The one is instructive to tWe people and is welcomed by them. while the other is destructive of their best interests. Unfortunately. there is sometimes too much of the latter resorted to in the discussion of public men and measures. and particularly if there are political considerations involved. Such a disposition was manifested in the recent discussion of the immigration bill. I could cite instances where gentlemen. instead of submitting legitimate arguments. resorted to misrepresentation. abuse. and ridicule. which are the favorite weapons of those who can not sustain their position by argument. Sometimes they even sought to question the motives of those who disagreed with them. and went so far as to cast unwarranted reflections upon certain sections of the country whence those with whom they disagreed came.
