During a long aeries or years In which we have been connected with tbe newspaper business, we have never yet bad occasion to belittle ourselves la the eyes of the public by resorting to that peculiar atyle of litera ture adopted by tbe Progress in abusing a brother editor. We have presented argu ments aad facta In answer to those present ed by tbe editor of that paper, asing mod erate and gentlemanly language In connec tion therewith. So far it la well enough, bat when tbe highly learned editor of that beet descends from a fair discussion of facts relative to the oil business, to personally abusing ns In vltaperttlve language, we beg leave to quit tbe field. Tbe Progress can make all the capital It oan by suoh a course and la welcome to It We might add that there la a form of skin diss are, always annoying but never danger ous.
