TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sts,—l am sorry to be obliged to make a few remarks upon
the report of a speech made by me at Croydon, and given in
your paper of last night, which, I trust, you will do me the
justice to notice. Apart from the vanity of wishing to see my
maiden speech fairly reported, I would observe that, not only
has it been so condensed as to have deprived it of the little
ornament it possessed, hut in several parts there is a total per-
version of the sense. lam made to say, that "it was my opi-
nion, that while some had picked the pockets of the country,
others were perhaps too rash ; that by such opinion, whether
right or wrong, I was ready to rise or fall." The following is
what I did say :—" That while on the one side the Aristocracy
of this country had benefited by a long course of pillage, on
the other hand the Reformers were accused of going too far ;
that I was one of those who had been so accused, but that
while I thus professed myself ready to push on, I begged no
one would consider me as compromising with the political
tenets of any party present; that I stood alone in the opinions
I had formed, arid if wrong, I was ready to pay the penalty by •
falling with them, but, if right, I was determined to rise." I
am then made to say, " I am a Christian, and a friend to the
Established Church." Now, as there is nothing I more
despise than the common Methodistical cant of boasting in
public of being a Christian, &c., I beg to say that I, on the
contrary, " begged the electors not to conceive that because I
had in my energy called on the name of the Almighty, that I
was anxious to advocate to myself a large share of sanctity;
that, on the contrary, I hated such boasts, and was ready to
say that I was not one whit better than my neighbours, but,
that while I professed myself no enemy of the Established
Church, I blushed for the conduct of the ministers of that
peaceful religion, whose meek Founder rode through the proud
city of Jerusalem on the humble animal whose back still bore,
according to the vulgar opinion, the mark of the fearful engine
on which he died a painful and ignominious death. That
when I thus remarked on the unfriendly conduct of many of
that Church Establishment, I trusted no one would imagine
the stricture as general; for, that I well knew, there were
thousands of meek pastors scattered over the country, who
were wholly and nobly employed in their peaceful duties." In
conclusion, I would remark, and I feel proud in being able to
do so, " that, after the eulogium I passed upon Lord Brougham,
I proposed the health of him who had taught this country that
knowledge was power," all of which has been omitted. lam
the more ready to ask this justice at your hands, for I am sure
that accident, not design, has been the means of my speech
appearing in a mutilated form, since every attention and compli-
ment was paid to the press and its officers by the company, and
amongst those who rendered your reporter every possible con-
venience and comfort, I think he will own was
Your humble and obedient servant,
