MR BRADLAUGH.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir- Your morning contemporary, in a "milk-and-water" leader tries to make himself understood on the case of Mr Bradlaugh and the taking of the oath question. The writer is possessed of an obliquity of moral vision beautiful to behold. The convenient way in which he would turn his coat or hide his religious convictions as occasion required is edifying in the extreme. He accuses Mr Bradlaugh of having no principles. But, ye gods ! What are his own ? He need not trouble himself about the result of Mr Gladstone's motion. William Ewart Gladstone recognises the sterling worth of Charles Bradlaugh (atheist as he is), knowing that his proper place is in the Parliament of the nation, fighting in a legal and constitutional manner for the cause of human progress, and the furtherance of the religion of humanity. And Charles Bradlaugh, notwithstanding an army of such puny writers as your contemporary employs, can well take care of himself and his cause. No man better.— l am, &c, Veritas.
