rEM,s PARTNERS sELF-EULOGIES

Tuesdays Choaicte came to hand yes
terday, containing a column and half
of labor pains in answer to our article of
last week. We should quote the argument
used by the old parish schoolmaster and
dictatorial editor, as usual, if the vision OF
man we're sufficiently microscopic to make
the effort discernible
The PILor, evidently. could not have
missed it, mark, as the purist editor fu,-

They thought that as the editor of the
Chronicle knew we had never learned to

eccentric old gentleman, who wrote book,
and had several alphabets and all punctua.

the reader, be he purist, TO put in as best
suited his elegant tastes and attainments.
They do not deuy but that they are
nearly as guiltless of the rules of syntax
lis the Chronicle editor is of argument in
his answer. The old purist's effort to turn
the yoke, his own thoushtlessness entwlned
about his neck connecting him with the calf,
was neither viyacious enough to break the
yoke nor to satisfy his own norlinats vanity
after the effort.

The other effort in the same issue of the

To think that d" Penn and the editor of
the Chronicle should be utterly lost to
progress, for want q an organ, would be

In making his statement that the PiLor
had ordained ,hat all trade west of this
city on the Western road should be trib
utary to Manitowoc alone, he seems to
forget that we charged that ship timber
was freighted to Sheboygan at tue same
rates as to Two Riyers-twenty miles
nearer. His humane desire to keep Us
awake that we might not be destroyed by
his and "Pem's tidal rare Of prog-es-
Will account for it, We presume, and add
another proof c. his magnanimltY.
