Hcccn,ly the President declared that
'Our tlsg does not mean one thing IN

United States"
That sounds well and ought to be
true, bat the New York World qucs-

torial is In admirable tone, Is correct in
conclusions, aad timely. regret that
some Of our Democrats friends show q
disposition to inject personal eOaiFo-
vcrsy into our politics. think wo
ought 10 exercise the greatest liberty oi
opiuion, but We should compare out
views IN kindly spirit, discuss whist
ever differences we have with courtesy
and without personal aerimony, with a
view solely Of arriving ut the truth,
cycn IN nlaitcrs ui detail T. say In
matters az detail, bccause do not think
there are any substantial diBSreacas
among US on important principles
am sure ~ Of NJ are profoundly anx-
ious for success nexi year Looking 10
tho good Of the country, We might differ
NOW and then somewhat rs 10 q policy,
and looking TO the good Of our party,
not only for today but some months
hence when conditions arc likely 10 be
different from what they are nnw, We
may likewise differ rs 10 what Is wisesi
as matter Of political eSpedlency; but
in due time We will oil &C, together ou
a platform 10 which We can subscribe.
In the meantime MI Of Us should bend
our energies rs far as possible 20 the
work Of nnib Ing and organizing orr
forces for the conflict. Kindly criti-
cism does no harm, but bitter personal
attacks on Democrats provoke eoniro-
vcrsies which tend only to weaken.
think VIC should devote our efforts 10
the work Of uniiyiug our forces aud
strengthening our lines. Yours truly.
