GenomeR-i find in the Weekly Delta of the lJth Apyil
that the editors requested by Mr.. DeBow of the Com
mecial Review. liz answer to the abusive letter of La
ourohe in the Crescent of yesterday state that sense of
personal dignity prevents other rejonder than this thai
the facts in egsrd TO the production and consumption o
sugar IN the United states and the world predcaed
upon the statistics OF Hunts Merchants Magazine fo
August e5O and that these facts yary on the

DeBow Tor such Of do secession isunion

Mr. DeBow is aware, and SO admits in the February npm

Mr. DeBow has strange conception OF the rghts and

Having devoted sufficient time and space to Mr. DeBox
