Putting too Fine a Point on it.

Our neighbor Of the Journal seems deter
mined to put entirely too 6ne point upon
It's Vrtus. We said on Saturday that there
was an smsufe in the Republican Committee
roum in CoIum BUS, last week, when tie resi-
olutions were being considered in that place;
especially was this true while the "4th' resc
olutien, in regard to the rights of native and
adopted citizens, was being discussed, We
stated incidentally that Corwin got mad and
left the Committee room. The journal de-
nied this latter, positively, for the purpose
Of breaking the force Of the general truth OF
the charge. That there was q luss, and
bitter debate in that Committee room is
true that Corwin got offended at the course
Of members Of that Committee, Is equally
true whether he went out of the room OIL
not, 10 not material 10 the case. The IRE.
traction OF tho Commercials reporter, which
the Journal refers to as evidence against US,
only explains that Corwin did not leave the
room il further gives items to prove that
the statement which we published was in
the main correct, and, indeed, makes il
stronger Will the Journal publish the
Commercials revised statement Of the Com
mittee room affair, 30 that its readers can
see how far We have misrepreSented the
matter
Now, we don't care whether Mr.. Corwin
got mad and len the room on that occasion,
or stayed in the room, and swallowed his
choler. 1t is n matter of the smallest impor-
tAnce which he did. He got mad he talk
ed mad this was known to all present. and
has been made known to the people Of the
State. There was a stormy time in the Com,
miItee room and that is known to the peOi
pie Of the State [; it 10 know n, also, what this
bad blood WAS all about. We made mem
tion Of the matter for the purpose Of calling
attention to tho bsd feeling exhibited be-
tween different sections Of the opposition
to call the attention Of the people to the fact
that the Republicans instead of being an
unit, were only = combination Of antagonis,
tic and incongruous material, which we
deemed it impossible to keep together du
ring the canvass just entered upon. Our
MaiD street cotempur"ry endeavored m
break the fUros Of our showing by a simple
special claim that Cor~in didn't leave tue
