TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALA.ND TABLET. PlR, —I am much pleaded to find that you have taken the part of Mr D.ivitt, who has done so much for bis coun'ry at gieat sacrifice to himself, and who is now one of the great props of the Home Rule movement. It is a pity he joined the Radicals in this Londoa affair ; but the Radicals at d secularists are Home Rulerp, and be, no doubt, thought it necesnaiy to maintain the alinnce with them, whilst at the same time not in]tiring the Catholic cduc lUonal cauße. Prob-ibly i many cUr^ymen, as well as thus; at the Longhrea and Greenock meetings bave without difficulty condoned his action in those Bchool electio. b, looking at it from this point of view. — I. am, etc., A TRUE TATBIOT.
