If it be against the policy of our es
teemed contemporary, the Douglas
Leader, to enter into controversy, we
would advise that it aver the treat
ment of contingent subjects, especially
those of political import; for there
are always differences of opinion on
these matters, and dogmatic or sweep
ing statements in regard to them will
meet opposition and defenders when
ever they are protruded. We are un
der no obligations to our patrons to
refrain from controversy and we shall
be ever ready to enter into any health
ful discussion where there is doubt to
be overcome and questions to be
settled.
