clique of the New York American, smartng under
the exposures which we have given of their misera

the Herald, for its publishing descriptions of

In republic, there is nothing in social, political
moral religious life that is private, beyond the
limits OF the press. This is the mpregnable prnci-
pie we stand upon. The mise rable clique of the
