EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: The Advo-
cate Of tho 18th inst. contains an article
which demands consideration.
First, there are some errors. MIR. Rus
sell says seek to hold him responsible
for the political sins Of his brother. Not
at all, I simply charged him with holding
open his professedly Democratic columns
to the pen Of that Republican brother.
This charge; by the way, together with
those relative to VIM. Hess, {Third Party
State Chairman for Illinois,) and
''Shanks," (God-deying Republican,
has not been denied.

school the people will please look away
from the columns Of the Advocate to the
Catalogue. I was pressed into service,
much against my inclination, for short
time last session, while one of the teachers
was down with nervous prostration.
He has me to say that "Tillmanism, II
at all, is but one step removed from the
rottenest repub blicanism." See the In
TELLIGENCER of last week, and observe
the cool talsehood. Referring to 7. H.
RS. "Politics I.nn Mad" said: Ills
second paragraph is an out and out
avowal that the Observation-Disclosures,
I 1nfer-is the direct product OF Green
backism, which, if at al, is, but ONE step, y
&c.
AS to exposing privats correspondence,
will Mr.. Russell believe me when say
T never was into newspaper controversy
before, and was unconscious OF any
breach of the code? His letter was for
warded an hour after its receipt, and was
published as the simplest explanation OF
why the letter addressed to tbs Advocate
appeared in another paper.
So much for the inaccuracies OF the
article. A good stopping place but for
Mr.. RS. potent invitation to Introduce

Mr, Russelps article, If meant as 8
reply to my own, is an insult to the intel
ligence Of bis readers. He replaces logic
with a laborious argunae'statns od hon'snena.
He begs the question, lodging every
issue except the Reform Sigma! affair, In
the discussion Of which be intrenches
himself behind his family afiictions
which decency forbids to invade. He
ASSAYS to slur the Williamson Female
College without the manliness to name It..
He nlays upon Haskellism concerning
which its Journalistic model 1.-The Register,
of March 25th, has this TO- say: "Let us
extend to these brother Democrats
IHaskellites] the right hand of fellow
ship, and take them into our conferences
and our condolences"
The manner in which he injects the
Haskell business is singularsy dlsgust-
inc and revolving. He says: "Mr. Lam
DEF, we are informed, has brother who
voted the Haskell ticket" &c. What
right has he to say word unless be can
say it without the qualifying clause I'VE
are informed" Rank cowardice! Fur
temptible inuendo places whatever Of
odium attaches to the epithet "Haskell-
ite'' equally upon all. A display of COW,
ardice on par with that which quoted
the "gambliDg, drinking" slander from
the Register month ago.
