The Editor of the Mountain Banner is informed
that when the first number of his paper came to hand
in common courtesy directed exchange to be
opened with him. If the Standard has not reached
him regularly, the fault is not ours, has there
been any idea of " foul play" in the matter. We
prefer that the Editor should for himself all we
may have say about his paper; and if he had look
ed in the Standard of the 23d of August, he would
have found that we "welcomed his paper to our ex-
change list and that spoke of its " neatness" and
of the taste - and "ability" with which it is ed-
ted. We also copied at length from his columns,
on the question of Equal Suffrage, and commended
him for his independence in differing from Wing
leaders in this region.
We have no reply to make to the Banners supposed
reasons why the Standard has not been received
The Editors exhibition of -nature cannot harm u.s.
but if he thinks his remarks called fo or that
they are worthy of press, when speaking of the
intercourse which usually subsists with another,
tainly we shall have nothing to say.
