We are sorry he called us bad names and grew witty st our expena i and has eomnneneed arguing the i aiousfcSnase of state vs Wheeler for we fe;:r be never will stop. His talent and leisure are both so extensive that he is liable to make writing his profesaion hereafter.

This editor of thy Herald, without taking the beam out of the eye of hi.r; par;v, dis v rs qui ?kly the mote in that of the Detuoesati party, in the person of Mr. Wheeler, d Plymouth. Theinfcrenee intended by the IfrraM is unje. t and uncalled for, ami c;m rebound with more force upon his own party, it' they be proper. For instance, in what particular does the c;i.-' oi yir. heeler differ from that which occurred in Jiporte some eighteen months ago, in which prominent radicals were Impiicd by the victim, an innocent, confiding German girl, and die parties we believe have never been tried, whereas the Plymouth Democrat says Wheeler is implicated by ;im irresponsible party. If parties arc to shoulder ln Bind of individual members, then look out. Radicalism will have an overwhelming l.ad. Persons charged with crime are presumed tobe innocent until proven and found gnilty. If Wheeler is proven guilty, we trust h- will Buffer t;: full extent of the law, rejrardlesa of Ins political views. And if it is desired to naddle individual ainfl on parties, we haYC plenty of material to work on in the radical ranks. MomticcJlo OonttitutioHalitt We noticed Hugh Rose and P A I man on r;ir streets a few days ago.
