SOUTH WARD ELECTION.

(To the Editor of the Eyjsnino Stab.) Sib, —Is it not strange that after 8d many years of a Borough Council that it should hare got into such a delectable mess as it now presents before the amazed burgesses. We have had combined the English, Irish, and Scotch element as our Councillors, but these cooks have managed to so over-cook the join fc that it is<Q spoiled entirely, and is scarcely eatable. Must it be cast to the pigs, or is there any remedy P Are there none that will come to the rescue ? Well, sir, it is equally strange that in this dilemma two foreigners are seeking election for the South Ward; both very decent fellow*, and men of ability. Which is the best? that is the question. I say try the descendant of the renowned Jacob; he has proved himself to have the true grit in him at our late Parliamentary Union, and would make a good Councillor. Stfffdes this, it is proverbial that in all countries where these sons of Jacsb hare had fair-play, they have always shot ahead of the Gentiles, and in council have proved themselves men of luperior ability ; is it not a fact that at the present moment they hold the purse strings of all Europe, and will soon do so of all Aiia also ; and as statesmen they hare had but few equals in the world. Our own Julius proved himself a statesmen by his public works scheme, but it fell into the hands of a parcel of mercenary Gentiles to carry it; out, hence the scheme was burked, and we are all suffering the consequences of these burking and bungling mercenaries! not because of the scheme itself. Just so the Borough Council; from bungling and shortsightedness it has come to what it is. Therefore I say to the burgesses, try the foreign element—try Wood, he cannot do worse, but is very likely to do much; better.—l am, &c, Obsebtee.
