" WII0 IS THE TRAITOR
TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR,
Loudon. 27th September 1535.
Si—lo a recent number of your journal, Mr. WA an, the able and indepen- dent Member for Sheffield, was reminded, that some further explanation and particulars of the charge brought against Mr. O'CoxisELL and the Irish Mem- bets, of urging Ministers to give them a Tithe-bill without the Appropriation. clause, would be very desirable. Mr. WART), I understand, professed to speak of his own knowledge to that important fact. Knowing so much, it is diffi- cult to conceive that he could not, it' he chose, tell more. And it is fit that Mr. WARD Should be aware that some additional information is considered necessary, to show that Le, a Ministerialist, did not lightly hazard the statement in question with a view to aid Ministers—to suggest something like an apology fur their dereliction of principle. Such was palpably the motive with which a similiar explanation of' the Ministerial backsliding was originally given in a newspaper notoriously prostituted to Downing Street uses. that, independently of personal considerations, Mr. Waal) owes it to the public to state what he knows of a transaction which so materially affects the character of no small number of the Irish Representatives. If the truth is precisely what has been stated, then 1, for one, shall know in future what to think of Mr. °Tors Nzt.r. and his set. I run, Sir, your humble servant, A FRILND TO PLAIN DEALING.
