The Sun.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEEDS TIMES.

Sra,—The Sun of the 4th does me the honour to no-
tice the contents of my letter to the Secretary to the
" Lovett and Collins " Committee in July last ; which
tempts me to take the opportunity for further discussion
of the principles concerned. And the more, because
the Sun is deciledly the most advanced of the Liberal
daily papers ; a'id is the journal which, whenever its
" call " shall come, will move onward and take the lead
in the people's cause.
That letter, it is stated, " recommends the Char-
es to join, at the elections, with either Whigs or
. who will contribute to elect Chartiets."

give up what would have been done by the man of th,:ir
own, and would not have been done, or would have
been opposed, by the other ?
Put now an actual case, and see how it looks. There
i 3 a place where the Whigs and Tories are both in
strength : and a third party (which for convenience shall
be called the party of further Reform) contrives by a suc-
cessful exertion of the tactics of a minority, to bring in
one Representative of its own, in company with one
of either of the other parties. And let some enti-
cing personage be sent down, to convince the further
Reformers" that they have done the wrong thing.
How will it be gone about ? Will it be said, " You
ought to have let two Whigs come in instead of a Whig
and a further Reformer ; and so you would have lost all
the difference between your own man and a Whig ?"
Or would it be, " You ought to have let in one Whig
and one Tory ; and then the result to you would have
been as before ?" Or would it be, " You ought to have
let two Tories come in ; aid you would have been
greatly the better fur that ?" In which of these would
the Siren have the smallest prospect of success ?
Tnere is only one possible case more ;
therefore to
that must the Siren's song be supposed to be confined.
And that it, " You ought to have helped to bring in
tsea Whigs, instead of a further Reformer and ate Toryave
."
And now to see the reasons why
we ought h
brought in two Whigs instead of a man of our own way
of thinking and a Tory.

THE CASHIaiERE SHAWL.--This singular pro-
duction, which applies in a very happy manner to Eastern
life, the plan of the aebrated " Adventures of a Guinea,"
will no doubt excite great curiosity among the lady portion
of the novel reading world. It takes us into the very
heart of Eastern society—Perian, Turkish, and Arabian
—and in the course of a series of romantic adventures,
arising out of the actual condition of society in those coun-
tries, draws pictures of manners and modes of life so strange
and striking, that nothing but the confirmation of them, in
the relations of all recent travellers, could invest them with
the effect of truth. The favoured " Cashmere"
