TO THE EDITOE OF THE TIMAEtX HERALD. Sib, — If there has been a pattern of honesty and integrity among all those whom we are apt to call politicians — that pattern, if people had been requested to name — nine persons out of ten would have named Mr Bolleston. But it appears his Honor's virtue and inte grity arc like those of many others — for holi day use, and not for wear. They only exist so long as there is no temptation. He, it ap pears, when his own interest is at stake, can bo as blind as any man — or, rather, can see only m the direction he wishes. He, it ap pears, can sell like others all that men should hold dear for a mess of pottage— to hold a shadow of power and retain the salary of a sinecure, he can bend himself to be an instru ment, and not only an instrument, but, if your telegram m reference to the Gladstone County Bill is reliable, to utter the most barefaced untruths m his place m the House of Eepre sentatives — statements which must have brought the blush of shame to the cheeks even of those hardened by long years of official existence. This may be thought very strong language, but m matters of public interest, and with the conduct of public men, we must use plain language ; we must call a spade a spade. A great deal of the want of candour and honesty of public men is caused by the want — or, rather, by the neglect of the same quality m the people. They do not care to judge of men or measures— they look with an eye of in difference — and so long as a government keep their hands out of the public pocket, they may borrow, involve by heavy loans — frittered away m the most uselsss and extravagant manner — and lay on those who succeed us the most grievous burdens, and the public stand tacitly by not so much as lifting their finger to prevent it. If any proof were required of the apathy of the people, it is the slanders and untruths uttered by Mr Bolleston when he opposed the measure introduced by Mr Stafford— the Gladstone County Bill.
