THE NEXT ELECTION.

TO niK EPirOH. Sin,— l fieo in Tuesday's paper that Mr Graham is going to stand for tho W.aipa. I infer from this that Mr Lake is not going to offer himself for our acceptance. Tarn sorry fur tin*, for I think Mr Ltke a H.ife and sound politician w ith a fair share of understanding and common i-eme, quite differont altogether from yo\ir stump politician, who has nothing in him but vanity and ignoiance. Tho greater his ignorance, the greater his nonsense. One thing of Mr Lake, lie has not acted tho toady to us, nor has ha officiously brought bofore us little thmgH and paraded them as something wonderful. Thi« is tho greatness of Hinall mind*. Mr Wliitakor lv« political knowledge and was tho right man in the right place, but no thanks to him as his father was and is a political man of long and varied experience, and our Mr Wlntakcr in a manner served an apprenticeMhip to political matters, so that when \\<* got him ho was a journeyman. Now Mr Whitaker does not Hocin to mako any move as if lie again was going to offer himself, and it theroforo becomen v«, tho electors, to look out for the best man wo can get. Now Mr Editor I have always thought that if we could prevail on lomo man to bo our membor, ono who did not want to bo, but by begging him and persuading him that it wan his duty to bo our member ; if we could get such a man we would be blessed. Don't you «cc, Mr Kditor, if any of our tin-pot political wiseacres m their wisdom, or rather ignoranco, wore bothering li'in with their absurd nostrums ho could tell them, as he could afford jto tell them, to bo off with their nonsense. Ho could just ring tho boll nnd dr*sire tho servant to nhow this man out. Hut if you have a man who is high in vanity— if such a man in our member, ho will nncrifico everything to his vanity. In his \ am desire to bo our member overything good must knucklo undor to it. Now wo h.vvo a man in our constituency who, when asked some years ago to bo our member, plainly mud no, that he would rather do three months in tho infernal region"?. Now ho would bo a proper momber for uh. Besides, ho is not poor, and there is no denying that this tine country has been sadly mismanaged nnd wholly owing to ha\ mg poor members and too extended a fianchise. — I am, >Sir, yours obediently, Haimprpk. Harapopo, Nov. .10.
