MR. ORMOND AT NAPIER.

Mb Oemnod met his constituents at Waipawa on Wednesday evening. His speech is a lengthy one, and, as might be expected, strongly denunciatory 7of the Government policy. Alluding to their policy he said :— rThe Government has made no definite statement of policy on the part of the Ministry, except m a speech, delivered by Sir G. Grey at the Thames. The greater portion of that speech was devoted to subjeots which he would not refer to, but there were two points worthy of notice. Sir George first announced that an attempt to create a spurious aristocracy m the colony was being made. Reading further, it appeared that this "burning question" concerned the title "honorable," which had 'been conferred by the Queen on two retired Judges. He (Mr Ormond) thought more important matters than such trifling rubbish were likely to occupy the House next session. The next " burning question', was that of separation from England. Tho colony was thoroughly loyal, and there was no cry for separation. The question was not really agitated at all, but merely came to the surface because it was thought that Sir George had slighted the Mooquis of Normonby, and the people of Dunedin took occasion to show that they did not agree with these studied slights." At the conclusion of the speech, a vote of confidence m Mr Ormond was carried by acclamation.
