TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS

We thank the clergy and the laity who have so kindly written to assure us of their satisfaction with the New Zealand Tablet, and their approval of its policy of honest criticism. From four gentlemen we havereceived expressions of regret that, (a) we give such prominence to the wrongs of Ireland (b) that we express what we know to be true, and abstain from unwarranted ' mafficking,' concerning the war; (c) that our words in reference to the wanton attacks of Orangemen and others are too virile and perhaps vulgar.' It is unnecessary to say that we will go on exactly as we have begun, and that we recognise the right of no journal in New Zealand to give us lessons in English. We are quite content to have the approval of all those whose opinions we value. Ed," N.Z. Tablet.
