SIR G. GREY’S STUMPING TOUR.
The Australasian in an article severely criticising Sir George Grey’s New Plymouth speech commences by saying osophic mind” to most men have had a contrary effect upon Sir George Grey; who is sowing his political tvild bats at a time of life in which statesmen usually review the errors of their early career; and correct the delusions of youth by the ripe experience and matured judgment of old age. The Premier of New Zealand is now stumping the Northern island, and talking bombast to “ tho people” as glibly as if he had graduated among the Chartists of Glasgow or Clerkeriwell upwards Of 30 years ago. At New Plymouth, on the Bth February; he indulged in an bratidri which might have been delivered, with very few alterations, to a, meeting of the unemployed in Tompkiris-square, New Y nrk; or to ail assemblage of the Kearney faction, at the foot of Nob’s-hill in Sari Francisco.
