The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1875-11-12

nOSG OF the Inn, we made SeVeral Calls IOr
new subscribers with gratifying results.
A number of neat, white cottages grace
the hillside, many of them occupied by
English people, who, having lived under
the government of a woman in the old
country, have the good sense to favor
wOman's freedom in the new. This is
especially worthy of note, rs we gener-
ally find foreigners, who delight in the
franchise for themselves, opposed to the
freedom of American women.
Returning to McKay,s Landing in an
open boat, we hailed the messenger"
bound for Utter City, another "cosl
bank" which is being rapidly built up
into a town of much promise. A new
hotel, not yet entirely finished, offers
excellent accommodations to the trav-
cling public, at reasonable rates. There
being no hall in the place, the commo-
dious dining-room was placed at our
disposal for the lecture, which, judging
from the controversy it called forth in
subsequent numbers of the Marsh6eld
Record, sank deep into many hearts.
Speaking of the Record, reminds us
that its editor, after having heard our
first lecture in Marshfield-the only one
he attended, by-the-way-said editori-
ally that "Mrs. Duniway," 1--WE quote
from memory with womanly artiice,
appealed more to the sympathy than
the intellect of her audience.n After
the paper came out we went to Empire
City, where we met the editor of the
NelOs, with whom we passed some jest
ing words about the paragraph in ques-
tion, and when the NelOs appeared, be-
hold, it had copied the above quotation
in substance, with a small-cap beading
of ''rally One" saying: "Mrs. Duniway
says it is quite likely that she did, as
the editor of the Record had more SYM
pathy than intellect to appeal to-"
Afterwards, thinking to help our Sym
pathetic brother along little in his ed
| itorials, and having an idea that he
ought to possess at least .modicum Of
intellect" we wrote him as follows
again we quote from memory:
BROTHER HANscoM:-Please get even OF
the squib in last weeks "Newsp by saying ed
itorialIy, (alluding to the Literary society re
port spoken of in a former letter. "that Mrs
Duniway, being asked when she would sgair
visit the literary society at Empire City, aut
participate in its deliberations, replied tina
she guessed she wouldn't try it again, for tn
country pumpkin who reported for the News
didn't know the difference between a rebuk
and a 'goak." Peg one for our side.
Very respectfully,
Mrs. A. ]. DUNIwAY.
But alas! for our voting brothers in
telleetual acumen, he didn't know
, enough to avail himself of an ide
} when it was voluntarily rendered him
and he published the card entire
making a ridiculous blunder, owe
, which we laugh so heartily while try
ing to write it.up that our ehirograph
} looks like spiders tracks.
, Brother Hanscom's mistake cause
Brother Siglin, of the Ne,0s, to retaliat
: in the most ungentlemanly paragraph
which any political gamin ever stoope
to pen about US in his life; a paragraph
which we cannot copy, because it is nc
fit to print. We have, however, write
him privately, and look for handsom
editorial apology, in which case W
shall, of course, forgive him, for he is
man of intelligence, and knows how {
act the gentleman, and he ought t
hold himself at all times above dealin
: in editorial mud. ...
, Leaving Utter City, in which W
much regretted having no time to car
vass for the NEW NORTHWEST, we n
turned to Marshfield for our baggag
and a last goodbye to. its hospitabl
denizens. ...
In the evening we repaired to Coo
