Many of the electors of Welling ton said like Mr Andrew that the corporation were paying too dear, that it was a job, at the head of whom was Mr J. Plimmer. Amongst the town members who voted for the bill were Mr Pearce and Mr Hunter, gentlemen who had as much state in the Wairarapa as Mr Andrew. The City Corporation were far better able to manage the wharf, reclaimed land, &c, than any Provincial Government could, and he hoped it wou'd be a profitable concern for them. Mr Andrew spoke in favor of the High way Act, and then voted against it. He also got £25,000 placed upon the estimates. Where did he expect this sum to come from ? The back surveys were not connected with the small farmers but the large ones. He read from the Government Gazettee for 1860 to show how these very gentlemen Mr Andrew represented had wronged the province. He would only mention one or two names which would suf fice : Mr J. Northwood's run, 5200 acres, £5 Bs4td from this run; 15,000 acres had siny? been sold by the Government, not including the homestead. As Mr Andrew had brought Mr D. Biddiford's case forward he might do the same, as he saw Mr Eiddiford down for 27,900 acres, £27 Is Bd. They had been told that Mr Martin came forward and had paid a deposit on 24,000 acres. He could only say success to Mr Martin ; he wished we had many such. Mr A. said we wanted no emi grants from Norway, nor Chinese scum of the earth. With regard to the small farmer, they had taxed themselves to make roads. Hed the largo ones done so ? No. He considered the Norwegians were good industrious people, and would make good settlers. [Mr Andrew said he did not mean to throw a slur on the Norwegians; they were an intelligent religious people.] The value of all the lands in the province was increased by them. The wealth of the country is not in sheep runs, but in po pulation. Mr A. had supported the bill for special settlement, but what use is it without roads ? With regard to education, he wished to see good schools and efficient masters well paid.
