Mr VoGEI, is now Premier of iVew Zealand; he is in the position ili.it, his mental capacity ci titles him to hold I Cow much it ia to be ivi^rette I that intellectuality and prudence me not. eon.bin.d in the man of the day ' He has conceived the idea? by which this co'ony is to flout into the spheres t > which all countries aspire, or to become the jest of all civilized people. He, perhaps, feels it hard that he has not succeeded m establishing in the people of New Zealand the same, respect for his prudence aa ho lms as tot* his abil.ty. He has learned that to make con tt acts hastily is not a safe road to popularity — may he never forget the lesson Kesponeibility ha 1 * hitherto apparently sat lightly on Mr Voxel's shoulders. Ho now holds the highest and most honorable position that is possible to a colonist ; ho id now, as he lias long actually been, leader of his party, or perhaps a-, regards theoiy. we should be justified in saying of both Houses. If we could con\ ince ourselves that elevation will have the elloct of reducing the sanguine tempetauient of our Premier, we shouli hail his accession to the throne us calculated to prove one of the bright spots in .New Zealand history. We, however, in common with the rest of the population, are unable to do so ; it is therefore not difficult to foretell, with u moderate degree of certainty, that the .Ministry cannot long stand alter the meeting of Parliament. Wo previous to its becoming known that Mr \ oge.l was Premier, predicted this. A general election must iv&ult; wo iniht ihen not allow ourselves to be cartie.l away by the "catchcries " of parties. The inhabitant* ol the Waikato must come manfully forward and send to the Kmpire city a man worthy to repie-k'iit them ; a man who can command respect in I lie 'lonse as well as in the small carle of his personal friends.
