ture this winter, as it is supposed to have

Stevenson to Glentworth, beginning Dear

SIR-To prevent any misrepresentation,
we beg leave to state that so far as we are
concerned, we have no objection TO the

To RoBERT H. MoRR1s, Esq.
Recorder of the City of New York
Upon which the editor of the New
York Commercial makes the following
manly and very proper remarks:
'sSuch course was to be expected
from the gentleman who have signed the
card. We hope their example will be
followed by Mr. Glentworth, when no
obstacle will exist TO prevent an exposition
Of all those papers may contain. We be,
lieve that in obtaining the papers, the
Mayor and Recorder have greatly exceed
ed their authority and violated that law
which it is their duty to maintain in its
supremacy and purity; but we desire
nothing more earnestly than that, since
they have been made subject Of public
