LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 2, 1837.

We have inserted in another part of The Sun a
communication from Mr. CHARLES CHILDS, the son
of the gentleman who has suffered so severely in the
cause of religious freedom, and to whom that cause
owes so much, for the extraordinary impulse which he
has thus been the means of giving to the popular
mind on the question of Church-rates. That a man
who has deserved so well of his country, by striking a
deadly blow at one of the worst of those iniquitous
oppressions which still deform its laws and institutions,
should be an object of hatred to those who are for re-

taining as sacred every excrescence, however noxious,
which has shot out, by means of corrupt influence!,
from the goodly stem of the Constitution, is nothing
wonderful. As little ought} we to be seerprised that
this hatred, natural enough, perhaps, in the honest
bigot, and in the worshipper of the " absolute wisdom
of our ancestors," that. idol of fools, should break out
in those explosions of personal abuse which the pubic
organs of Toryism substitute for calm discussion and
sober argument. The abuse, indeed, which such party
organs as the Times pours forth upon its political
opponents, may be adopted as a fair criterion of their
merit. The more any one is subjected to this bespat-
tering, the more may he congratulate himself on the
rectitude of his course. It is an ordeal, if we may so
speal:, through which it is necessary to pass, before
the public advocate of civil and religious liberty, or
the reformer of abuses in Church or State, is entitled
to have his claims universally ac!mowledged. It is
therefore an honour of the highe,t kind, and ought to
be coveted, not deprecated, by good men. Such an
honour has M. JOHN CHILDS lately received from
the Times. A few days ago there appeared in that
common-sewer of every thing that. is base and profli-
gate in politics, an article teeming with the most bare-
faced falsehoods respecting Mr. CHILDS and his son,
as well as with the grossest personal abuse. The imme-
diate cause of this ribaldry it is easy to discover. Mr. C.
CHILDS has lately exposed a case of the most heartless
cruelty practised in the County of Suffolk by a Tory
landlord—one BEDINGFIELD by name—towards an
aged and most respectable tenant on his estate, because
he would not be intimidated into a preach of promise,
and vote for the Tory candidate, Mr. JOHN CHILDS
has also taken steps to have a public meeting of the
county, in order to petition Parliament in favour
of t:se Ballot, an example which is likely to be
follo-ved by other countfes, and a thing not at
all agreeable to the party whom the granting of
the petition would instantly demolish. 'Dine
offences, together with similar sins of tin older
date, have 'Drought upon this statine and trusty
Reform-net the shower of ct;mpliment from the 13illings-
vate Journal to ‘.vit;ch we have alluded. The younger
Mr. CHILDS sent the letter which appears, in our
volumns to the Times, imagining that, as a matter of
mrae, a contradiction of the Mae statements would
be caged:, admitted into the Journal which had origi-
nated and circulated them, and of which he used to he
cherished cormpondent, when the Time: was upon
the Reforokitg tack t hut we doubt whether his corre-
VPMICiee will meet with the same favour now.

,
e extract from the Durham Chronicle an account
of a public dinner lately given at Sunderland to HED-
WORTH LANIBTON, EST, M. P., and Sir W.
CitAYTOR ; and we rejoice to observe, that, notwith.
litanding the great efforts made by the Tories in their
desperate struggle for power, the spirit of Reform will
still prove too strong for them, and overthrow their
corrupt influence. Some able speeches were delivered
by the leading parties present at this dinner, amongst
which we may notice that made by Mr. HUTT, late
Meakilictrqitilil, a gentleman whose patriotic ser-
vKOly-therifintsk Commons, we hope the cause
