Were we provided with similar weapons of defence that our Cromwell contemporary has of offence, —namely an utter disregard for the ordinary conventionalities of civilized life, and the most complete disrespect for the exact truth—we should possibly reply at some length to the article he thought fit to devote to us in his last issue, but as we are not we must fain decline the offer. However, we must ask our contemporary when he again feels disposed to fling dirt to seek some other direction than ours. In the matter of the chairmanship dispute “ we offer no advice” ave merely point out the positive sinfulness of advocating war to the knife between the two parties in the County Counci'. But to oui contemporary we offer the advice—Try and be just, we will not ask you to be generous.
