CORRESPONDENCE.

TO S. C. WHITBREAD, ESQ. M.P. FOR THE

• • CaUNTY OF MIDDLEAEX.
St'n---As a Freeholder of the -great County which you re.
present—as au individual for whose sole and assistance in. the
County you have been more than Mice- pleased to express a
desire—and as the Minister of a parish borilering upon that
on which you are probably at this moment indicting the
nuisance of which this letter complains, I take the liberty,
however reluctantly, of addressing it to you.
1 have seen with a mixture of regret and indignation a
plaeard pasted over many of the walls in the neighbourhood,
announcing that yon were to take the Chair at a Meeting on
Paddington-green, summoned to collect and convey the con-
dolence, sympaav,- and approbation of the " Married Fe-
males" of the vicinity to the Queen, and to take into con-
sideration the investigation now pending in the House of
Lords.

Now, Sir, my anxiety for the interes's of good ,morals in
general, and especially tor those of toy own parish, a part of
wliiclt i; almost sure to In drawn Within the voriex of this
public meeting ; and the 'fear that such meetings' may- be
multiplied, and other hononrakle men be tempted to preside
over them—all these motives constrain me, with much•pain
to my own feeliugs, thus to address you.
• I- wish, then, to take the liberty of asking what benefit you
conceive likely to he conferred tot individuals, or on the
State, on the cause of legitimate freecim, ar of sound mo-
rals; by the convention of such an assembly?
Consider the plain circumstances of the case. The Queen
is nut, indeed, preyed to. be guilty of adultery; but she is
solemnly charged by the Ministers of the Crown, a- body of
men • acquitted even by Their enemies of perjury or cruelty,-
and by a Committee of Peers, comprehending in their nun-
ber individuals, politically opposed to those Ministers, with
crimes of the most gross and detestable nature. And this-
charge is-Supported by the testimony of an immense- body of
witnesses, as yet unconvicted, and, according to the persna-
sion,of thousands of reflecting and impartial individuals, not
likely to be convicted of perjury.
• What,..therr, I repeat the question, is the good likely to re-
sult.from,such a meeting? Is it your object to. vindicate the
Queen? Surely no reasonable man will be the more satisfied
of her innocence because you, with a few gentlemen who can
read and write, and a large number.Of both sexes who shrink
from all such aristocrat icardistinctions, think proper to assert
it in speeches, or in shoots upon. Paddington-green.
Is the object to alarm the House, of Peers into a 'decision-
faVourable to her Majesty? But surely, Sir, you know too
much of the high spirit of your coinitrymen in general, and
of that noble House in particular,
.to believe that they will
yield that to -terror which they deny to argument, honour,
and humanity.
Is your\object to get rid of the preseid Ministers? But who
will not prefer,: what is calked. the tyranny of Ministers, that
is, of men of sense and honour., to the worst of,all tyrannies,
than a mob, under whose dominion it is the natural tendency
of such meetings to place us-?
Is your design to gratify the political part# with which you
. act ? But how different a line have most of the leaders of that
hotly purtued in Parliament. Have they substituted clamour
for reasoning—treated the admitted-familiarities of the Queen
with her courier as alight-offence, called on their own wives
and daughters, or the wives and daughters of others, to
trumpet forth the praises of a woman who may within a Mioith.
I-ye proved to have viularea all the•common decencies of life ?

Finally, is yOur object what I would least suspect it to be,
the seating yourself permanently as Representative for the
County of Middlesex? it seat, to- won and to preserved would
be neither an honour nor a comfort to the winner. '

• But, Sir, if you cannot instruct us as to the Orantages of
such meetings, you will, perhaps, allow rue to speak as to
their Mischief. • .• •

I. In the first place, .►you are encouraging others to insult
your Sbvereign as a suborner of perjured witnesses.
2. In the next place, you are- bringing into contempt the
higheSt Court of Judicature in the land..

3.. You are, by giving light wallies to gross offences, sapping
the Very foundation of morals.
4. You are, with the maxim in your mouth, that " every
man is to he esteemed isnorent jilt he is prayed to be guilty,"
treating all the witnesses against the Queen as perjured liars,
though as yet tinconvicted of falsehood ; and the Ministers of
the Crown as base and. profligate conspirators, though their
honour and.humanity.have never been called into question.
5. You are holding out to the females of -the country, as a
model, an individnal of whose Purity you tunst at least enter-
tain some question, and Whom. you prohably world not 4utTer
a w►fe, mother,:sister, or daughter to visit. • _

6. You are cherishing in the mind of the multitude the
spirit of " radicalism !"—ft:*rit of which the first elements
ate a rejection'of Scripture, and a contempt of all the insti-
tutions of your country, and' of which, the results,
.unless
averted by a merciful Providence, must be anarchy, atheisin,l
and universal ruin. •-- ,

You, Sir, will not,! think).4-ungeperous or unjust enotigh
to say, in reply to all this, that lam a Clergiman, and
have nothing to do with tubjetits of this nalury. ' Others,
however, Wray Urge this Okieetion. To them, therefore, I
would say, that this is not a question of mere politics, but'of
morals, of decency, and of rOigion—a question inrolvinz, iri
my Judgment, the moral purity of all our families, and pa-
rishes, and counties. '1 his brief letter is but w practical corn-
Inent on the doctrines I ant commanded, on the highest au-
thority, to' teach from Sunday to Sunday—" Fear God"-
4' Honour the King"—" 'uncleanness; let it nut. he once
nAtued among. you." .The Clergy are the constituted " plar•
dians of morals" in the country; and now; if ever, they are
called upon to " stand in the breach," and endeavour to
stay.the plague" of political anarchy and moral pollution.
. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
J• W. CUNNINGHAM.
