Notices to Correspondents.
"John "Wood." Eeceived too late for insertion in this issue. " Albert Potter." Ditto. "JH Smith." We believe the resolutions adopted at the meeting at Hamilton on Saturday evening have been telegraphed to Major Jackson. " Waiting to be Corrected." The term " alarm " appears to us to be unnecessarily strong. In the Hamilton memorial the phrase used is " surprise and disappointment." We think these terms are more applicable than either of those y»u mention, but of the two we prefer the word " disapprobation," At the same time the gross injustice to Waikato, which is contemplated in the Representation Bill, may well excite fear of danger to our political rights and privileges. The word " alarm ' comes from the French word "alarme" — fe^ fright, and in English implies sudden surprise with fear. By common usage it has come to mean also mental apprehension of approaching danger, it may be to otheri, and therefore it does not always «arry with it the idea of fear of personal harm. " A Lover of Peace." Enclose your real name in itrict confidence.
