MARTIN LUTHER.

To the Editor of the THAMES GUARDIAN. Sir, —I have read what I call the twaddle of your trio of correspondents in yesterday’s issue, and I am really led to exclaim “ What has the Rev. Mr. Williams said or done to call forth the spiteful and venomous attacks of the three Protestant (?) scribblers. I hold that in this tree country, every man has a perfect right to express his honest convictions, not only of such heroes as Martin Luther, but also of any system of doctrines or practices to which they may be opposed. Is Mr. Williams then to he branded as a bigot simply because, Luther like, he had the manliness to speak of a system which has been compared to “ a ship launched amidst the eclipse of reason, leaks fearfully, and sinks inch by inch into a hopeless abyss V'(sic). I for one cannot conceive the force of such a procedure, and they are worse than bigots who are guilty of such conduct. In my opinion, Mr. Williams nor Mr. Buller can be charged with the intention of creating a bad feeling iu the minds of Catholics. On the contrary, your three correspondents are to blame for introducing the subject into the columns of a newspaper.—l am, &c., Adam Krule. November 7, 1871.
