Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1840-11-12
We have received several communi-

4 catiOnS Iatciy. very sih'l"r 10 tno Ioi-
lowing, Qhough much more severe, }
and have uniformly declined inserting
them. prcsnming that after the Election,
and il was well ascertaincd that the
cause Of "Whiggery" was triumphant,
the Republican would have become a
title more decent, especially as it re-
ceived an inadequate support from 'is
own party-but the article which VIC
extract (in another column from that
paper of yesterday, is SO unlike what
was expected, under all the circumstan-
ces, VIC do not feel justified in withhold
ing the communication that follows any
longer.
\ So far as regards ourselves, it is a
mniter OF no moment 10 US whether that
paper il continued or discontinued -
The support we have received from ou'
friends we make no complaints about
However limited it may have been, we
feel grateful for it, and trust tha, we
shall continue to receive it so long ms
our course shall be approved ofby them
but wo have no expectation Of enjoy
ing their patronage any longer than we
are deserving Of it.
iFor the Herald OF the Times.
Ma. ATKINsON:-The Editors Of the
II. |. Republican in their paper Of the
2lst October, have begging, whining
sort of an article, addressed to their
subscribers and political friends, COM
planning of the inadequacy Of their sup
port, and even threatening their party
with detection from their cause, at least,
SO far as to become neutral, unless their
i" services" arc better appreciated and
paid for than they have been. They
further stated that they huve had "temp-
ting offers" from the wings, sc.
Now | would like to enquire what
these so very serriceable Editors expect
of the citizens Of Newport Every ono
who has seen their paper knows, that
for the last four years, if not longer,
they have done all in their power to
war against and destroy the vital inter-
csts of the people here. as well as the
people OF the country at large. They
have le!i no stone unturned to bring our
Bsnhs into discrodit--havc resotied to
low slang and vulgar abuse Of them,
and Of those who were concerned in
them, and this, too, while they were
borrowing from them to sustain their
filthy sheet, as well as astonishing as
Il may SEEM deriving from them AM
amount of patronage, without which,
hey could not have continued their pa |
per single yoar. They have not only
'etailcd the falschoods aud slanders Of
he most ultra Loco Foco papers, but
ave even gone so far as to publish /
ew new and novel plans Of banking and \
inancc-original and manufactured to |
Drder-that have not a little aston
shed the natives:-have cried chow.
vow, ;" whenever the big dogs barked:
and have exhibited a most wonderful |
icgrec Of skill and accuracy in predict
ng the results Of Elections, a few spc-
linens Of which arc now before me in /
he same paper, viz" l8O Electoral
otes SURE for Pan Buren," Glorious

Now, if the good people Of this good
own Of Newport, after being fully
ware Of the wonderful "scrvices, :" the
cute sagacity, the unerring accuracy
f those scrviceablo" Editors, do sui-
.r such services" and such zeal 10
o unrewarded and unapprccistcd, then
urely we are the most ungrot,tmi set of
eople in the Universe.
And their political friends in particu-
'r, who have been misled by their pro-
'und wisdom, and undertaking nccura-
Y, so as to bet their money and lose il on
suits of Elections, surely they will ,
ot be insensiblc to their worth and
sciulness-they certainly will make !,
'cat efforts to sustain these " scrvicea- :,
c" editors. q
These scrviccablss" tell us further !,
that they honestly believe that the h
'osmes they havo advocated, will best o
omote the Public &cal." Suppose d
allow that these very serriceoJh :, "
rsons know nearly, or quite, if you n
case, as much about the "Public IT
