Bm: Ono OF your correspondents ID fearful Of
the rosult to Christianity OF Horny Ward Deoch-
et's condemnation, and yet he Is certain Of
Bcooher'a innocence. Speaking for portion Of
tue public who four nothing for Christianity In
this regard. and yot who arc BY no means satis-
fod Of Deeohers innocence, I beg to be heard In
their behalf. -
Your correspondent would have us believe
that, 90 far as this accusation Is concerned,
Henry Ward Beeoher 10 beyond reproach, and
Theodore Tiltou ID beneath contempt. In neither
OF thosc, hia positions, am inclined to agree
with him. 80.

is nbortlno, froe-iover, . liar, and znaniao,-
nay, even regarding him as lnave. = dog, an
inado1, and tlond ,-ono thing is vet certain: ho
WAS once one OF HeaEY Ward Boecher'a dearoat
friends, II, then, Doeoher betrayed tho faith Of
friendship and dishonorod tho man who trusted
in him, tho fact Of Tilton's infamy changes not
tho fact Of Doecher's adultery.
But am QUO Of thoaa who thlnk they $40
manifest purpose In thus attempting to blaoken
in advance tho character Of tie acousor Of tho
great Plymouth orator. Without further proof,
