MR. GOLDWIN SMITH AND THE MANCHESTER

GUARDIAN.

Mr. Goldwin Smith has addressed the following
letter to the Afar4rJ4sier Guardian :

" Bir,-1 have just read your article of Tuesday, is
which you accuse me of having ' characteristically' volts
of ninepins and murder' as mere ' aberrations.' When
letter the Dai! you
made chaste g
ainst
whichxa, to th woyrdso. of my
were
referring, were before you. They were as fol-
low, This (the unionist) movement taking place
in • class imperfectly educated, and through the de-
fect of our institutions, politically isolated, was too sum
to be attended with many aberrations, and some mimes ;
though we have had nothing nor, unless the Times is al-
lowed to guide us, shall we have anything,
like the fearful insurrections which marked the
great labour Mail.' of the middle ages. The
aberrations must be corrected by knowledge, to which,
if it is offered in the right spirit, these men seem
by no means unwilling to give ear. The crimes mud
be punished by justice. Unfortunately the criminals a
thin instance hold certificates of indemnity, and are M
large with their infamy upon their heads, to the
grace of justice and the pollution of the community, IA
And further on: I spoke of these outraged to
' a portentous case' and as ' barbarous crime
I leave your accusation then to the judgment of any ones
in whom the beat of controversy has not extilcuellet
respect for the personal character of opponents an reitue_
for the laws of honour. You contnuit my private wme
my public influence over the unionists. I can hi"
no private influence over them, because I have no pr:
rate relations with them—because I have never led
any connection or intercourse with them whatever. I
watch the movement as an independent economist, dell,'
ring its aberrations and condemning its crimes, thargb
the same time not failing to mark the aberrations of those
who, ignorant of the nature of the Crisis at which we bare
arrived, would goad society into • polity of violent tr
pression which could lead to nothing but disaster.—l arc
air, your obedient servant.—Gowwirs Strati."
