EDITOR PREss:-How the wounded
bird does fuiter, shat names he dues call!
One wonld think from the '&cUTrility" of
his language that he had been holding
'post mo, tenn" and found something of
fensive to his nasal organs. We admit
that our pea Jacket though purehas-
ed with borrowed money" looks some
what shabby compared with the Tribune
correspondents plug, kid gloves, slick
clothes, and gold (?) headed cane. We
never hope to be able to compete with
this pompous and very smart fellow, in
high carriage and sharp scent.
"The would be assassin" &C., ''being
afraid to strike woman blazes away at
US"
Really, we did not think of that; hut
after reflection, we are satisfied it would
be much safer. The correspondent never
condeeends to Journalistic tdts" OH no.
He only wishes to be let alone. "As to
the merits Of the controversy we know
nothing" Agreed "Have no personal
feeling" OH no (unless it be 1st per-
sonaD we are so glad. We were afraid
yon were mad, or had call to the
country, or something dreadful.
1--WE only stated what We were creditly
informed" &c, "Had never given the
and even upon examination can't find
much" We think YOU will learn more
if yon continne to get it second handed.
"As to the championship" &c, My
dear, Sir, we never supposed you had
received your credible" information
from any Miss.
"The Tribune correspondent makes 1t a
practice TO state nothing but what he be-
lieves to be truen The poor, dear,
innocent fellow didn't know what he
was saving. 1t is too bad! We sympa-
thize, we commiserate.
We would even recommend some Of
his sugar coated pills, 10 be taken at
short intervals, whilst scenting out
items.
But then we do not believe he ought
to gn to shooting 'Davy Cracket" at US.
We still prefer his abuse, and will give
him any information his ''credible" in
| formant over looks.
1t will be seen by card in this issue
that MAJORITY really did mean Ma-
jority of the BOARD. MAJORITY
| EDITOR PREss:-I did wish for a re-
ply to my article in your issue of oath
December, but received none; instead OF
which, however, DR.. Skinner tried to
hurl a few invectives against me, such as
men of has cdIiber resort to when their
unfertile brain fail to produce argumen,
sufficient to overthrow the truth.
/ do not deign reply to the Dr's. lit.
tie bit of "iow c,tnning;" for of that kind
of stuff, he seems TO have a large ''stock
in trade" las we know "from the abun-
dance of the heart the mouth speaketh" y,
SO if try to reply | mnst necessarily
come out second best, for l have nj
stock Of that kind on hand; and if
could write an article of the same mater
iaI, | would blush to ask an editor to pm
it in the columns Of as respectable pa
per asth!e Press. Now, beg leave to
state few facts, which, perhaps, many
of your readers have not thought of.
First.-No thorough, and gentleman
ly physician, will ever invent and cir
cnlate slanderous reports about othe
physicians, no matter what school they
are of, nor what their medical abilitie
may be, but will treat them all respect
fully, and kindly; thereby keeping u
or sustaining the dignity of the profes
sion.
Secondly.-There is no surer evidenc
of "quack," in a physician. than t
hear him call others "quack," and us
other approbrious epithets against then
when speaking of them. These thing
also show that a physician knows hi
own weakness and fears the other
strength; that he tries to turn publi
opinion against him, 80 he won't get
share of the public patronage. Can thi
be the state of the case under consider
alton? Judge. We.
ThiIdly.-When you hear physical
boasting of the great things he has done
or can do in the wav of curing disease
You can mark him down with certoinf,
as one who has not arrived at the poin
of mediocrity.
The above facts can not be successful
" contradicted. S. S. DoLLIsoN.
