THE HOLIDAY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—Having seen a letter in your paper of the 16th
inst., from a " Liverpool Merchant," respecting the forth-
coming holiday on the 29th, I should wish to offer a few
remarks on it. Whoever the person is that signs him-
self a " Liverpool Merchant," I would advise him to
remain incognito. It is a disgrace to any one to write
such a letter for a public print; and, in my opinion,
the person who wrote it, is a very selfish, narrow_minded
man, and because, for reasons best known to himself, is
like the " dog in the manger," cannot enjoy himself,
and wishes no one else to enjoy it.
Whatever be his own sentiments on the subject, let
him keep them to himself, and not prejudice others
against a national holiday,, because of his own objections
to it. It is very unfeeling of any master to wish to
deprive his clerks of a public holiday, when they are
continually working for his interests, and often with a
very poor remuneration for their services.
Trusting you will allow me space for this in your
valuable paper, ANOTHER. MERCHANT'S CLERK.
Liverpool, May 19, 1856.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMRS.

Sir,—l am reading day after day letters from clerks
about the 29th of May holiday. I wish you would be
good enough to let them all know that if one or two
stingy " princes" chase to grumble about the holiday,
they are quite welcome to do so, as it will not make one
jot difference with our real merchants, for I am sure they
are not at all the sort of men who wish to keep their
employees "from enjoying a day which the country
generally has set apart for universal joy. I fancy these
miscalled " princes," who are so fond of grumbling, are
some starved-out marine or stolen lead dealers, and they
don't wish to leave a stone unturned to increase their

gains,—Yours, &c.,
Bootle-lane, May 20, 1836

YOUNG LIVERPOOL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—A man, or a nation of men, who are consistent,
ought to be admired. I have not the slightest objection
for the people of Liverpool and of England to have a
holiday, in order to have a little relaxation from toil ;
but I have the most decided objection for the same
people to have a holiday in order to rejoice for peace,
unless they have repented in dust and ashes of their
enormous sins. If a man dared, a few months ago, to say
one ward against the wholesale slaughter of the human
family, he would have been considered mad—an un-
worthy member of civilised society—called a Russian,
and recommended to emigrate to Si beria.—l am, 84c.,
