Some have said to mo that should merely
have defended my self from tho charges and
there left it. Yes, i'll had been dealing with
with an honorable man should have done 80.
But it was with one who has the heart and
the hide of hog. Thank Heaven if I have
not sottened his heart got through his hide.

and bullied and beloved for l6 years, and 1

But they say was vulgar I defy them to
take that speech and compare it with Tristan
Burgess celebrated attack on John Randolph.
If 1 said anything improper in the heat of
controversy regret it. Yet public opinion
would have justified me if had shot the scoun-
drel dead for his unparalleled attack on me.

But the St. Paul Press says was vulgar?

pose to put these men on the witness stand
against each other. Immense and long con-

drew out some documents.

DRIsCOLL's OPINION OF wHEELoCK
First will read Driscoll's opinion Of Wheel
ock, from the st. Paul Union, December 30,
1862:
The articles In question we're written by one Joseph A.
wheelock, commonly called 10 WHEELOCK," q
low fellow about town, whose forte malicious false.
hood and whose talent for libel is scarcely exceled by
that Of James Gordon Bennett, himself. Indeed he
makes the Herald Editor his pattern and like him, by
personal abuse Of prominent men, seeks the notorety
which personal chastsement would procure him. From
this result, however, his physical nsgniacance has
shielded him.
Originally imported from Nova Scotia, and unless very
recently naturalized, still owing allegiance to Queen
Victoria he Is the who assumes to dictate to the
Legislature OF Minnesota whom they shall elect to
sent the State in the Senate Of the United States
But We do not reach the fountain head Of this stream
Of malice when drag this fellow to the light His
powers are only valuable when directed by his MASTER
whoever may be for the time and he has this redeem
ing trait that while sometimes false to his friendships
but never to his resentment yet he is faithful as dog
Now let us see what Mr.. Wheelock thought
of Mr.. Driscoll:
WHEELocK's LOVE LITTER TO DR1sCoLL.
from the St. Paul Press, Jan. 81, 1851
We understand that some OF our Republican friends
are extremely anxious to effect what they pleased
to term consolidation OF the Press and Uaion That
is to say having made somewhat expensive invest
ment in saddle they are extremely anxious to pur-
chase horse to fit it.
They have got party organ without circulation; an
editor aoithowt BRAINS; newspaper Office with MOTH
Ing but sign board to indicate the nature of its
tensions; and the State printing without the means
doing It.
The proprietors Of the Press feel themselves amply
competent to manage their own Affairs and qo1e tAev
need the services Of Mr. Drisco they will probably let
him knoao.
Atpresent the only opening have at all suited to
the capacities Of that aspiring yon0 gentleman, is in
oar job or mecs room, where, II he is toerably skill
full compostor, he may perhaps be able to earn from
$50 to $500 per day, II he prefers more active en-
ployment out Of DOORS his exuberant energies will be A.
lowed full scope in the capacity Of carrier boy By in
dustry and diligence he may possibly in a few years
eoor1 aoay up to more responsible position and
gradually acquire enough experience in the various de-
partments Of our Office to enable him to conduct a
country Newspaper with toerable credit to himself and
with somewhat chance success than has marked
his previous efforts In that line.
To this Driscoll replies with unmstakable
sarcasm: 1.-The brains question we will not
discuss" Laughter He thought probably
it was an even thing. [Great Laughter
DRlsCoLL's BRILLIANT AND LOVING RESPONSE.
From the St. Paul Union, Feb. 1, 1868.

thus thrown down. Nor Is It desirable for us
