From the Milwaukee
INTOLERANCE.

Q1 THE Kenosba Telegraph pitches into us
for that call for a Mass Convention, in way
that betokens deSfe for skrimmage.
(2) 1t resorts to the low game CT imputing
personal motives and disappointments to us as
the reason for calling such Convention, and
falsely charges that we called it on our own
hook. We say falsely, for Mr. Sholes had the
evidence before him to the contrary we had
never conferred with any one IN regard TO hold
ing such Convention. Mr. Roeser sent us his
letter-a translation of his own artcle-ln his
own handwriting, with request that we shod
publish it. That was the frrt movement to-
ward a Convention, and the first intimation we
had that such movement would be made But
it suits Mr.. Sholes' purpose to charge 1t all up
on us.
(3) Mr. Sholes also accuses us of every '.now
and then inauguratng fuss and muss, &C.
We do not know to what he refers, but II he re-
fers to the Mass Meeting called on the morning
of the last State Convention, we have only to
say, that that was all that saved the Convention
from the entire control of the Known othngs.
az And as to the Republican party having
been always true to its mission, we point to its
Central Committee, majority of whom are, or
were, Know Nothings.
90 Mr. Sholes, feels confident that the vote
of this State will be given to the Philadelphia
nominees. But he was just as certain, up to the
day of election, that the Republican ticket
would be chosen last fall by 10000 majority
(6) Mr.. Sholes is also pleased to say that a
week or two since took formal leave-of the
Republican party, and shook off its dust from
our feet, and that he felt greatly relieved by it,
and breathed freezer in consequence, but mourns
| that ii is not so.
! az For a paper protesting the liberal views it
has done, the article displays more OF an intole-
rant spirit, and more of personal feeling, and of
that kind of appeal in which the lowest partizan
politicians indulge and from which high-minded
and honorable men shrink, than we have seen
! for some time in that portion of the press which
makes pretension to fair and courteous dealing.
Cannot a proposition be discussed on its own
merits, or must recrmnation, innuendo and the
! imputation of unworthy motives minge with all
our discussiOnl Alas that the best OF men
should sometimes exhibit symptoms expected
only from the weakest and wickedest When
passion takes the place OF reason the door of
discussion is closed.
REMARKS.
"a We had particular desire for "skrimmage" but
We deemed important say what did, something
very much like it, skrmmage should be the result
2) We had evidence before the contrary. Mr. b.
may recoect that he forwarded the call by letter. and
his paper containing Mr. Roesers article did not arrive
til the next day, and after article was imprint Mr. b.
win therefore notwithstanding his specific charge false
hood against US, that he mistaken Nor see
that Mr. RS article mend the matter lie does not call any
convention, only expressed wish that might be
called Now ask Mr. b. he did not, himself, write the
call for the convention and put Mr. Roesers it and
himself get the of the We believe Mr. B.
closer to making false statement when he denies calling
the convention his hook than dd in making it,
We very sure had it not been for him this supplement
tary" convention would not have been called
81 Mr.. b. has affirmed about dozen times, less,
think since the conventions that it controlled by
Know Nothngs, and his great trouble is he
in the next sentence that majority of the central commit
tee appointed by that convention knew Nothings. While
them he appear the convention much
his showing, 1t is very popular impression that his
pet the fatal disaster of the campaign That
thing meant, but ALL Not only that move
unnecessary unwise and mischevous but during the whole
of the campaign his paper did us more harm than good And
the conviction that the discouragig art-
ces he wrote during the campaign arose out OF the sores
of his personal dsappointmen For while he compai
ned that the nomination OF Bashord unwse because it
could not and would not excite the enthusiasm OF himself
and other of the old wheel horses of the liberty guard
recOocted that few years earlier when the Free Soil
much ultra and close communion in its char
he among the oudest and most Jealous in urging
the nomination of Farwe and most enthusiastic in his
support. And yet Ar. f. Free Soer and did
pretend to be- and of his first acts after he elected
recommend the observance of the Fugitive Law
he could urge enthusiasm among old Liberty in the
support of Farwe it will be hard relieve his inability
do the for Bashford from the suspicion of personal
motive.
