To Tie Editor Of The Tribune:


1 observe in your paper Of this morning that some
croaker asserts that this institution is the be-
cause project recently started 10 form Debating Glass
appears not have received that support from the mem
bers which your correspondent believes it deserved


Ny object in addressing you is TO conntcrac whatever
OF disadvantage may result from this attempt Of cor
respondent to create impression injurious to the As
soc.ation, and unwarrancd b. facts. Why he should
have written such Communication cannot conceive In
It's and spirit closely resembles the insidous at
tacks which the Editor Of certain unfrendly paper d-
reefs against the ms tuition that should class the writer
Of the letter among its enemies did he subscribe him
self DJer.' His error, therefore, Is Of the tead
of the hart but Heaven save the Library from many
sucli friends


With regard TO the proposed Debating Class am. and
have been for years, in favor OF such project. The
present attempt establish it, though certainly not fall
urc, has been crowned with triumphant success,
because is made period Of the year which is Pc
cuiarly nauspicous or such purpose 1t is the be-
ginning of the busy and is the close Of Winter.
II this subject placed before the members next FALL he
season when the other Glasses formed twill doubt
receive support It's most ardent advocate "a
Wemtcr,' presumc,) can desire.


With regard 10 the condition of the Mercantile Ibrars
Associations am happy 10 inform you that. though the
number of members is by great rs 1t should
be- yet so far the Institutions being on the wane it
has been steadily gaining strength since September last
Indeed the improvement this year has been decided
that have hesitation in saying that s affairs have not
presented so promising aspect for several years.
