'i"n Of Ihese two important points 4. such thai There
has for many years been rivalry between I,en. /
as places Of business. and we are of opinion thai
the ceniToversy that we have been forced into by
tho editors OF Pitsburgh upon the subject must be
disgusting 10 the mass Of our readers abroad az wei,
as u.eirs. and we have always shunned il, nor.
especially have We avoided making my personal
allusion 10 the business reputation Of her citizens
or TO pittsburgh as a place Of bazines-. We are
sorry to say, fer the honor Of Pittsburgh and Of the
editorial corps. that The courtesy has not been re.
