Perfect silence on the part Of the maori

We are ready at any moment to close
these irritating discussions, and move on the
proper work of the campaign. AL know
that Wing chickering's henoeforth can do no
good-ihat they are likely to encourage ii
not to help the common adversary. Butthere
are those who fancy they promote their pri-
ate ends and exalt their local consequence by
tanning the flame Of Faction, and it is cur
duty to resist and expose their decisions.

the Convention had held no caucus, no gen
eral meeting of any kind, until after the
Duer Resolutions were reported on Thurs
day evening. Those Resolutions were most

What more natural, more obvious, than that
they should now meet for consultation?
They had narrowly escaped discontinue for
want of concert and mutual understanding
their peril and their escape pointed to con-

Mr. Duer's resolutions and 60 on with the
Conventions business in its natural and
