It is a habit of the Greyite party to claim a monopoly of public virtue, and they wish to be thought specially imma culate in everything connected with land. We say at hazard that, if investigation were made, it is simply true that among all those who have profited by buying land in cheap times and selling it in dear, or who, having bought it cheap, are still holding it for future profit, as large a proportion of the Greyite faction would be found as of any other political class in the country. We might begin with Sir George Grey himself, who is a landowner, and who, as far as we know, has never shown the slightest disposition to part with any advantage of early purchase. To come nearer home — those who know this place and its history could point without difficulty to leading Greyites who have grown rich by the simple process of buying acres by the score or hundred at 10s an acre, and selling by the quarter-acre at £40 ; or who spurn even this advance, in the well grounded hope that, through no effort of theirs, the profit will be yet more enor mous. These men bare contributed nothing or almost nothing to this improvement, and they recognise the right of no settler whatever, whether in tpwn or country, to share with them the benefit of their fortunate speculation. Yet theirs is the party that thinks itself entitled to cry shame on every landholder who. not being a Greyite, thinks fit to cherish his land and reap his profit precisely after the Greyite example. We charge those who select Conservative landlords tor vituperation, either on account of the extent of their holdings, or their method of dealing with them, with deliberate fraud, and ire engage to produce within a mile of Invercargill, a very Cory phaeus of the unimpeachable Grey party, who is pursuing a precisely similar course with his land to that which is laid as a crime at the door of a Conservative, simply because he is a Conservative. It is ridiculous to distinguish between parties, and say — this is composed of I land jobbers, and the other is free from the taint or suspicion of land-jobbing.
