7Hinman gave prompt reply TO the inerogatories,
and avowed sentiments Of hostility to the measures
referred to, bu. Mr. Brown did not deign to give any
answer whatever. In consequence Mr.. Human was
nominated by the wings, and Mr. Brown was not. and
Mr. Hwas reelected to the office which he now holds
by an immense majority, but Mr.. B. was by MAORI
ty little less decisive chosen to retire private life
where he will have abundant leisure to mediate upon
the folly of his course. In the destiny of these two
