RE TAWELL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your issue of yesterday, No. 16,406, I find In
column 5, page 1, the following paragraph :
" In deference to the wishes of the members of the Society
of Friends, he will not be executed in the garb of a Quaker.
Well knowing that you have ever stood the firm friend of
toleration and religious liberty,-
may I, as a Dissenter, inquire
why s. small and respectable a body of Dissenters should be
allowed to cast the stigma upon Dissenters generally?
I would in all Christian charity ask the Quakers whether
they would be contented if an Independent, and a true one,
without any nonsense, was to ask the executive power to
allew a Protestant Dissenter, and not a Quaker, to assume
the garb of a member of that body, under such circumstances,
"in deference to the wishes" of the aforesaid members. What
would be said by the purities?
My conviction, and that of many of my friends, is, that
some one more qualified than ourselves should take the mat-
ter into consideration ; and, whether Jew or Gentile, let each
bear their opprobrium.
The honest press is, we feel satisfied, the best qualified to
bring the matter before the public.
I remain, yours most respectfully,
AN INDEPENDENT DISSENTER,
Manchester, March 18. And a lover of Fairplay.

commentary in respect to the next vacant seat, shall
speak for itself. Thus it is—" It is a fact not to be im-

pitality, and be of sound political creed, he will walk
over the course, whenever the next election arrives."
