The election for Representatives of the peoples
in the legislative Assembly of 1872, occurs about
two months hence, in the first week of February.
As usual in these islands since the abrogation of
the Constitution of 1852, but little interest is
manifested in the coming election. The feeling
appears to have become chronic, that our legisla-
tive ssemblies are more for ornament than use
that Ministers can carry any measure they may
set their minds upon and that a working oppo-
sition is not to be had. But the simple truth is
that those who are most directly interested in the
maintaining of good government and the making
of the laws under which they live, have only them
selves to blame for the unsatisfactory results -four
legislation. They have preserved almost invaria-
bly, a = mastery inactivity y at election times,
leaving the choice of members to those who least
understand the legislation needed, or who will be
least sensible affected, whatever that legislation
may be. On a larger scale, the same causes have
produced notorious effects in the government of
the city of New York. The wealthy, the educa-
ted, and the comfortably situated citizens kept
aloof from politics and the polls for years, and on
q sudden they awake to the fact that they have
been very extensively defrauded. Unless the
present apathy of our citizens is shaken off and a
more active interest taken in the election of rep
resentatiyes of the right stamp, we may be COM
PEELED helplessly to blame ourselves, in the future,
for having to live under a system Of taxation
without representation"
Besides many needed amendments to our statute
laws which will come up in the approaching ses-
sion, there will be some questions of paramount i'm
portance to be discussed affecting the future pros
perity and welfare of the state, which will require
the careful consideration of the best minds of the
nation. We shall again revert to this subject at
length, indulging the hope in the meantime, that
the foreign community will recognize the impor-
lance of their being, properly represented in the
legislative assembly, and take timely action in
selecting suitable candidates and preparing a
platform of principles.

THE PACIFIC
Commercial Abbert1ser,
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IS.

THE ATTEMPT to get light through the obtuse
heads of those who won't see it, like our cotem-
porary the Gazette for instance, is indeed a hope
less task. Whenever we present to it the broad
blaze of truth, it invariably averts its gaze from
the point Illuminated, and picks up the least
important points, over which it clucks and
cackles in the true style of an old biddy that has
discovered a prize. Our welI-founded statement
that the present Ministry,-and when we make
use of that word we mean the acknowledged head
and front of the Cabinets the one which has
conducted the country into the pretended neces-
sity for mourning a national debt, is met by a
long array OF statistical statements as to the his
tory Of the ministerial offices with dates of taking
and leaving Office, that must have cost the COM
piler a good deal of labor, to very little purpose.
Then we are given an array of figures about ex-
chequer bills issued on account of WaikahaIulu
water lots and membranes Of the Royal Domain,
industriously CLEANED from old appropriation
bills. In this connection we may remark that
the Gazette writer says we frequently express the
idea that about everything prepared for that pa
per emanates from the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and goes on to concede that the compll-
ment paid to that gentleman's industry is very
great we DeB 10 ulsOHn the eOil impOaOhhOhI,
as far as the industry displayed is concerned.
The most noted instance of industry put forth by
the Gazette, of which we are cognizant, is the
~pointless array of facts and figures above al
luded to.
The whole question raised by us, which was
the impolicy of going recklessly on and creating
a national debt with which to hamper ourselves
in the future, is incontinently lodged. Are we
to accept as the Ministerial position that because
exchequer bills were issued (as a matter of con-
venience, and not as a necessity in former years,
that that forms a fair precedent for government
at the present time to launch out into a large
loan for which there is absolutely no immediate
necessity? That because one has got into debt
once, therefore he must 60 repeatedly and deeper
into the snare? The habit is pernicious whether
in an individual or a government. 1t is the true
facihs decensus aUerno. tLet him abandon hope
who enters here"

The Asheville IN. c. Citizen says that the
Warm Springs, Madison county, have been pur-
chased by the Western North Carolina Coop
erative Manufacturing and Agricultural Asso-
ciation,' who propose Immediately, to plant a
colony OF live people on ito reconstruct the
large hotel and erect manufactures of various
kinds, rendering available the splendid water
power, and utilizing the immense forests ada
cent thereto.
This is giant step in the right direction and
should command the cordial and hearty coop
GRAFTON of every well-wisher of our mountain
region.
This pioneer enterprise it is hoped, will be
but the beginning of the good time that is in
store for u.s. when every valley shall be made
to resound with the hum Of machinery, and our
rich mountain peaks shall blossom as the rose.
What is all our mineral or other wealth !?
What is all our waterpower, what are ali our giant
forests, without population to develope and
utilize them
We are satisfied that all our people, with one
voice. will welcome the introduction Of all such
colonies in our midst
