun. Captain Kills I sc was furst chare man of tho bord ; he’s a brav old sogicr. I supo.se thats win they caled him Kills, becaua it is a solgicrs dul'i to kill his enemies, and being used to kil, he didnt lak long to kill Mi’ Scame’s resol uslmn. Now we hero they hav made a new chareman of Mr Shcerwood. Shearwood, means. I believe, all wood. I saposc af wun deliuition of bord is a pice of sawn wood, the members probably thout it most appropriate to give it a wooden head. Som sa Mr Dale would have filled the chare hctcr. as he is a biger man. The definition of the word dale is a hollow in woodland senery. Probably the members were alTade they mite be found falte with, if they put any thing hollow at their head. As there arc a grate many Natives in this distrikt. some sa they out to be represented in the kouncil. Probably the bord thout the interests of their dark brethern had been overlokcd. and for this reason elected a Black man as clerk to the kouncil. lam afradc I ma be takin up tu much of ner spase with this rambeling cpistol. so wi! kunklndc for the prcccnt.—And romano, yours. &e..
