Indeed, it wouldlJH to do so until after one has read his book; and after suH ing it i»ay appear as if Mr. Morrill's castigation of tory and ita pe©ple, past, present andiuture, may be prej|H medicine, even if it only haJ.f truth ( and we ean swallowing it.

' \ j As before stated, however, there, is no use in our worked up over Mr. MorriU's book. When the book if we find he has told the truth about us, let us refQ| gently suggest to Mr. MorrUl (via the Charaber of Comi the Ad Club) that it would be a good idea to. let the d§ bury its dead. On the other hand, if we find that he h fibbing about us in order to produce a book "hot'" euougl well, then, we cannot do mueh more than eall him short and ugly teim, and let it go at that.
