T. 7x^ G' >.-t7.-/,M ?>:, - E-'.xi- mfprmeid, '.h ,t a rcr'or h s ■»*" circulated throughout your district, to the eft'' :ci that I am a devotod follower of the present Govern ment, I deem it my privilege, in consequence, to address you thus, through the columns of the Prps«. Two years or more ago I was an admirer of the then Government, and considered that the Pubk'c Woriis and Immigration schema of itself was suffi cient to commend that Government to the favourable consideration and support of the people ; but during the last two years, however, I regret to bave to acknowledge that, in addition to the wasteful ex penditure and gross extravagance in thp disposal of public moneys, so notoriously chargeable agninst the same Government, I have s?en much injustice done, and bad legislation fostered by them. One bill ?.lone—the Nativn Lands Bill—passed the session before last, should in my estimation be enough to condemn any Government in the eyes of all who lefi-re to ser- justice done to tMf> North Tslard, < r fair lay towards the native owners of the soil, and pi's- > b!y native war averted The said vile bill not n y virtually puts a sop to settlement in this island, but deals most iniquitoußly with tbo lands of the jiaiives, and places m the hands of the Government a putronai** in the disposal ov manage mrnt of other people's property, which is absolutely revolting .to common sense and common honesty I happened to be in Wellington when the bill was .It f.^ri' the Assembly, and pointed out to several of -lie Auckland members how outrageous the-Mil •was, i>ut \as i< yM that they could tlo nothing1, being only :i siur.?l mi'ovity. Accordingly tlje bill passe" with-• ■ '" op: osition, although! took upon ihyself to point ut to one member of the Government th*t ifina bill d d lifcoine law, it woulrl <-re lons he n?e'l for their cotirlt mnatiou. On many other nvitters of public ire- ' I ort. I havo comntvinioated with tue OivernmTit to Mttle or no purpose and have generally found re monstrances treated with indifference or altogether ov*d<>d so th-it I no longer feel any inclination to* (-U) p >rt them, but, on the contrary, have every iemr* to Sf-e them, che'ked in thf-jrwild c rffof ■ xtruva- a ca—for which said extravagance, however, ' T lo not iiold the m< nb'-rs nf ih- Assembly fr«e from bl»ive, as I think that had they chewn thp sara*> inn wit of rner^y in scrniiiifins? the ERtlmst< s *fl t^cyi'd In opoosinar the Abolition Bill, at least on* hmifired thonsind pounds might have b-en s-.veri to thfl public.*D las' eepsion alone. At present I see ho b-'t'er plan of i.pposingl the Government thin to rally n-oder Ih-- barm« r of Sir Oiori-e Grpy, and as Sir Georga has s;pnified his intention to abandon his effort! to restore to power the nine expensive Provincial Governments, togeth- r with their attendant horde of trading poUticians snd poll-tax collectors, I feel per fe.ct'y justified in assurine you that Sir George will have itiy most cordial assistance if I am your repre m-n*ative. With regard to a united Colony, or Separatio ■ of 'he two Tsl^nrls, I confess that T enter tiin srravfi doubts as to which would be best for both ißlsrids, as T >iav<- of fen beli- ved that with the land rovenup of New Znalard made colonial revenue, one Govi'i-nnirn* a^d "P"i->ui-se might do justice to both, islands Buf in the fa.c^ of such arguments as those of Mr Dilw irfh, who ;o r>ot on'.y far-seeing and clear b»ntled, brit ■- min'.-ntly qualified to give an opinion, and to have his opinions treated with consideration, I ani inclmed to favour Separation ; for, in addition to the arguments used by Mr Dilworth, there is the alarming fact, that the South Island counts fifty three members of Assembly as against thirty-five from this island, so that, in all cases where interests clashed, the North would be out-voted I beg, therefore, to »sk the electors of Waitemata to be on their guard against any rumours that may be circulated to my prejudice, for like unfoMrDil worth's interests, my own are centred in this island, and I feel confident, that in all that concerns its welfare I will be found working in concert with ita true friends. . , I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Tours obediently, J. S. MACFAB,LA2TE. Auckland, January 3,1876 Extract from a letter of Mr Pilworth's, published in the Star, of the 29th December:—Mr Clark is Htrongly opposed to Separation las strongly believe it is the only salvation for Auckland. We have been too lone and too unequally yoked. It in a notorious fact that between our disunion and the overwhelming majority of representatives from the South. Island, our affairs have been managed, not by us, but for us. That management which, has already produced one native war, is like the management of all absentees, both, expensive and bad;.so bad, indeed, as to pro duce, during a trial of nearly twenty years, both public discontent and public bankruptcy. The en forced continuance by Southern domination of thig state of things will as certainly produce another native war at no distant date, as the South TsWd domination and ignorance of native affairs produced the last war. As a eettle'r of tMrty-five years resi dence in New Zealand, I would s»y to the placers in this game of Government, 'Do not let the hollow sentiment of aB Unitpd New Zealand, or the gain of a few hundreds of thousands of pounds produce Birch a result; but in the name of «ll that is noble, gonerous. and good, strive for Separation' * s a financial basis let the South Tsland take in rou^d figures, without going into details, which are of minor importance, the whole debt, less provincial debts at d the public works and immigration expenditure in the North Island, leaving the natives and all future dealings with them and the results of such dealings to us, who understand them."
