(To'the Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sik,—lt is a pity ,that in, this 'quiet town there lives: such a! clown as the* > writer of those letters appearing in your issues of the 26th ultimo 1 and Thursday** evening last, trying to create a discordant • feeling between parties by his fulsome ami' abusive tirades.. He"; t styles . himself..a. "" Good Templar." He may be, and ii; so*' 1' he is a disgrace to an honorable orflerV.' whose motto is, "Do unto.others as you would jbe done by," He shriven bis spluttering and venomous spleen, on-Sir ' George Grey and Mr Speight for'directing the attention of the people to? the land abase in.lreland., He must be some hybridi admirer of the present so-called Liberal Government, and' is frightened 'the people of New Zealand wili be set thinking if they do not be up and doing, something to' put a stop to. the land , grabbing which' is going on • \liey may be " "in the position of the Irish tenant before very long. He therefore abuses those who would sljow them their danger; menw.hosa shoes he is not fit to brush. In youv last *°" issue he twits another Good Temper with Inconsistency. \Wliy, his^ own 'shows fclearly when writing about home, (he has that which he will not grant to anqther " fellow being). I don't think there is. - very much of the Samaritan about such a man. fie also tells him he will answer any questions which he may put to him* in . the Lodge-room. I should like to see hini" try that, and seer what reception would be > - given to the would be Brother, who holds out a fraternal hand in the Lodge by, , writing abuse of him in the public Press. I will not tell him to go home.-for, judging by his letter, it must be a haveu" of rest { for those there, but I will remind him that it is within the-bounds ol possibility if he were in the old country, judging by the snail-like and venomous disposition he' shows, he might be the willing tool of some rack-renting landlord who grinds'the vitals out oi his tenants, And spends in luxury in - anywhere but Ireland. I certainly agree with his remarks about the members of the next General Assembly for' good aids ' evil, though it is very easy seen he would ' be among the latter side. I will concludeby calling his attention to, (though 1 do. not thiuk.he is either an .English* Scotch, or Irishman), the motto of England'*■'highest orders, " Uoni &oit gui mal y peuse."-! aj« fee, • Vsni>ex.
