Such partiality exoited both terror and animosity in the propertied class, and raised a host of powerful and implacable ! opponents to the man and his measures. He altogether lost sight of equity when appealing to the masses, and, as a consequence, his splendid efforts lacked half the effect that would i bave resulted from more even-handed dealing with the requirements of the day. But for all ihis, Sir George has done a vast amount of good, and made an indelible mark in the poli tical records of the colony. To use his own favorite expression, he will be remembered for '.'all time." When-the names of other once prominent men are out of remembrance, that of Sir George Grey will be a household word. I question' if he was ever held in such generally nigh esteem as;mow, after, what is already termed, his "silent session." And yet not silent, but spared that bitter, one-sided decla mation, for which he was so remarkable. Bnt latterly, Sir George has been swayed by calm h ason, and, with a small but compact party at his back,.-has materially promoted equitable legislation. /He has held the balance of power, arid his'has been the gratification of witness ing ,his bitterest opponents compelled to give effect to measure after measure of: liberalism fbat originated With himi I write thus of Sir George, because it is just possible be may be ho more seen in bis place in the House, The rumors that were current'about his going to England were not altogether unfounded. I have reason to believe that he still entertains the idea; but in connection, however, with 1 a return to the colony in time to ocoupy bis familiar seat when Parliament meets next year. But OQce in England, who can tell how his movements might be swayed ? Still, happen what.may, the seed he has sown in New Zealand will germinate and fructify—-the ad vancement of the good cause of liberalism will never cease.
