THE BOROUGH ELECTION

'. / To the Editor. Sie,-^- Another tjo A'^jp^.'V "^hereas you have touched on ]^fatftralisatioq, let me inform you that if you will see the Emigration Act and the conditions on which ioreigns era are invited to settle m this British Colony, you will find. that you are far mistaken. You call yourself "Let," «• O sanc'ta sirapl;oitas." Perhaps you think there a»e only two Sides to a question, but tbare are three. I remember a little fact that occurred m my childhood. In a little village at home there was a minister, and an -old fisherman w!}Q bfcd dppbt pi the Bible. One day the latter met the minister and said " Suppose I btrike you on one Bide of the faoe, will you turn the other side to me m order to be struck there?" " Yes," said the minister. The fisherman struck once and the minister turned the other side too and received another blow. These were two sides of the question,' t)uf> then the , minister calmly pulled off his cqat and gave pi 4 Japl? tbe worst hammering that ever you saw that wfts the third side pf tlje question? If our British brothers»m«law should appreciate I Mr lex's feelings I should be sorry indeed as I can assure Mr, "Lex '' that if he was residing m another foreign friendly couatry he would be | treated otherwise. : - ' •' A :; ' ; I 'a ! m; &c, '" " : .■'>"' The Stars.
