hoods The Tribune was not in existence III
those days. but the editor was, and he published
large number of Ogle's speech, which he now
gloriesn. That speech was substantially true
we cannot recall single assertion unsup-
ported by official vouchers True, we have heard
that purchases were charged to Van Buren, whicl.
he never made but, on referring to the speech,
wc always found that these were not charged to
Van Buren,. Instances Of prohigate appropria-
ton and waste of the Public Money by others
were given IN that speech, but they were not
charged to Van Buren,, SO far as we have ex-
amined. That speech, after making all the abate-
ment that can be asked, proved, in our judgment,
at once prodigality, meanness and violation OF
law on Mr.. Van Buren,, or at least on those acting
in his behalf and under his eye. And, when we
consider the East Room fabrication of 1928,
and the famous Retrenchment Report then con-
cocted by Benton, Van Buren,, and Woodbury.,
we say that the exposures of this speech of Ogles
were eminently deSerred by those on whose heads
they fell Mr. Atlas, whenever you shall fancy
that any body is tired of hearing about Ogle's
speech be sure it is not here you are to look for
!
that customer.
II 1t is ever idle to expose the falsehood and
baseness of the Ne,o- York Herald. Nothing so
aatters its Editor as to be esteemed the most I'M
pudent and unolushng rascalin the Country, and
it is the reputation Of this that gives his paper
whatever notorlety it enjoys. Its patrons are
usually attracted to it by a kindred spirit and no
more think of relying on It's Editorials for truth
or fairness than for pety and hearty henevoence.
The leader in yesterdays issue is fair sample Of
its habtual audacity and wilful violation of truth
The Fourier Social movement never had any
shadow of connection with Politics, and those
interested in it are Of all parties and creeds as
every decentIy informed person is aware 1t
would be Just as smart to talk of Morses Elec-
trio Telegraph as invented TO subserve political
purpose and as powerful auxiliary to this or that
party. as to talk like the Hcrad's rgmarole,
which the unprincped adventurer perfectly un-
derstood when he was penning it, grossly lgnor-
ant as he habitually shows himself of our Institu
tons and Politics
So of John A. Collins and his Community
near Skancateles. They have not so much in
common with the Fourierists as Mahommedans
have with Christians. They never were any
thing like Fourierists, nor pretended to be; they
cherish radically opposite sentiments with regard
to Individual Property, Government, Religion,
&c. They have never been connected with the
Fourierists, but have always avowed themselves
determined opponents ofFourier's system. and their
undertaking had its origin in the Abolition cause,
of which their noted men have been active and
prominent champions.
But what use in stating these pal pable facts /?
The honest and intelligent understand them al
ready; the knavish do not want the truth known
pre'erring to stimulate and profit by the preudices
of the ignorant and simple, which will doubtless
be nurscd and kept alive so long as any thing can
be made out OF them
The alleged Creed Of the Skaneateles people,
if genuine appears to have been surrcptitously
published, and to have been asscnted to by but
part OF them 1t is SO utterly adverse to the fund
amenta principles of the Fouriersts that the first
glance must convince any reader of Benefits
paper that he is making lies his refuge Its ex-
preston of disbelief in all Special Providences
Revelation, the part of a handful Of Radicals
on a farm, might be appalling, were not Religion
so strongly fortified as with us. But while so
zealously sustained by the new Holy Alliance OF
the Courier d Enquirer, Herald, and Journal Of
Commerce, what has Christianity to fear, even
from the efforts of Mr.. John A. Collins
