Y. R. O. S., which embodies a resolution that places the Economist in rather an awkward positron. Our readers will. please read the report alluded to. We also, in accordance with the expressed wish of Mr Reesor, and in a Spirit of fair play, opened tour columns to Irirn, tothe utter disgust of our readers, no doubt; for the demand made on our space- hy the editor of the Economist was pretty heavyâ€"still, actuated by a disinterested feeling, we were pre- pared (at the risk of offending our friends) to devote more of our space to him had we. been required ; but ciprocaled in the irr‘iplacable breast of the editor. He assails us warr- tonly, and ungenerously; for, as he says, “ our iriconsistcircy,~â€"-and dra tvs a very iirvidious comparison between our paper (The York Her- uld,) the British Tribune, and York Commonwealth." "Comparisons are odious ” at all times, but doubly so in the instance before us. The RI‘fftS/l Tribune was the uncompro- mising, straiglitlbrward, and suc- cesslul opponent of the Markham Economist; and during its exist- ence, wagedan honorable warfare with that journal. We remember the farewell address of the “Tri- bune," soliciting forgiveness from the press. if, in the beat of political strife they had unintentionally of- fended ; its successful opposition to the Markham Economist is, we ob- serve, still rankling in the "bosom of that high-minded and magnami- cecding, $4 per day, '1 he thirtieth clause enableo,_the Corhrhanderuin-cliief to amalgri- mate the offices, of Deputy Adjutant General and Inspecting Field Uflicer of Mrlitiaineitlrer nous adversary, consequently un- conditional pardon we did not ex- pool. A generous foe would have covered the short comings of his old enet’rry with oblivion, and ex- tended tlrat forgiveness so touch- ingly solicited in the valcdictary address of the 'J’ribunr. Our friend ofthe Economist knows no mercy. With that stunning fact before us, and laying a certain amount of value upon it, we shall proceed to vindicate our own conduct from the charge brought against us by Mr. Reesor, although we are weak enough to think still, that that gentleman had no just grounds of complaint. for we acted towards both parties alike. When Mr. B. applied to us to publish his letter, we, after mature deliberation, and on a careful perusal of the produc- tion, decided to open our columns to him, on the grounds that Mr. [Lessor was a public character, li- able, like any other public man, to have his conduct and motives sifted, we hold to this opinion, not- withstanding the gentle admonition we have rcccivcd, and shall not shrink from acting accordingly, whether the individual be arrayed in municipal honors, or an aspirant after Parliamentary privileges-â€" We did not strictly approve of Mr. Barker's tone, yet Wt‘ did not deem his letter scurrilous, neither was it, we think, altogether personal, as it was directed to Mr. R. in his public 'capacrty; and, moreover, it was not addressed to us anonymously. We are now perfectly satisfied that it was not. scurrilous. We would be almost disposed to think Mr. R. thought it complimentary, for the Economist published no less than two editions of the same letter, with his own observations, which we think has not enlightened the _ public much on the real merits oftlre case; in fact (pile on the agony) --- ~' 0mm”? -.« Venn-tn .. - 1 able newspaper, we apprehend the vehicle by which its attention should be attracted mattered little.
