OPEN LETTER
To the Rev. 8. Z. Bishop, Editor of
the Friend, and Contributor to
the New York Independent.

l observe from the columns of the
Friend for January, that you have
recently executed a strategic move
ment to the rear-and have trans
ferred your sand-bags to New York,
where your fire can be better covered.
This does not strike one as a coura-
geous mode OF warfare, but from
your point OF view it was perhaps
prudent. You have evidently great
faith in the softening influences of
geography, In your December is
sue, you asserted that had made a
statement at Chicago, about the
Provisional Government and the
Presidents message. There was alb
solutely no foundation for your as
sertion, as / never made any state
ment at all like it anywhere to any
one. Why you should pitch upon
Chicago, place where you had not
recently been, and where had not
made any published statement on
any subject, I do not know, and you
probably will not care to explain.
But you have now borrowed the
columns of the New York Indopend-
ent, in order TO exhibit me by a side
light to your world, in a character
wbn knows ~. wnvid j,clar, 90
