nothing else 10 do than enter into per-
sonal controversy with him. and that
BY provoking discussios. be will be
enabled to attain some selfish end. II
this be: his aim. We shall be under the
'seeessi,y Of Disappointing him. Our
mission to Kansas is Of different char.

We have not 70 much - nen,iOned his

advance that We ssre not establishing
press in Kansas or the purpose Of
inssrfsriug vish o,hsrs. Or in any spirit
Of opposition or rivalry but with kind
feelings for all. and desire 70 cultivate
friendly relations with the entire frater-
nifty iE the territory; and We have never
written word for the Independent that
by the most torluoua construction could
he twisted into an intima,ion Of unkind
ness towards any one. editor or oos.-
Having thus conducted oarself and our
journal, it was the least Of our expect
alton ,ha, any one vas scaf, hing for a
chance to soy some melie;oss thing about
US. |. would sPpear from the remarks
Of the editor in question. that he had
been on the look out; for he says, "as
ce expected" He was. therefore. deter
mined 1. adpesce to find fault or pick a
qsarra.
We cannot consent 10 quarrel with
you. friend Spalding but If you will
come TO Ohio. Ne will try to show you
how to receive brother editor with
ooxrsssy. at least: aud We think We will
show You how TO re.eive one With

with grosI.,
The least one gentleman can expect
from sno,hrr 10 courteous treatment
and We had right 70 expect this from
our brethren Of The press in Kansas. and
on. this score We have no complaints TO
make. The Gazette alone has seen pro-
per to pursue different course. and We
are satisfied that it shall have all the
glory and prea it can acquire by The
investment it has chosen 10 make.
Il is right and proper for editors to
