A letter in verse form, supposedly from the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald to the governor, Sir George Gipps. The editor offers the view that the Atlas newspaper should be crushed for supporting the cause of the squatter. (Gipps and the Sydney Morning Herald were viewed as opposing the squatter's cause.)
