ial advertisements! Surely his latest purchasers must despise their worn-out tool, and most heartily repent of their hard bargain. Such mild openings as the following are not uncommon: The Journal of Commerce is the most self-complacent and dogmatic of all possible newspapers. The villain who makes this charge against me well knows that it is the basest falsehood. We defy the Father of lies himself to crowd more stupendous falsehoods into a paragraph than this contains. Mr. Benton! each of the above observations is a deliberate falsehood, and you are an unqualified villain! The Express is surely the basest and paltriest of all possible journals. Having been absent from the city for a few days, I perceive with a pleasurable surprise on my return that the Express has only perpetrated two new calumnies upon me of any consequence since Friday evening. Ephraim, said a grave divine, taking his text from one of the prophets, is a cake not turned. （Hosea, VII.

By the New York Tribune, 573 reams for the Daily; 1311 reams for the Weekly, and 16 reams for the Semi-Weekly. We therefore decide that the Herald has the larger average circulation. James G. Wilson.

Provocation. An article in a Southern paper recommending the secession of the Slave States from the Union. Reply. Dr. Franklin used to tell an anecdote illustrative of his idea of the folly of duelling, substantially thus: A man said to another in some public place, Sir, I wish you would move a little away from me, for a disagreeable odor procee

condense a few of each kind, presenting only the point of each. Many of our editor's replies are remarkable chiefly for their free and easy manner, their ignoring of editorial dignity. A specimen or two: In reply to a personal attack by Major Noah, of the Union, he begins, We ought not to notice this old villain again. On another occasion, What a silly old joker this last hard bargain of Tylerism is! On another, Major Noah! Why won't you tell the truth once in a century, for the varietMajor Noah!

An article in the Sunday Mercury condemning the Tribune for excluding theatrical criticism. Reply. The last time but one that we visited a theater—it was from seven to ten years ago—we were insulted by a ribald, buffoon song, in derision of total abstinence from intoxicating liquors. During the last season we understand that Mr. Brougham—whom we are specially blamed by the Mercury for not helping to a crowded benefit—has made a very nice thing of ridiculing Socialism. We doubt whether any great, pervading reform has been effected since there was a stage, which that stage has not ridiculed, misrepresented, and held up to popular odium. It is in its nature the creature of the mob—that is, of the least enlightened and least earnest portion of the community—and flatters the prejudices, courts the favor, and varnishes th

oil. Throughout the Mexican war, the Tribune gave all due honor to the gallantry of the soldiers who fought its battles, on one occasion defending Gen. Pierce from the charge of cowardice and boasting. In 1847, the editor made the tour of the great lake country, going to the uttermost parts of Lake Superior, and writing a series of letters which revealed the charms and the capabilities of that region. In the same year it gave a complete exposition of the so-called Revelations of Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis, but without expressing any opinion as to their supernatural origin. War followed, of course. To Mr. Whitney's Pacific Railroad scheme it assigned sufficient space. Agassiza lectures were admirably reported, with from ten to twenty woodcuts in the report of each lecture. Gen.

Passing the spot next day, I saw her body still lying there with the bread by her side, and the broken gourd, with a few drops of water still in it—emblems of her errand. We buried her, and while we were digging her grave, cannon balls flew around us like hail.— Cor. Louisville Cour. Provocation. Complaints of Charles Dickens' Advocacy of International Copyright at public dinners. Reply. We trust he will not be deterred from speaking the frank, round truth by any mistaken courtesy, diffidence, or misapprehension of public sentiment. He ought to speak out on this matter, for who shall protest against robbery if those who are robbed may not? Here is a man who writes for a living, and writes nobly; and we of this country greedily devour his writings, are entertained and instructed by them, yet refuse so to protect his rights as an aut

Taylor's nomination to the presidency it descried in the distance, and opposed vehemently. The last event of the seventh volume was the dispute with the Herald on the subject of the comparative circulation of the two papers. The Tribune challenged the Herald to an investigation by an impartial committee, whose report each paper should publish, and the losing party to give a hundred dollars to each of the two orphan asylums of the city. The Herald accepted. The report of the committee was a

, an ample hearing, and occasional encouragement. In 1846, its Reporters were excluded from the gallery of the House of Representatives, because a correspondent stated, jocularly, that Mr. Sawyer, of Ohio, lunched in the House on sausages. The weak member has since been styled Sausage Sawyer—a name which he will put off only with his mortal coil.

Chapter 21: editorial repartees. At war with all the world the spirit of the Tribune—retorts vituperative—the Tribune and Dr. Potts—some prize tracts suggested—an atheists oath—a word for domestics Irish Democracy—the modern drama—hit at Dr. Hawks—dissolution of the Union Dr. Franklin's story—a picture for Polk Charles Dickens and Copyright—charge of malignant falsehood—preaching and practice Col. Webb severely hit—hostility to the Mexican war—violence incited a few sparks—the course of the Tribune—wager with the Herald. The years 1845, 1846, and 1847, were emphatically the fighting years of the New York Tribune. If it was not at war with all the world, all the world seemed to be at war with it, and it was kept constantly on the defensive. With the democratic press, of course, it could not be at peace. The whig press of the city denounced it, really because it was immovably prosperous, ostensibly on the ground of its Fourierite and progres
