MR EDGELER’S REPLY.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Will you kindly give me space in your valuable paper to say a fewwordß in answer to Union's criticism of my letter. I would advise him to read more carefully before he begins to criticise. If he reads my letter again he will see that I said " the wonderful, great politicians in this locality." Now I wish Union and all others to understand that I never rush into print without duo caution or strict inquiry about anything which I write, and I did so in this instance. I was informed that the Union had written to Mr Buxton. Now to ascertain the truth I did, in the presence of the gentleman that told me so, ask Mr T. Buxton if the Union had written to his father. He said ho did not know. The gentleman said " I heard they have." Mr T. Buxton s.iid "Oh, very likely. I know he has received a letter." Then Union goes on referring to my sense of hearing, and says it must be a heavenly gift, behe hag np|j heard it. Doeß Union, fihink no pre. speaks, o.f the union qnly in his presence. I think, it is he that has, the. heavenly gift to he everywhere and heap everything as he thinks he should. Now one thing I thank Union for, that is tlio aasur-anoe. that they will support the pveseut Government, and I may say tlioy have my best wishes m$ supgojt W all their just undertakings, jnow, as to thefe Prohibitionists or Good Templars, whi§h ever they like to term themselves, qj; both if they wish, I may say I viewed the Re'y. Mr pellpw, and frojn. what passed at that interview, jie being pne qi the leading naen, J formed my conclusions, ag to whq,t | have writhe?}, The General EJeptjqn beiijg pup of affairs of Stafgj jt concerns everyone, oven the" babe \n the cradle, ft is pot one person's business, but everyone's business.
