• Stn—The essadect N ISatidt, in the onamination of
F otrebwe, does set apprae to me to have yet rosei►ed its
rroper etplanation.—Whetever mei hers hoes his ma
tires, and 1 sot mean to impeach them, his conduct
'wring rridestly wrong, when decided upon by this immu•
/Able prioeipl♦—Ma! no wan *tight to scfrrfbr Ala opi-
*iota! Overt acts alone ought to be the subjects of
human punishment, and opinions should be u free as
A. air we breathe.

It is on the same ground. that I conceive Carlile to
he at present suffering an nnjust punishment. It is
true, that he was tried in a public Court of Justice, and
that a verdict was given against Mai by a Jury of his
country; but all these circumstances can never alter the
nature of truth, or destroy the integrity of immutable
principles.
Roth Kotzebue and Carlile suffered for their opi-
nions; and, though there is a great difference in their
mode and degree of sufferings, they both suffer for opi-
Nies, and therefore both suffered wrongfully.
That opinions of every kind and degree ought to he
free, is a self-evident proposition; and those Govern-
ments, or individnals, who violate it. commit an act of
the most obvious injustice. If you punish me because
I differ front you, I aseroptally entitled to punish you
because you differ front me.
By inserting these few thoughts, that may serve to
ilhtstrateiss important principle, you will oblige
l'our's, &c.

TO THE EDITOR.

Is other men we faults can epv,
And Mime the mote that dints their eye.

St•—The Rev. Rowland Hill, in his recent speech at
the )letting of the Educational Cletiiing Society, ex-
pressed his wonder how the Pipe first obtained the
" title of his Holiness 1."

As this Rev. Headman possesses a very merry con-
stitution, his remarks occasioned of course a consider-
able deal of merriment among his auditors.
Hut it occurred to me, that the same question which
he put respecting the Pope, may, with equal propriety, be
put to hints 4/; viz.—How, Reverend Sir, did you first
obtain the title of Revereadt

The claims of both those gentlemen appear to me to
stand upon equal grounds; and the Reverend Gentle-
man should not laugh too soon at his Holiness, lest his
ilol[ueu should tarn round, and laugh again at him.

You's, lor.
