MEANNESS ANB CREDIT hese are strange
words, except when applied exclusively to federal
whiggery, to be seen in conjunction. BY credit
we mean newspaper credit. We mean this that
when we see ali article, whether appearing as edi-
torial or not, but original so far as the public gen
orally are concerned, we would never reprint it
without giving due credit to It's source if We could
discover it. Consequently, never would be
guilty Of the meannesss of copying articles from
cotemporary and abusing him in the same paper.
OF abuse. alone, we speak not neither do We
heed it, It's the fate of genus.
But we do not like to see such sins, in these
times of holy excitement, stalk forth unchecked
Partaking Of the spirit Of reform now abroad in the
land, we enter our protest against stealing; especi-
ally such hauls as the very pous, lying editor Of
the New Albany Gazette has been guilty of. lie
has stolen upwards of eight columns Of matter from
US, in one paper. We aude particularly to the
bill for completing the public works. We publish
ed, at some expense and much trouble, this, and
many other documents o. the kind, for which we
think we deserred credit In some instances we
have had it, We shall remember it, But we viii
take this occasion to say, that the bill, known as
Marshall's bill, on the subject of the completion of
the internal improvement works, is not correct as
published in the Wabash Express, and some other
papers and the only correct copy was first pub
ished in this paper, from which the New Albany
Gazette has stolen il.
These are small matters to US, but we like to have
our due, especially when editorial purse has
been sucked. may have been the printer ofthc Ga
zeite who stole it if so, we gre him creditor
knowing more than his master.
