q. B. c. whom we intended TO have
noticed last week, after having spun ont
two or three columns to prove that the
distress Of the laboring classes in En-
gland is in no way connected with the
unjust and infamous restrictive policy of
that country, before closing his article
admits all that we originally contcndcd
for, which we will here show in his own
language. Near the close Of his e~rratick
production he says: The absurdity Of
charging the British Tariff Oppressive
and unjust as it most unquestionably IS
to tax the laborer for the benefit Of the
land holder) and their Bank, with being
the exclusive cause Of the vast amount
Of human misery which abounds in that
great nation, is sufficiently apparent.
We could not ask him to admit more, for
as we said before, it is all we %contended
for in the first place; that the laboror
was taxed to the very dust, and for WHAT?
The answer is a plain one: To make
the rich richer and ~aristocracy moro aris-
tocratic. This is British policy-and
that starvation and death are its concomI-
tants is matter of history, known and be-

that they are the leading and potent ones

of d." that l am personally alluded 10
in reference to the publication Of a chap.
ter, in our last weeks paper, of a work
designed for the press so soon as a suf-
fcient number Of subscribers is obtain
ed to justify the undertaking. The wri-
ter of the article says:
"Only observing, in conclusion, that l
thought it somewhat surprising, that the
article under consideration, containing
such sentiments as it does, should have
been published without a word of COM
ment from one at least of the editors Of
your valuable paper, who is a minister
of a Christian church,"
In reply to which I will say: lst, l
did not consider it proper to bring MY
ministerial character into exercise in the
discharge of my duties as co-editor Of a
literary newspaper; q, we had agreed
to publish the work for the author, and
for this reason, it would have been in
consistent to have made an attack upon
it; Sd, this chapter was published as 4
specimen, from which the public are to
form their opinions touching the merits
or dement's of the contemplated book.
and it would have been ungenllcmanly
10 attempt to f~3rcstall public opinion in
regard to it, before this chapter had been
examined. The following sentiment |
think a good one: "therc is nothing too
sacred nor too profane for examination"
However, hold myself in readiness al

~cumstances, TO give IN opinion of that
