The Herald, and those with whom it acts, may rest
assured that if angry discussion should arise during
the coming contest for municipal officers, we, at
least, shall not be chargeable with it. We shrink
from responsibility properly belonging to the po-
sition we have deemed right 20 assume, and shall
speak plainly and openly; yet, we trust to use It's
own language, " Calmly, dispassionatey and cour-
teously" Such we believe to be the position of every
friend of the movement first publicly initiated at the
Court House The Herald does wrong, we are will
ing to believe unnentionaly TO the speakers at the
Court House 1t confounds what were charged as
the tendencies of an order uniting politics with rel-
gion, with assertions that it had actually reached
that point in this place We are aware also of other
totally erroneous reports of expressions used, which
reports we are also willing to believe have originated
in msconcepti,n, bu, which shall be noticed at the
proper time and place. Excitement, we presume.
cannot be avoided undue bitterness, we think may,
and it is the duty of all to act with reference TO the
attainment of this desirable end What must come,
must come, we suppose, but let it not be unnecessary
" sought tor, nor aggravated. Let US, to some
what contradictory expression, fight in peace.
