THE CAVERSHAM ELECTION.
To the Editor, Sib,—Your correspondent “Saul,” in last night’s issue, finds fault with Mr Stoat’s well-known assertion “that religion has nothing to do with politics.” In one sense this Is quite true, tor the electors should vole for the best man, irrespective of creed ; but if any candidate makes nse of such a maxim in the sense that there is no God, as Bradlaugh did at Kilmarnock, then assuredly it is the duty of all men of every creed to reject such a man, who ignores or is unable to apprehend the foundation principle of civil society. Kilmarnock rejected Bradlaugh, and all English journals, from the Time* downwards, ( excepting the Reformer , applauded that wise action. Caversham can dispense with those who acknowledge no religion, and therefore no moral obligations. —I am, Ac., Day id. Dunedin, June 19.
