We are occasionally called on by letter or o.

Our friends ought to understand that Nav.

the fact 10 that going to the Pos. OHice, Viii.
our correspondent seems TO regard as the eou,o.
privilege OF al men, 10 to him an unkno va u.,-,
and it il not surprising that man who i've. !,
such Q hurry, should sometimes be guilty Of a.
parent impolitenea. For ourselves, wa as.
greatly obliged to our many correspondents 70,
their favors. and we will say that we think the,
an extremely polite, patient and admirable a,
offelows. Bat if they wish their articles 70 Ia
preserved and retained in case we are unable "a
publish them, they would do well to make i'm.
note TO that effect on one corner Of the mann.
scripe Then We will promise 10 ful6l thai,

But if they do not care about it, why les then
say nothing and il their papers are 40. printed
we will guarantee that they shall never return .
disturb the repose of their authors.
Another friend, whose letter has been los, IA
our pile" or it would have been noticed sOoasn
reads us lecture for allowing some OF oar OsAs,
correspondents to speak slightipgly OF the Chris
tan Church and its Ministers, that being the ssns
thing az to speak in derogstion OF Christianity
itself, Now he would do well 10 remember that
in The Tribune our practice 10, as far as may BE-
to give pretty free scope to discussion. aud that
we admit articles against our own convictions
about as esdily as in favor of them. He giva
an illustration Of the fault he charges on as az on.
Of g letter from our correspondent at Dabin,
which he says offers q specimen Of all our regular
contributions. The quotation runs thus
Fbefe IL IN ru,h striking similarity between thesprl

This, Mr. Critic thinks, is injurious TO Christie
nifty, for the reason that you can't seParase aoaas
from those who uphold it. We must say we think
this is about as poor reason as could be given
1t does no harm to the truth to set out the red
character Of those who claim TO be its special re-
representatives., above all if their claim Is doubt
ful one. One great thing to be done 10 to ses tho
reality into view, aud make persons and inssin
lions stand for Just what they are. II thing %
true, we 20 for saying it; and if a man or elan Of
men have wrong notion, let them out with is
and be set right. For instance, there are many
sincere and able men who think that the Charch
and the Ministry have gone so far astrsy from
Christianity that they have quite forgot what
is. Now it is better that they should lay their ar
suments before the public and let them be replied
TO by sincere and able men on the other side.
We, Of course cannot undertake regularly to give
room to any such discussion. but shall very likely
publish things occasionally on both SIDES OF that
and other questions. That has hitherto been our
habit. and We expect to keep it up. Whoeverb
afraid of free discussion or who believes 10
only when il does not tread on his PARTICIPATES
makes a mistake when he takes The Tribune.
And now our correspondent will lot US assus
bin that the writer from Dublin who is suilyd
dispersgiDg the clergy, il himself An orth odO1clsr
gyman OF peschable standing, who would DO
the last person to say anything Injurious TO bis
ai,h or I'D Just 10 his profession.
