Published COMMUNICATION over the names Of
W. v. WAY snirthcrs, Nnimtdvsrtng upon our
report of the recent schcul meeting, aud upon
onrsrlf for refusing 10 publish that part of the
communication addressed to the JorrSLL. We

10 give all lts s6sctce stian and reEults aud we
think we did 80 aud the authors Of the commu
hlcation above alluded to, have, in that regard,

any allusion to tho incidental qucst ions which

ion and acrimonious diScusSion because Nc

sctangefncnt OF the matter in cont7oversy. In
this we can not think We were wrong, nor can
we belicvc the quiet aud conservative portions
Of our citizens, will Condemn our " uorlliIiag." B"
lis true as stated, that we said wo would
