THE ELECTION FOE NORTHAMPTON.
A Northampton Correspondent writes: —"I dare say you hare seen from the papers the commotion this country has been in from the general election, and also how much our town is disgraced by the return of an infidel—an atheistmember to Parliament. You are well acquainted with the republican scoundrel, Charles Bradlaugh, editor of the National. Reformer. He is the man who is now our representative'and it is the cannaite-~-the shoemakers and dissenters whom we have to thank for bringing this reproach upon us, and I fear we shall not reap > much benefit from Gladstone's Premiership, in place of the heroic aad manly Beacon sfield. lam no friend or advocate of these horrid radicals having too muoh power." This letter shows some of the inhabitants of the bootmaking city are highly exercised at having their town represented by Mr Bradlangh.
