Respectfully yours, NICHOLAS MCCARTHY.
CEs5-We publish the above note from Mr.. McCariy
very willingly, and shall make charge against
him therefor. We should with equal pleasure publish
communication from him giving his views relative
to measures Of Wing policy; but he seems to think
these matters much less important than Judge Wck's
rebukes addressed Democrats in Congress-
which deemed by comparatively unimportant.
Mr.. McCarty differs with TO the proper inter
probation of this sentence from the speech of Judge
Wick, from which we published an extract in our
last paper, to wit:
Z" If you have not the moral courage to do the right
thing from love of country, at least do it in defence
Of your desks here and the eight dollars per day"
Instead of taunt and an mputation of colcardig
sefshness Mr.. McCary still adheres to his proiessed
belief that the insulting remark was actually riend
recommendation y! How it is possible for a man
Of bis natural good sense and sound judgment about
ordinary Matters to become all at once so incorrgi
bly, obtuse he appears be about this matter, i:
unaccountable upon any of the common principles d
ratiocination. We cannot conceive how any man o.
common judgment can read the speech Of Judge
| Wick, appreciate the spirit which characterizes i
from beginning TO end, and the declared object be
had in view, and yet come TO such absurd conclu
sion that protested to be entertained by Mr.. Nc
Carly. One would suppose that lie knew nothing
about the quality of irony, though perhaps very
good Judge of that of iron.
The conclusion of Mr.. McCarty is so utterly alb
surd, weak and foolish, that we confess it is painful
to US argue about it. for has sake quite as much a.
our own. For that reasons far we are concerned
we are quite willing that the matter should be settle,
in the way he proposes, in any other way he ma,
choose. We can hardly believe. however, that tlH
gentlemen named by Mr. McCarty as referees, vii
assume the attitude of Thinking Machines for tn
people Of the district but perhaps he may be able tt
reconcile them to it. If so, we shall not fail to pub
lish the verdict gratis.
