To the Editor eftie Tribune


Ny DEAR SIR-I see letter in the Tribune,
of to-day, addressed to me, by James M'Cune
Smith wish, then, to say to Mr.. Smith, with
the utmost kindness, that have no time, and
sec no occasion, for a newspaper discussion be-
tween us. The press is open to him, and shall
be glad to see what he has to offer to the public
on the subject Of emancipation. If he is to
have any reference, however, to my opinions
would advise him to wait till | publish my Lee
ture, which shall do ere long


am, very respectfully, yours, ORVlLLE DEWEY.


[U7 It's proper that we should here state that
DR.. J. MCUNE SMITH is a graduate Of the Uni
versity of Glasgow, and, though partly of African
blood, gentleman Of eminent intellectual attain
ments and moral worth. 1t has been absurdly
suspected that he did not write the letter signed
by him which appeared in our last; but he Is
widely known here as incapable of employing any
one to write for him and abundantly capable OF
writing for himself. Ed. Trlb.J
