Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1859-01-21

Mr.. Edmunds communication on tuesday,
as they say, and yet we did not publish it
that week. 1t is always dangerous to give
lectures upon breaches of courtesy based upon
assumptions which may prove groqndcss, and
thus the breach of courtesy is at once shown to
be on the other party. In this case it is
not true that we received the article on Tues
day; we did not receive it until Wednesday,
and until after our paper was made up And
we stated that the article was received too
late but these patterns Of courtesy violate
editorial courtesy by refusing credit to our
assertion, assume the contrary to be true, and
then intimate a want Of courtesy in us -
Even if we had delayed publication until we
could make the proper comments. it would
not have been improper or unusual But
what makes the complaint quite ridiculous is,
that the same communication, although adj
dressed to us, was published in the Burlng-
ton Free Press beiore-our paper of that week
was issued, with comments and additions.
There is one part Of the article in the Free
Press that is exceedingly amusing as illustra-
tive Of the curious logic to which Burlington
has been driven The Free Press objects to
