MR LEACH'S MEETING AND MR DOWLING.
[to the editor.] Sir, — I see in your notice to correspondents, thia morning, that Mr Dowling appears to be dissatisfied with the report of Mr Leach's meeting. I assert it was a truthful one, and I fail to find any statements made at the meeting omitted, They appear, as far as my memory serves me, simply cut down, I suppose to bring them within a reasonable length for printing. Mr Dowling actually made use of the expressions which appeared in your columns ; but your reporter has omitted to state^— no doubt making allowances for Mr Dowliug's excited state at the time— "that he compared Mr Cooper to the bailiff, and, if there could be a lower one, the common hangman." My opinion is, that he ought to feel grateful to your reporter for the consideration displayed by him in rendering his speech sufficiently temperate in its tone for publication. ' Yours, &c. , A Miner, j South Beach, June 7, 1871. i
