We are surprised that the Nation, a paper which is generally regarded as representative of higher journalism, should indulge in such opprobrious epithets as it applied to the Boston Journal in its last issue. This newspaper is called a "filthy and mendacious contemporary." Such language is in the first place unmerited. It is, moreover, very unbecoming and discourteous for respectable journals to indulge in spiteful warfare. We sometimes see such vituperation in our less civilized college exchanges, but we had never expected to find its counterpart in a newspaper which usually has an air of eminent respectability.
