BASE UNPRINCIPLED CALUMNY.
111 HE following letter was delivered to Mr. Joseph Crisp,
1 at the Amphitheatre, for presentation to the Protestant
Conservative (or, as it might be with more propriety be called,
the Liverpool Wicked, Lying, Bigotted, Catholic and Social-
ist Persecution) Society, at their Great Annual Meeting,
held there on Thursday, the Bth instant, for the purpose of
upholding Priestcraft, by keeping alive the spirit of hatred,
contention, and strife, between Churchmen, Catholics, and
Dissenters. As this notable body have not yet thought fit to
send me an answer, I think it my duty thus to place this
letter before the public. JOHN FINCH.
Sir Thomas Buildings, 16th Oct., 12 o'clock.

" Liverpool, October 8, 1840.
" TO MR. JOSEPH CRISP, SECRETARY TO THE LIVERPOOL

PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.

" SlR,—The Liverpool Protestant Conservative Associa-
tion having, through their vile hired emissary the Rev. John
Brindley, publicly calumniated my character, and charged
me before large audiences of my fellow-townsmen with fraud
and swindling, and having given no answer to the two last
letters from the Council of the Liverpool Branch of the
Universal Community Society of Rational Religionists,
challenging Mr. Brindley to a full, free, and fair discussion
of the principles of Socialism, on his own terms, one of those
letters having been sent to him on Monday morning last, and
the other yesterday afternoon.
" I hereby demand that the Protestant Conservative As-
sociation, remembering the recent case of HEARNE V.
STOWELL, either publicly withdraw those base calumnies
and libels on my character, or that they immediately call
another Public Meeting, in the Amphitheatre, with admission
to all Classes and Parties, at a charge not exceeding one
penny each, to defray expenses. And I hereby summon the
Committee of the Protestant Conservative Association, and
their witness, the Rev. John Brindley, to that Meeting, and
I further demand that a copy, in writing, of the specific
charges made against me, be sent to me, at least three days
before the Meeting takes place : your answer is requested
before Six o'clock this Evening.
" I am, your obedient Servant,
" JOHN FINCH."

N.B.—The lying statements of Mr. Brindley, at the Am-
phitheatre, and the shuffling conduct of himself and his Com-
mittee, respecting a Public Discussion, will be properly no-
ticed, at the Hall of Science, on Sunday Morning, and
Sunday Evening next. No answer having been given by Mr.
Brindley's Committee to our last letter, delivered to them on
Wednesday last by Mr. Hollick's Committee, the remainder
of the correspondence will be published immediately, and
may be bad of Mr. STEWART, Social Bookseller, White-
chapel ; Mr. SHEPHERD, Socialist Bookseller, Vauxhall-
road ; or at the Hall of Science, Lord Nelson-street.
Lectures every Sunday Morning, at Eleven o'clock, and
Sanday Evening, at Half-past Six.
