"LORD TORN."
14th October 1856.
Sm—I beg to thank you for your article in last week's number headed " Lord John" : and I take it as a sign that your sense of fair dealing is awakened to the injustice that has been done by the press, and the public led by the press, to that once popular person. Whatever may have been his mistakes in the past two years, they are not surely such as to outbalance former services. Nor has the result of the last session made it clear that we can afford to throw over with indifference our quondam Palinurus. Now that, by a sufficient absence from office, he has washed out the real or imputed stains, the time seems to have come when we may desire to see hire reinstated in his position, and again acknowledged as the tried leader of Liberal government in this country.
I am, Sir, your obliged and constant reader, M.A., Oxoniensis.
