SlR,—The Vicar of Harrow's letter to Mr. Whithreaii,
has occasioned me the deepest and most heartfelt con-
cern. I know and esteem the writer as a learned mu.
a gentleman, and a Christian Minister, mail am therefore
the more grieved that he should lend himself to a work
of persecation and conspiracy, the foulest and most
'atrocious, bemuse the most cool blooded and systematic.
that ever disgraced the annals of this or any other
country. I have chosen the Motto to this Letter with a
view to convince him that I am a Radical in more seines
' than one, as also to convey my feeling sense of the present
state of our political horizon. With great deference I
inform the learned gentleman that I bare been looking
' into Johnson and cannot hind the political critic that
contains all the maxims, qualities, and antichristian
fruits which he ascribes to the term " Radicalism ;" there
is in fact, no such word to be found in that excellent
author; and yet the learned Minister of Harrow
adopts it as a true one, comprehending atheism, deism,
scepticism, anarchy, and I know not what dreadful evil
I beside. Why should an evangelical clergyman descend
to borrow epithets from the unhallowed mouths of such
vile Ansi detestable hypocrites •
as • •• •, •• • •
• • • • and Co., who while they profess a high vene-
ration foe the religious institutions and morals of the
country, yet to
gratify the criminal designs of another, can inundate
the land with details of tne vilest and most beastly kind,
affecting the honour and character of their illustrious
and persecuted Queen. It is truly lamentable, Sir, to
see a minister of such high character pandering to cor-
ruption, losing sight of the clear and positive commands
of his divine Master, and giving so much reason to
suspect that the lawn sleeves, and not the glory of God.
is his object. The holy and beautiful sincerity and firm-
ness of the disciples of Jesus Christ seem, indeed, to he
exchanged for time sophism of the political and anti-
scriptural partisan or votery. When be triumphantly