a. Mr. Booth points to the Central Committee, majority
of whom he says Know Nothnss, evidence
that the Republican party is false to its mission And IS
that all? =" o lame and mpotent conclusion! Since the
Republican party was Grgazed i has carried ri pdray al
bly, the Senate and Governor and connected
with its has chosen u s. Senator for six
Not word has Mr. Booth against of these results
their fruits. They all republican, all right but ano
Their convention must be called dscord be introduced into
our ranks, cflaton De commenced anu re-crhhha'oh
follow, and possible victory slip from our grasp, and all be-
cause Mr. b. suspects majority Of the central committee
Know Nohings And what overt act has this
committee done and performed that makes it necessary for
Mr.. b. to rush in to the Republican party. Why
they have called deie9e republican convention and MIR
B. wanted republican convention " The head and
front Of their offending hath that eXtentnO more" Ard
Mr. b. did not want delegate convention and would have
mass convention because the Know Nohing could
troll the former and could not the latter We believe there
is no unpreudiced or sensible man in the state but will adj
nit if the Know Noiug desired party TO control our
convention that they could control Mass convention at
Madison with much greater than delegate convention
This manifest and papable, and will be so universally
acceded to that we will not waste words on It. Theh hr
BIS reasons for mass convention in c"ntradsncon !? a
delegate convention, absurd that we can give nm
credit honesty only at the expense Of his good sense ana
that he has good know. ~
1) We we're not certain up to the day of election. We
entered on the campaign with confidence but the effect OF
Some Of Mr. Booths articles circulated by thousands by the
democrats in extras Diminished confidence very much
alone during the campaign if don't give the state to the
Republican nominee for the Presidency will consent
be written down Ass in prophecy forever thereafter
Is The tone ornured innocence which pervades this pa
graph truly refreshing Ia another place he says he
shouldn't wonder if the republican press generally were
about make assault Oh him. Well should Won
der either the contrary should wonder very much if they
didn't, for attempt this time for at all Ia
distract and divide the party seS than he Is
likely get Such attempts ought to be crushed out without
hesitation. 1t have always been Mr. BIS opinion
that he was much and unreasonably abused by the
Republican press but is time he opened his eyes to the fact
that all this abuse has been the legitimate fruit of his
provoCation. II we have exhibited iemper this
sion and oyersepped the bounds of strict prolrey in
remarks was because the rovocaton was gross and out
rageous. Besides the breaking OF feeling long
pcn up We have felt with reference to his ofrecurring
political cccenrcites very much other Republican e-
tors but slothcred feelings and said nothing in the
hope that time would down his restivene and enable
him endure patiently the collar which be in all
party And when he took leave of the party
posed he had made up his mind pioneer
ring his mission and he could endure the
which party organizing for practical victory necessarily
imposes and took leave OF him kindly and in heart
wished him WE'LL knew it well for those he left
But when he plump back upon US, proposing to have
another Convention to get up another set of delegates
Philadelphia and organize the republican party &c &C.
much for flesh and blood We felt very much like
disappearing and doubtless article took its from
unfortunate of mind Our conduct not have been
highly christian but under the circumstances
ugy human As TO discussing this proposition of another
convention its merits deny that it has any merit
discuss. No vagary of distenrpered imagination mid
night dream unreal unsGbsantal, and mer
teS and il passio did take the place Of reason in a
ding it, it because there appeal TO il
the call
And now, having disposed of Mr.. BIS article, wish
say few words generally We imputed personal motives
and dsappointmcnts MIR b. the for this
We believe it. and that such feelings have under
lain his with the party for long time past We
do know that he is of these noti7esin fact dc
