Hosea (search for this): chapter 21
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. 8.) Let us proceed, therefore, brethren, to turn Ephraim—first, inside out; next, back-side before; and, thirdly, 'tother end up. We are under the imperative necessity of performing on Samuel of this day a searching operation like unto that of the parson on Ephraim of old. That will suffice for the vituperative. We proceed to those of another description: Provocation. A Sermon by Dr. Potts, denouncing the Tribune as agrarian, &c., reported in the Courier and Enquirer.

, prospered. Repeated supplements, ever-increasing circulation, the frequent omission of advertisements, all testified that a man may be independent in the expression of the most unpopular opinions, and yet not be starved into silence. One more glance at the three volumes from which most of the above passages are taken, and we accompany our hero to new scenes. In the Fifty-four-forty-or-Fight controversy, the Tribune of course took the side of peace and moderation. Its obituary of General Jackson in 1845, being not wholly eulogistic, called forth angry comment from the democratic press. In the same year, it gave to the advocates respectively of phonography, the phonetic system, and the magnetic telegraph, 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

ation. An allusion in the Courier and Enquirer to Mr. Greeley's diet, attire, socialism, philosophy, etc. Reply. It is true that the editor of the Tribune chooses mainly (not entirely) vegetable food; but he never troubles his readers on the subject; it does not worry them; why should it concern the Colonel? * * * It is hard for Philosophy that so humble a man shall be made to stand as its exemplar; while Christianity is personified by the here of the Sunday duel with Hon. Tom. Marshall; but such luck will happen. As to our personal appearance, it does seem time that we should say something, to stay the flood of nonsense with which the town must by this time be nauseated. Some donkey a while ago, apparently anxious to assail or annoy the editor of this paper, and not well knowing with what, originated the story of his carelessness of personal appearances; and since then every blockhead of the same disposition and distressed by a similar lack of ideas, has repeated and

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! Why won't you tell the truth once in a century, for the variety of the thing. On another, And it is by such poor drivel as this that the superannuated renegade from all parties and all principles attempts to earn his forced contributions and Official 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 th

all office-holders and other patriots, including the president, who made a palpable allusion to the course of the Tribune in one of his messages. There was talk even of mobbing the office, at one of the war meetings in the Park. Its zeal in behalf of Irish repeal alienated the English residents, who naturally liked the pluck and independence of the Tribune. Its hostility to the slave power provoked the south, and all but destroyed its southern circulation. It offended bigots by giving Thomas Paine his due; it offended unbelievers by refusing to give him more.. Its opposition to the drama, as it is, called forth many a sneer from the papers who have the honor of the drama in their special keeping. The extreme American party abhorred its enmity to Nativeism. The extreme Irish party distrusted it, because in sentiment and feeling it was thoroughly Protestant. The extreme liberal party disliked its opposition to their views of marriage and divorce. In a word, if the course of the T

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. 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.

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
