favoritism to be shown either in tho constituency of Wanganui, or to the Provincial District of Avliich it forms a part, we tlo think that both will un doubtedly nnd legitimately, derive benefit from the fact. Major Atkinson was injudicious in hinting- at great local advantages in the shape of public expenditure accruing to Wanganui as a consequence ot 'Sir Julius Vogel's election. We hope that no votes were "•iven to him in such a hope, for any expectation of the kind is sure to be disappointed. Sir- Julius Vog'cl is not at all likely to give his own consti tuency any undue favor or to benefit it at the expense of the rest of the colony ; but there is no doubt he can and will, as its member, confer substantial advan tages on the. district and province. We again congratulate our Wanganui friends on the judicious choice they have' made. Wanganui and llangitikci electors seem to have a more just appre ciation of their duties and responsibili ties than those of the electorates in this part of the province. In giving 1 their votes they socra to be actuated by worthy public motives instead of by private feelings.
A COMPLAINT.
