CORRESPONDENCE.


PHILApELrHIA, October g. 1867.
Cefore the time this reaches you the readers Of
your nobby" paper will have conned over the
results of our municipal and State election, so
that we shall have twelve months rest from the
drag and haul Of pro and con. Our newspapers
throughout the city (and may presume as well,
the State) have acted noby in their endeavors to
elect the radical men of their ticket. But have
always thoughts and think SO now that they adopt
tho wrong kind Of logic to work effectually their
conclusions. Socrates had u system Of logical
sequence which was perfectly overwhelming in
conclusion. Our papers deal III everlasting platl-
tudes which iu themselves serve 10 unconyince
tho mind though 1t may provoke u laugh at an
opponents expense. Take an example; Instead
Of negatively putting the experience of tho DEM
ocirtic party, and saying what 1t did do, fol the
war anu the soldiers of the war, why not ask thu
organs Of that party u question like this: what
have you done that you ask II soldiers vote 4"
| Then wait until that question be answered, or
keep poking the animal until 1t does answer or
refuses to do So Ii 1t is replied to- then proceed
calmly to annihilate it,and ask another. Condemn
their theory out of their own mouths and by their
own arguments. This Is the highest art of rca-
nation which will utterly drive them from their
untenablc grounds. l have watched with care
erery editorial in cur radical papers during this
campaign, and have failed to sec single In
stance of it. Socrates, who was the very incar-
nation of confinement in speech and style, used
to say: "Corner your opponent, and don't jump
from one point To another, but lead him into II
trap II he shall answer you at all.
The progress OF that Literary paper Saturday

Pile but to its Editors, Mtssrs. Davis " Eivcrson'
The paper has been In paying condition for sew
