THE CANTERBURY ELECTION_COLO-
NEL ROJELLY AND MR. SMYT HE.
We have been requested to publish the following

TO THE ELECTORS OF CANTERBURY.
Gentlemen,—lnasmuch as Colonel Romilly has
thought proper to issue an address, " which I shall ab.
stain from characterising," I amr reluctantly compelled
to follow him through the mazes of adifference which I
had hoped
seas at °lee anindorteo,r
heevoearnaset alnheana been dh led to.
I had hoped so
believe that our dispute terminated in the common for-
mality which Colonel Reinilly and myself went through
which I • I "
eel that an apology
on Friday last, for w sincerely feel incere y
is due
to you, gentlemen,in the
present temper of Bri-
tish opinion. But at least it was not my fault if British
d on that occasion was profaned, and nothing but
ghe roun
insuperable scruples of my gallant colleague " for
t
private and family reasons of his own" against an issue
abroad, prevented me from showing that deference to
the general mode of thinking in this country which I
feel that you have a right to exact.
At any rate, I am confident that you will approve of the
feeling in which I met my adversary's second half-way,
when, with honourable promptitude, he expressed his
anxiety to mo on Friday morning that thenceforward,
throughout tho contested election, all bad blood and all
ill-feeling might cease to exist.
Colonel Romilly, however, has since thought it expo-
dtent to re-open the whole question. First of all by his
insisting nen the publication of " the minutes of a dif-
ference," to which Captain Vivian, on my part, was
strongly opposed, and to which he only, after long
delays and grave objections, finally consented; and, se-
condly, by the address now lying before me, which is
very imperfectly correct.
My gallant colleague states " that he had no commu-
nication with me previous to the election of 1850." I
never said that ho had; but I asserted, what ho does not
contradict, that I wrote to the chairman of the meeting
which introduced hire, for the first time, to the electors
of Canterbury, calling upon all my friends to support
him. Colonel Romilly goes on to say, that "his being
then elected " was not, iu his belief, owing to my sup-
port. I believe that it was so owing; and a reconcile-
ment between these two contrary beliefs is obviously
impossible. I am glad, however, that Colonel Romilly
does not deny, if he somewhat ungraciously acknow-
ledges, my assistance, in hie phrase, " The fact of that
support I am ready to admit." My gallant colleague
goes on to state,---" On the subject of the now approach-
ing election I never had any formal interview with
had.
Mr.
Smythe." Here, again, I never contended that he
"It is true that, having met mo on several occasions, ho
(Hr. Smythe) has originated conversations with i
me en
int of this sentence consists the subject." Now, the po
in the word which I have ventured to italicise.
It is precisely my charge against Colonel Romilly that
he did allow mo to originate conversations on the
election. My spoken words were these:—" At any rate
it was under the hallucination that our coalition, as I
had heard nothing to the contrary, still subsisted, that,
directly after the certainty of an immediate dissolution,
I spoke to my colleague iu the sense of making lames
diate and joint preparations."
Colonel Romilly remarks, very truly, that "
Smythe appeared to be annoyed, and expressed himself
warmly on the occasion ;" but the gallant officer is under
a complete misapprehension when he continues—"but ho
afterwards distinctly adnaitte.i to me that I had acted
towards him fairly and openly in the matter." The
matter to which I alluded in these expressions had no
reference whatever to Colonel Hominy's generel conduct
towards myself ; they were simply used in courteous no-
kowledgment of a letter which Colonel Romilly had sent
to me, intimating hie intention to hold a meeting of his
friends in Canterbury; sad had I known that at that
meeting Sir William Somerville's name was to he pro-
pose d, I certainly should Oct have complimented Colonel
Iloatilly either upon his openness or his frankness.
There i:3 but one more point in my nolleague's address
on which I desire to animadvert. Not, perhaps, with-
out an object, he seeks to impress upon your mind that
lam animated by some spirit of " vengeance," which
word he has carefully isolated from the context of my
speech of the 17th.
But there is no one among you who dohs not per-
