We believe that the Anti-Corn-law meeting at
ICendal is already producing excellent effects in the agri-
Cultural districts.. The Tories are pleasel to sneer at
the clergymen who felt it their duty to attend at that
to ,:eting, but it seems singular that it should not have
str,Ack some of them; that there must assuredly be some
most unrighteous and 'palpably unchristian injustice in
those laws which. could bring together clergymen of so
many differing. persuasions unanimously and cordially
to condemn them. Will these men, of whom it is said,
if they say it not of themselves, that they are more
righteous than,
eventheir neighbour, will these men, even if
they think the modification of the Corn-laws may bring
some loss
ac
t 6 themselves, hesitate to offer some srifice,
bin order to restore peece, and insure prosperity to the
Li tknumunity ?It surely is but a very questionable religion
action of the simplest
:'4lli,;',Pi-v,;Which shall exclude such simple
'charity. Be it remembered, however, that we wholly
''detv. anything but prosperity can follow on adopting
this line of policy which Ministers have pointed out.—
