Any person who has twopence to spare may do worse
with it than buy the last number of HoEnceles Pamphlets ; where he will find a letter from Mr. GEORGE SINCLAIR, amusing from the impudence of the writer, and his pretensions to superior piety as well as political wisdom. lir. Siser..‘, coinplains that Mr. llonsuel: had described hum us being " quite crazy," and writes this letter to prove himself " any thing but that." lie twits the Radicals with having been outwitted and cajoled by their allies the Whigs; declares that " no measure will ever be- come the law of the laud which does not, in all its principles and all its details, receive the sanction and approval of Lord STANLEY and Sir Ronsar PEEL; " that the ]louse of Lords, " by a system of conces- sion, only lowered themselves in public estimation," but that by " set- ting at nought the reiterated bravadoes intended to appal them from the discharge of their duty, they have regained that high,position from which (Mr. Sintsot trusts) they will never descend." This is the language of a man who professed himself a Reformer, in order to dupe the constituents of Caithness, whom lie now avoids like a guilty creature!
Mr. ROEBUCK., in reply, observes that he did Lot call Mr. Sim:Lam "quite crazy "—his words were "Mr. SINCLAIR seems crazy ;" and he adds, that lie did not mean to offend Mr. SINCLAIR ; having used the term "somewhat jocosely "—intending merely to intimate, that, as we sometimes say of a man much in love, "that he is crazy about his mis- tress," so Mr. SINCLAIR was in "a similar state of exaltation or ex- citement on all religious-political subjects." To his letter Mr. Ros- BUCK has appended some remarks, in which he very cleverly and suc- cessfully demonstrates the utter fallacy of his "crazy " correspondent's views on the political questions of the day.
