BRADLAUGH UPON KENEALY.

You call yourself the "the only man in England who dares to denounce the present system of Government ; " you, who take poor men's pence, avowedly for a political association, but really for your own purse. Why do you not denounce the corruption of Government in Parliament? You have been in the House of Commons a whole session, and you have not so much as investigated a single item of national expenditure, spoken against one useless vote of supply, or referred to a solitary point of bad government outside the Tichborne case. You call yourself a "Cromwell." Cromwell never went about in a carriage and outriders paid for by mean pretence ; Cromwell faced the Commons like a man ; you whine there like a hound afraid of the whip. You a Cromwell! You hre fond of figures of speech ; so says rather a half-bred mongrel cur, which viciously barks until it provokes a possible retaliation, and then slinks away with its tail hanging piteously down. You a Cromwell! Cromwell never got himself up testimonial funds. Cromwell never wrote private letters pressing other people to find out what funds were being raised for the testimonial. Cromwell— although, after his light, a tyranically religious man—never tried to slander everyone whose nonconformity went further than his own. Cromwell was a man, not a wind-blown bladder, with umbrella, spectacles, and a brief bag full of forms of begging letters for poor men's money. You a " Cromwell," and "the leader!" Why, you are so foul a counterfeit of a Cromwell that you can never pass current, unless, indeed, lying Jean Luie may also be taken for truthful John Milton.— Tke World.
