THE NATIVE OFFICE.

Sir,— " Ingratitude" i»ys in JhU letter wbieh appeared in your paper yesterday, that " Justitia is *!raid and properly so, that if a change does not take place soon all the plums will be taken out of ihe pudding"—thereby acknowledging that the public purse is being plundered by a wasteful Natire Offi :e, winch ia all thit I hove b°en t yin» to shew, and yet h« is not aiham^d to expreM him -elf gui c *afei<fi'd with such a state of affura — asserting without one shadow of proof that others only wish to follow their examp c and ta ie their places "to divide the fragment* am >ngst their faithful and dmntereatrd ■upportor*. It it md • d time lor 'he country to take alarm and put the break upon the wheela when a supporter of the XMatue Office on make »uch a public confession. To try and follow hi* rigmarole would be useless— for he begtns.bj accu-ing me of simple wi hing to let the natives absolutely alone, and yet has ihe impudence 10 c include »ilh the assertion that "If 'Juauiia' had hii way he would kill half th.B natiTe* whi c forci/ig our new and improred new* down the throats of ihe other half." Hi* peivo lal- remarks about my religious ami m>ral charac er are qtaite uncalled for, and beneaihtny notice. — I am, Justitia.
