4 Western Man on the Parsons.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Inave read the HERALD for long time, and it ia
generally on the side OF justice, and strikes the
chords OF the pubic heart pretty often. The HERALD
has taken The conservative ground between violent
condemnation and extravaRant praise OF Fisk,
know the people IN the West and the HERALD's view
OF the character OF Fisk will be that Of the public
mind ana heart. We have had the opinions OF the
most learned and unearned divnes and OF many OF
the best writers of the New York press. A Western
mans opinion may not be uninteresting to the
HERALD readers. If You desire to ruin q principle
and disgust men with II, carry 1t to an extreme; be
bigoted, be fanatica, be monOnlaniacal IN advOcat
ing It, and the pest part OF humanity Will turn from

cipIes Of Christianity, and practice few OF them;

inteiects and lnveterate pre!udlces OF ATHEISM or
deism. The defenders Of MI: FisK's character seem
to rush into the same violent extreme that the
other parties do In deaming IT. One represents
him Is concentration personihcation OF all
slniulness and moral degradation. and the others
present him "a u paragon Of all manly qualities

spirit Of Love, make many OF those who
believe Christianity shudder at the Violence inrls
tlce and even malignlty OF their language. have
read the HERALD more or less since FISK appeared

say from the knowledge OF Fisk thus gained, that
he was a man OF powerful and positive character.
