The ition of public affairs at the present time. Pencil that we may appropriate with a Irfference of a word a famous declaration— Auckland "expects that every man shall do Vqduty" (Loud clieers-) I tr"st that rt rvoneof you will bind yourselves into a Imrni'tee to' support Sir George Grey,— or ot if V°u thinl; that "Ot r' ght in his views ' Every man should do his duty in MDing to return members to help him if tou believe his opinions are sound. Let Lrvone, whatever be his opinion, give him fair hearing, and afterwards use his dis cretion whether he approves or disapproves ! [ t ]j e policy which Sir George drey shall set forth. (Cheers.) Sir George Grey, on coming forward to address the electors, was again received with lond and prolonged cheering. He said :— j[ r . Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, electors of Auckland City West-—to whom it is my peculiar duty to address myself this evening,-! will begin by recalling to your recollection one or two circumstances which j, ave bound us together. I was living in retirement, having no thought or intention of joain taking part in public affairs, when atyoßT call I came forth from that retire jurat. (Bear,) 1 obeyed at once the call which you made. (Cheers.) L am very thankful that I did so, because .1 believe it would be a base thing on the part of any man at times like those prevailing at the present moment to have shrunk from any duty to which he was called by his fellow citizens. (Loud cheers.) You did me, per haps, one injury, because I can assure you, the other day, when I sought for a few days' rest, I could hardly forgive myself for In dulging in tranquillity, even for the few hours that I spent in my own home. Your kind ness to me impressed me so strongly with ihe conviction that the noblest thing a man can do is to serve his fellow-men, that [ did not like, even for those few days, shrinking from any service of that kind. (Hear, hear.) Bat you did me one or two great benefits also. In the first place, you returned me ! unanimously; in the next place, it was a large and important constituency which thus returned me—one of the largest and most important in the colony. That constituency placed me in a position, that was a very great advantage to me—they desired nothing for themselves. It was not neces sary for me to get any road, or any bridge, or to try to get any job performed for them. (Hear.) They sent me on their behalf to serve my fellow-colonists, and not to obtain any advantage for them. (Cheers.) You can well perceive the .position of indepen dence in which their behaviour in this re spect at once placed me. Ko one could pos- I sdbly think that any vote I gave was | influenced by any desire of gaining anything J for the constituency that sent me to the j House of Assembly. I was entirely inde j pendent. I was independent myself from .|j fortunate circumstances and by position. I was, as your representative, thoroughly inde j pendent as a member of the General As | sembly of New Zealand. (Cheers.) I j went there in the firm belief that yeu wished me to serve my fellow-colonists•- that you looked to me to do my duty to the ■ country at large; that no selfish motive actuated any one of you in sending me to Parliament; that you only wished that I should act to the best of my ability and I judgment in serving you. As an indication j of these sentiments on jour part, I can say, j with pride _ and pleasure, that I asked no single individual for his vote. You all know that. Let me tell you that of that large I constituency which I serve—many of whom j must have wants or wishes of some kind— I no man has to the present moment asked any favour at my hands or asked me to procure for him anything whatever, that as far as such thoughts go I am un tnownto them, and they are unknown to me. I know only that we are bound only by one common bond—the resolution to serve New Zealand to the utmost of our united powers. Cheers.) Let me tell you of another ad wantage that you conferred upon me—it was a very great additional benefit indeed, that was in giving me a worthy colleague to co operate with me—a man thoroughly inde • pendent himself, one seeking no favour and desiring nothing from any man —one who in the most friendly, the most loyal, and I may say affectionate manner, aided me on every occasion, and often in circumstances of very great difficulty. (Cheers.) Fortunate, therefore, mall these respects, I meet you to-night. I thank you for what you have done. I tell you, at the same time, that I have done my best to make you an adequate return for these advantages in the zeal with which I have endeavoured to serve you. I have given my time to your service and my abili ties, such as they were ; and my heart has been fixed in carrying out those objects which I knew you desired should have effect given them. But now, turning from mat ters which are partly personal, to ourselves, let us for one moment contemplate those general questions upon which the future welfare of yourselves, your children, and that of the entire colony necessarily depend. You are all aware that the general Assembly, in which the North Wand is but imperfectly represented, deter ged that certain rights and privileges should be taken from you, and that in place of those rights and those privileges a new form of Government should be set up, which form of Government, as it was de tailed in the law proposed, and laid before the General Assembly, changed your free dom into servitude—changed your right of choosing your own public servants into a Power given to a Governor and his Ministers jor the time being to name such persons as they might choose to fulfil those duties Which your elected representatives had previ ously fulfilled—which changed in effect your Whole constitution, and altered the freedom and liberty of choice to a condition of absolute servitude. That Assembly determined that "Us change should take place wichout your voices being heard—without your wishes being known. Now, that, to my mind, was a crime. I US e the word advisedly—that it Was a crime not only against yourselves, 'but committed against the entire human race, Because it was an innovation upon every con stitutional rule which throughout the British Empire had been previously observed. It Was moreover incumbered with this very great difficulty,—that the proposition was "kgal, for undoubtedly, according to my "md, in point of law the Assembly had no P°wer to do what they proposed to effect, ■inerefore, as your representative, I thought 11 my d u ty to say : Whether the people ot New Zealand desire this change ? not I cannot tell, —it was for Jp?J to determine, — for them to JJ^ae, whether it should be so or not. tyaeerß.) If they decide adversely to my "ews, it Ja m y duty, as one citizen of this country, to do my utmost to render their de famation successful, whatever their deci sion may be. (Hear, and cheers.) But if £ fley think that it should not be so, then do * Bay» that if a few determined men will •tand together with me, such change shall of xr Place ~cheers until the people ha i^ Zealand have been heard, and "»ve had the opportunity of expressing 'neir opinion upon the change it was *J°P°sed to introduce. (Loud cheers.) They 7?U be treated as intelligent and reason cai c wen; theyshaU be dealfc wifch as persons **paoie of forming an opinion as to what not £ Promote their welfare. They shall <^t)ell je,"ealt with as slaves or serfs—com- Ny£ ea to follow orders given by rulers not jj!en by themselves—rulers not having any cert? iright to comP el ttiem t0 come un4 er ofiTt 1 8> but persons whom the choice tustant constituencies, individuals actuated ?

BENEFIT OF MISS CARRY GEORGE.

It only requires to be known that Miss Carry George takes her benefit to-morrow night for the Theatre to be fuil to overflow ing. This talented artiste has made herself so thoroughly at brine in all kinds of charac ters since her debut in this city, that our citizens, who love to spend their hour con templating the efforts of dramatic art, are really grieved that they are so soon to lose her. It; only remains for them to testify their appreciation of her powers by assem bling in crowds to pay her a parting compli ment to-morrow night, and thus to show that their gratitude is not what Rochefou cauld defines that virtue to be, a lively sense of favours to come. The programme for the night will be found worthy of the occasion.
