AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Freeman's Journal responds to an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald on 14 August 1868. Freeman's contends that the Herald's item is typical of ‘the way in which the evangelical print assails the Freeman.’

Freeman's concludes that the Herald is 'destitute of principle, it panders to the prejudice and bigotry which exist among us unfortunately, and knows no guide but the fickle blast of popular favour. It will continue to malign and calumniate the Freeman without regard to truth or decency, but we are satisfied to let our intentions and our expressions be judged by the good sense and fair play of the entire body of colonists.'
