A.S will be seen by a report in another column, t'tajor Jackson addressed his constituents at Ohaupo jn Thursday. We wish that the event had enlightened i\.i «i litt'o more than it has on the political situation. Alter Mr Vogel's expi'ession in reference to the pro»ineial question, " If alf a loaf is better than no bread," v.\d icifoieaco to the poverty of the provinces, and in c mseopenco the propriety of their being disposed • A', tliora is nothing left to criticise. Tho Major told us J»o had done his best for the district. Wo believe liim sincrcly ; it is a pity, however, that he could '.ot HI us sometliing about what it is proposed to ;.ulvj'..ilute for Provincial Governments. As he very j.ssily said, until the Bill is before the Houso he 'ird not know which way he would vote. We differ j'iom him as regards his voto on the abolition question. Had he been able to tell us where the funds \/orc to come from to put our institutions in the jlou rishing condition foretold by Mr Vogel, ho v oliM have solved that which is a mystery at vpreP "lit. We see nothing for it but special taxation iiiijxjii^d by tho Assembly to cany on local institution.-. This would not be altogether objectionable -wore it not, that the Southern mernbsrs will have No powor of interfering with the management oj .o:;r domestic affairs, and imposing special taxation 5 » i.if'tt cur.ient expenses.
