THE OTHER SIDE.

Now, I wish to say that I am not a Blip, porter of the pro -en t Gove nmenb. 1 h-ive TOted agaiust I heir candidate, but 1 kno»v well thht if Justiiit and hs colleagues j did manage to get I hose that are in power out, and those that are out in, it would only be shifting (he weight from one hand to the other, with various modificitiona or additions at those in p »wer think necessary ; for we know that ths Opposition have a new Native Minuter all ready il they sucoerd. No, no, Justilia is afraid, and properly so, that if * change do not Uke place soon, all the plums Will be »»ken out of the pudding, «nd the Opposi'ionaa EUccesgo-s will have only the f agroents to divide nnnngit their faithful and disinterested supporters. Justitia alto sneart at the result of tho Native Policy, yet if he will, he muit recollypt what a number of years the native difficulty haa be-n an insurmount ible drawback io the North Island, «nd (ipecinlly to thh dislnc, bo »hnt lettle^nert eou.d not adranc* j yet s uce the nalire question was intiuitedJoSir Donald McLean it. has steadily improved At fir*t there were regular panics, and the •ettlers «ere all ormed, and had to p trade, ond occasionally live in the bloc<h<u*e*. 1 was one of them Then th« panics gradually died out, the arms were given in, nod in the rapid progress of tho Wnikuto, we have almo»t forgotten that such a ifuto oi things eviTfxiHied.
