She9aSHo Va Jul iicSpbHAcHtsa anu SUCH
news as we have at hand, and are consequent
ly restricted to few words from ourselves.
!. CT The Times has couple of columns
or SO, in continuation of the controversy be-
tween US, but as it still avoids the explicit
points, and tries to dodge about in the by
ways and hedges, and as our readers have
had the whole subject, with tie points and
character Of the Times replies before them,
and are ableto Judge precisely and accurately
OF the merits and conclusions Of the whole
matter, 1t is unnecessary for us to consume
any more time in this discussion.
The bufonery and profanity of this last ar
OF the Times, may suit its readers and if so
we shall be glad to see them gratiied, though
we might dispute the taste which is pleased
with such tone. All that we can afford to
pass over in silence. And we shall take no
further notice of the whole article than 10
present a couple of specimens of its truthful
ness when it pretends to state matters Of fact
For instance:
~ says that the members of the present
Republican party, few months ago, under
the auspices of Mr.. Seward, went into the
hhow Nothing movement. Everybody Of de-
cent political information knows that Mr..
Seward has from first to last been one Of the
most thorough opponents of Know Nothing
ism in the country.
IL says that one Of the editors Of the Gate
cay was prominent actor in the late Know
Nothing Convention at Iowa City. On the
contrary, be was not in the Convention at all
and not even in that city.
1t apologies for the use of profane Ian
guage by saying that nothing else enables it
o 90 justice to the subject! Natural enough.
When men are foiIed at every point in argu-
ment, they generally take to hard words in
their desperation.
