1t will be observed by the readers of our highly
respected contemporary, who processes to give fair
play in its columns to all Sides that in quoting from
the official report of the proceedings of the Indiana
democratic State convention, il undertakes to alter
the official report in certain respect SO as to sus-
tain its view of the action of that convention Hav-
ing brought the Sentinel forward as it's witness, we
must question the IteAgeaeers right to discredit it,
the account of the proceedings of the convention as
published in the Chicago Times AN account purport
ing to have been furnished by special correspond
ent of that paper The resolution appears in its col
unns u precisely the form in which il is represented
by the Sentinel to have been passed. II strikes us
that these two ,rnesas are of much higher authority
than the inference Of the Intehgenec that the re-
porter must have fallen into error Tho resolution
in its corrected form appears in yesterdays daily
impression Of the Inte,gener for the first time and
then only in uxtaposition with the statement that it
must have been reported enormously We assure
our neighbor that we feel no solicitude about this
matter except to have political friends correctly
represented
We regret TO find that the Iute,geneer has deviated
far from its hitherto uniform course the true
friend OF law and order" to still countenance
those persons who, by its own showing, ntruded
upon public meeting at Detroit, and endeavored to
interrupt it's proceedings,
