Southern Press had announced that he would be pesen, by
invitation some persons expressed the opinion that the voice
of disunun might be heard the soil OF the od Dominion
The Southern Press itself vas silent on the
passing the notice OF the Piedmont wing "hi'h
r;dculed the dinner as very slim affair." not more
than from three ID forty eh, persons being pre-
sen we relied entirely upon the Warrenlon Flag whose
editor had moved the resolution inviting Alessrs Mason and
Hunter TO the dinner We published every word OF that pa
pe notice Of the dinner and expressed our pleasure a

H. As for the valiant offer OF the Enquirer 10 stand BY the

"The present fugitive bill repealed II will not be repealed

bill before sessions of Congress over and In
stead OF this being done BY Northern majority il will be
done by compromise and by the aid of Southern votes,
and the Enquirer will rejoice that the love oi Union per-

We do not care whether the "Souhen Press" be "sick-
ened shall rely more upon the Flags version of
the scenes Of the dinner than upon its aundced vision We
did say that the dnnermeetins Al Warenon rega ded
