CoNxEHTs OF THE EOrToR OF THR TINES nN OrE
REroEr.-Thc Editor of the Times says that we
always avail ourselves of an opportunity to
caricsturc his remarks at public meetings, or
elsewhere: that in our report ofthe little emehte
between him and one of the delegates from the
LIST Ward, in the Convention the other day, we
conveyed an impression not warranted by the
occurrence. Now, 20 neighbors own
language, "howeSer much We might dislike him
personally" We wouid not he thought as willing
to do him any injustice. The truth is, We don't
dislike our itnpetnous neighbor half so bad as
he thinks we do; we know hos little rash-a
little hasty; but we think he will come Of all
that, as the horse jockeys say. If our neigh
Dor will point oft when we have done him in
Justice, we are ready with the dmeade honor
bic. But we will leave it to any three members
of that convention, to decide whether or no, We
did not report that little scene" correct. Does
our neighbor pretend to say that the 'Scenc'
did not occurT
The facts arc just these SIR. Vincent called
tho attention of the convention to In article in
the Times of Monday, stating that the ist Ward
delegates were instructed. Mr.. Vincent said
that it was amistake-for the meeting by which
he had been appointed delegate, had not is
sued any instructions He proceeded las We
represented him at the time) to tell how the
second meeting occurred. After Mr.. Vincent
got through, the Editor Of the Times got up
and detailed at length, the reports which had
reached his ears. We gave the substance; per
haps we should say the creme dc Ia creme Of
his remarks: and it amounted to an insinuation
that the first meeting an irregularity-a
Peter Funk sort ola gouge-nnd that a delegate
or delegates had been sent pcdged-not only
pledged, but subOrned by the spoils, to vote for
Mr.. Dorsey.
That was just what we and everybody else in
the Convention, we venture, understood the
gentleman to say. Such would seem to have
been Mr.. Vinccnts idea, for he came right over
to where the editor of the Times sitting, and
he carried on a very animated and emphatic
conversation with the said editor. 1t may have
been Gin the best possible spirit, perhaps, but
judging from the contracted brow, and the ilu-
patient gesticulation of the aforesaid editor, We
certainly thought it did not operate soothing
Ily. That may be only way of the Editors,
however. Mr. Vincent went to his seat, and
in few moments got up, evidently dissatisfied
with the result of his position before the Com
vention. and in his place referred to the insin-
nations or charges made by the said editor
and then and there pronounced the said char
ges, so far as related to himself, "6ltok false
hood" Now, that's the long and short of the
matter. When he (vinccnD 50 pronounced it,
the before mentioned editor Got excited, and said
to DR.. Bates, in an excited yet low tone, ''tcll
the Convention that it was him Cvincent)
meant" Whercupon, Vincent, rising up and
approaching the table, remarked: "irs Jalsei"
A little while after this, Mr., V. happened near
u.s. and judging from some of his comments,
he rather disagreed with our Monroe street 'com-
rade in arms" that the "scenc" "passed off in
the best possible spirit"
So much for our ueighbor's comments up
on our report.
