...person referred to - not by name - has since made it clear to us that we did him an injustice in charging him with being the author of the objectionable paragraph in the Advertiser, on which we commented. We are sorry for our mistake, and can only say, in excuse, that we had strong reasons to suppose we were right...

Abolish class feeling, and for each one of the present four classes you will have half a dozen cliques and rings, the influence of which will make their members far more narrow-minded, bigoted, and snobbish than they can ever become while guided...
