FROM THE soUTHEN PATRIOT OF FEB: Z.
The Council, it appears to US, 10 exclud-
ing the Federal Officers from their proposed
banquet to MIR. LEIGH, have offered a delib
ate affront to those functionaries. We say
excluding, for the effect is the same as If
they had been formerly excluded. On no
similar occsion has the discrimination been
made between the Federal Officers and those
of the State and City. The Council have
denomnated, their proposed entertainment
to Mr.. Leigh ga tribute of respect from the
community"
Is the community at large respected, or
the feelings Of party consulted, when stu
died affront is offered TO those Federal Of
ficers who compose a respectable portion OF
the community? Again it is usual to extend
the courtesy Of an Invitation to Officers Of
| the Army and Navy. which may happen
| to be on the station. Is the exclusion, in
this instance, departing from invariable
usage, another sacrifice 10 party considera-
lions? In fact. the whole proceeding bears
the stamp ofparty. AS such it will be view
ed by the community at large and abroad
! Let the thing be called by its proper name,
viz: "An intended tribute of respect from the
Notification Party to Mr.. Leigh" and not
ga tribute of respect Ito that gentleman
| from the community"
