THE MODERATE LEAGUE.

To the Editor of THE SIN. Sir, —In ancient times an ipastoralist had a very extended argu-« mient with one of his friends, and iri ;his peroration thus deliveredhimself: I "Oh that mine adversary had writ-* Ten a book!" The executive of the league did not exactly write a book, but they lacked the caution display* ed by Job's antagonist, and commitI ted to print some proposals which have caused a considerable amount of unfavourable comment. Disowned by the local president, weighed ;in the balance and found wanting by, | The Sun, lam sure that the execu* tive's next contribution to a eon-« tentious subject will be perused with} much interest.—l am, etc., A.
