astonished that IN editor, laying any claims to re.

paid any attention to the subject. that does not
know, and will not admit that the assertion Is
false and unlounded. Policy, if not principle
wo should think, ought to induce the editor tc
come little nearer the truth in his statements
But this charge of extravaganza, false, unloundc'
