TIE TriJynes course in allowing utterance through
its columns to opinions which differ widely from those
of its Editor But since censor does not try TO
meet our positions nor even to understand them. we
cannot see that any good is likely to be attained by
pursuing the discussion. We do not differ with our
contemporary so much with regard to the evil potency
of opinions with regard to the proper mode
ofcombatine them We feel that such opinions acquire
very much of their influence and credit from tic mpu
ny accorded them through the culpable silence neglect
and seeming cOwardice of those who should combat
and expose them. The rank soil in which they -four
ish is Popular Ignorance; and that ignorance TIE
Couritr's course tends directly to perpetuate Nay
our untaught inexperienced youth too often accord
weight TO the sophisms of Error to which they are by
no means entitled because observing that they are an
