QUEER CoRREsPoNDENcE-A few days since
the National Democrat announced the arrival
of Mr.. Campbell, its Fraser river correspon-
dent. Mr. Campbell having favored the EX-
press with his correspondence during his So
iourn in the Fraser country, and, until his
return. having never heard of the existence
the Democrat, was little surprised to ind
himself its correspondent An investigation
led to the discovery that one OF his letters,
addressed to the editor of the Express, and
which never reached this office, was PUBLISH
ed in the Democrat some weeks since, ad-
dressed to the editor of that paper That Is
all we know of the manner in which the De-
rnocrat came to have Fraser river CORES
pondent.-ErpresS.
ANY body who knows us, and whose opin-
ions we respect, knows that we are ADORE the
reach of any such petty insinuation as is
contained in the above paragraph. We can
therefore afford to despise it. The letter in
question was not addressed to the editor of
the Express" but to John r. Ridge, personal
ly. 1t is true that when Mr.. Campbell pro
missed to write to US we were editor Of the
Express, but we had always been on friendly
terms with Mr.. Campbell as his visit to our
sanctum after his return, would evidence,
and we naturally concluded that he would as
soon write to us as editor of the DEMOCRAT as
he would to write to us as editor of any other
paper Had we known that Mr.. Campbell
was at all squeamish about writing for Il
Douglas paper, We should certainly have
done up his effusion in Il new envelope and
sent it to his much loved Express; for in the
old envelope it would have never reached
straight to us every time. One thing, how
ever, we would say in this connection, and
that is, if Mr.. Campbell looks upon our paper
in such a light as to think himself compro-
missed by having one of his letters appear in
its columns, we should suppose it would be
more becoming in him to avoid our sanctum
We certainly looked upon his visit as a
friendly one, and he gave us no reason to sup
pose that he entertained any regrets at hear
ing that one of his letters had been published
in this paper.
As to the glory of having Mr. Campbell
for correspondent, whether from Fraser
river or anywhere else, the Express is wei
come to it. Mr., Campbell is very sensible
letter-writer, and his correspondence from
Fraser river was interesting, but we don't
consider him such Bayard Taylor, in his ira
lelng correspondence as to induce us to
quarrel over the honor of ofhaving had him for
correspondent.
So much for matter which was hardly
worth the space we have devoted to it. If
here is anything that we do heartily detest,
t is these peurile newspaper battles about
matters of no particular moment to the pub
ic.
