MOUNT BENGER ELECTION. (To the Editor.)
Sir, —ln your issue of the 17th inst. appears a letter from Mr. John Beighton in reply to Mr. Mackay's, and the grossucss and virulence displayed therein render it obnoxious both on the score of taste and truthfulness. Mr. Beighton winds up his learned and gentlemanly attack in a manner pecnliarily his own. He relieves himself for "the time being by introducing to the public (as a palliative to his wounded feelings) a copy of a resolution proposed at a meeting of the Progress Committee, which I beg leave to state was not taken the slightest notice of, as the other members of the Committee as well as myself could plainly see the drift of the proposer and seconder. 1 - disclaim any hostility to Mr. Beighton, but I do believe in a straightforward action. If Mr. Beigbton had contested the election on his own merits, instead of relying on the enthusiasm of his personal friends and the prejudices of party feeling, he might have succeeded to the coveted position of M.P.C, although the result ■of the election shews that the man of our choice has been returned. —l am, &c, A Member of the Progress Committee. Roxburgh, July 20.
