To the Edigor.

Having read an amount of tit, above in your edition
of the 25th ult. aLlow roe as • ratepayer of the parish to
make a few remarks upon the same.
The impression desired to be eonveyei by your
reporter, whteore to or. to be, that the meeting being
(Legally eJ was dos to some or other of Mr. H. 0.
Jeakins' Mende, and with the object of promotion that
gentleman's aleetion. This, however, was not the ease
It being • gentlemao, • supporter of Mr. H. 0. Gallon,
who forgot to post tato maim Galling the amnion, till

Again, I think your eorrespondent showed a total
skwerise ot good taste, in Introducing Into his report,
„a remark reneoting on the oonduct of our worthy
member.

Who, /3lr, doss your informant think hoe a grecitor
right to rllooollaled • perms to MI the vacant pod,
than one who with his daughter (Yrs. Lloyd Iggington)
own* nearly the whole of the pariah? Thioking, In
sonjunetion with nearly all the other peadosl rate-
payers of ths pines, that Kr. Jenkins warn the right
man for the offish I think he did unite right Is sald6g
the attention of his tenants to the toot that Ms. J. was
• modidate for this post. I do not think that owes
Mr. John Bright, or more, our friend Yr. Odger,
would think this a mite of orserdon or intimidation—
the light in which yoar.reportor represents it.
The majority in favour of Kr. Jenkins warn
decisive one, and in the coming election will probably
be greater.
In ooncludou, allow me to hope that your corres-
pondent when be next appears in print will orinflae
himself to • true and simple ststemont of faete, and
leave your radars to form their own (omission there-
from. BOUBIZOLDUL.
