The Republican never aims to offend any person unnecessarily, and never aims to put itself in a position to require apology. But the write-up our reporter gave Elias Hammerton, on the occasion of his Christmas marriage, differed so matterially in style from the method this paper has always desired to employ in reporting weddings that we very cheerfully ask the apology of the parties to the marriage, and promise that When either again enters the matrimonia arena they will be treated with the respect due their age and their social standing.
