SLANDERS ON MR. ARCH.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR:]
SIII,—One of your correspondents last week drew attention to the strong language of the Labourers' C7wonicle. I know that two wrongs do not make one right, but it might be as well to take into account what is said on the other side. Mr. Arch was recently styled by a Dorset paper "an arch-apostle of arson." Captain Arli-wright, M.P., last week styled Mr. Arch at a public meeting "the arch-defiler of his country," and the following elegant paragraph appears in the Dorset Chronicle of the 13th inst. :—" The arch-agitator of our agricultural districte is announced to visit this town [Wimborne] shortly, when he will give an account of his abortive efforts in Canada to provide graves for our honest sons of toil, and entice them to their doom. The Canadian Government has sent the would-be champion back with his colours in the dust."—I am, Sir, &c., CILARLES COX.
