MIR. pOuENY,s DEMOCRACY.

Mr.. Dohcny, In his published speech,
ayows himself under great personal obIiga-
tons to the Editor of The Trtbunc-an
ayowal which, he will do US the Justice to
say, had not been anticipated nor solicited
by the other party. This personal obliga-
lion and the gratitude thence resulting are
given TO the public as reasons for his being
naturally biased In favor of Wing argu-
ments, especially ours. Ee says:
"To Mr. Greeley owe more personal Obligations
than TO any living man He kindness to has bsen
10, adjustable 10 has been utterly undeserysd Whom
said tonight frls great reluctance In coming here,
my oblis aaons 10 him were ono Leading cause
We cite this to show that Mr.. d. is in
cliDcd to treat our arguments with peculiar
cOurtesy-as least, with the utmost fair
ness. Let u. SEQ how he does treat them,
then. and we shall DO able to Judge how
cordially he deals with Wing arguments
generally. We had written in Why |
am a Wing"
