There can be no super- abundance of intelligence among those who have helped to make up the two thousand, when many of them re- guired to be instructed by private circular, as to how they should make their mark. As to another instructicn which the Circular contains, namely, that the Petiticn should be kept clean, we have the gratification to assure our readers that it was, in many cases, most scrupulously adhered to: s0 much so, indeed, that the more reflective ‘and considerate part of the country people could not be induced to sign it from a fear of soiling it: we have seen one returned from Seven Mile Bay without a mark or inky stain upon it.
