Reports aud Reporting.

of this paper have for long time pas
made immense efforts to give our readers early, full
and accurate reports on all ding and important 10
pies that have occurred throughout the country il
politics, religion, fashion, aad general subjects .
everr Kind Ihis, we know, will be admitted. be
/ ean-e il is the truth.
ASont three years ago, we commenced this new
system OF reporting small scale and gradsaii,
improved and increase efforts in relation to the
religions anniversaries and great political and other
meet pgs, until we have far onistrpped every COM
pstior; and carried reporting 10 higher point than
ever before was in This country and which has
been acknowledged By friend and foe.
II is strange, then; most strange-shat whilst the
excellence of our reports, and unparalleled in
du'7Ty, enterprise, and perseverance, are admitted
on all hands, and our course appaudedt is strange
'ha. professed friends and avowed enemiss, should
repeatedly cspy these reports, and laud them for
their accuracy and fidelity and yet all stu
diously cencealthe source whence they obtain them
This has been so repeatedly the with the
ductors of newspapers all the country, that
are tired of complaining of Them but latterly new
system OF piracy columns has sprung up in
this city a set Of mean, contemplate fellows have
taken the speeches Of Mr. Webster, Mr.. Wright,
&c which we iad reported exclusively for this pa
very great expense, and have published them
in pamphlet form, verbatim from columns with
out the least credit being given.
That there always will be, in large and mixed
community like that of New York, men mean enough
for such line of conduct, doubts. But that
young and otherwise enterprizing, industrious and
respectable publishers like Youngs & Hunt should
lend the sanction Of their to such mean pro-
ceeding, is almost hey ond belief Two reports of
Mr ehsfe nd
500 to obtain, they published in pamphlet form,
without acknowledging in the least the source
from whence they were obtained. They cannot ex.
pect the community to sanction such shabby piece
Of business. E.
But there has been a still more mean line Of con-
duet pursued by the two religious persons whose
names we give below. These gentlemen have pub
lished in a neat pamphlet the whole of Mr.. Robert
Newtons celebrated Farewell Sermon, taken word
for word from the Herald they even introduce with
the following attering preface and yet meanly and
studiously conceal the source whence they procured

sermo. delivered BY that eminent, useful and popu
lar divine ROBERT NEWTON, while in this country

discourse, with an accuracy and correctness that

1t will be found plain pointed and powe rfsl and
have no hesitation in saying that every Christian Of
whatever will be well repaid by lis pc

those who had he pleasure Of hearing it drop from
his lips, in the simple and unaffected eloquence for
which he Is so deservedly esteemed. ..
Some persons object to the custom Of publishing
to the world the sentiments the dec laratons Of
mas without 6rst Obtaining his approx al and correc-
tions. There havo been, and cases now, where
this objection is well founded but where mans

dergo the ordeal Of profound and searching criticism
but simply for their truth simplicity and usefulness

fishing them from reports which in the man part
corrsct and more especially so, when the original
cannot be obtained.
mons preached by this minister Of Christ could not
have been procured but with the exception Of three
including this, they flung upon the air, and like
all such, are in great measure forgotten.
Wishing 90 preserve whatever is good, and to gra-
tfy not only my own but the wishes OF many OTHERS
is the only reason which have to offer fer the pre-
sent publication. Whether shall be rcmuneratsd
Tor its execution Is yet to be determined but il il
shall be the means Of ''doiug good" which / sim

II affords me pleasure to add the approvin ing testi
mony Of the Rev Mr.. Glider, Ia the following note
have read the Sermon here presented 10 the
public and having heard it delivered in the Church
over which now preside, take pleasure in stating
that, in my estimation IL is very correctly reported

Now we would, in all calmuess ask these holy and
venerable men, who put rich black broadeloth on
their broad shoulders, smooth down the hair daily
look demure, and lay claim 10 nearly all the morali-
ty aud all the honesty TO be found in this age wheth
er they can find any chapter, any verse, any hall
verse any tract OF of verse, sentence, word or sim
gle syllable in the Holy Scriptures which they preach
from and whose prseepts they profess to practice to
warrant such scandalous and dishonest conduct as
this If not, WI y have they done so We pause
for reply
