A shameful Fraud:
list is going the rounds Of forty questions pro
pounded to practical manufacturers and others by
Mr.. Secretary Walker Of the Treasury Department.
II would seem from hat is given TO the public that
this circular Is TO Manufacturers. &c. ind,s-
rvsmiaateiy with the view Of collecting testimony
from practical men Of all sorts OF opinions TO be
submitted 10 Congress for the information oil tha'
body. But we are assured by gentleman who
has recently been engaged in visiting and procuring
information from, the manufacturers Of Newark,
Paterson. &c that these Circulars manly trans
mnted 10 Postmasfers, and By them handed out TO
those Manufacturer only rho are likely 10 return
such onsreys as Mr. Walker desires! OF One
Hundred Wing Manufacturers our informant has re-
Gently visited not one has received one OF Mr.
Walkers inquistive Circulars, while the only six
Loco Foco Manufacturers he has found only three
of them American have each been blessed with the
Secretary inquiries, and will doubtless answer
them as per margin.
OF course. we shall have great body Of Loco
Foco statistics. made to order, showing that the Ia
riff ought 10 be upset by the next Congress Let
them come All we ask il that the public shall
understand how they are got together.
EYr The Express devoted a column and half
yesterday TO attacks on The Tribune. Of which we
shall notice briefly the material falsehoods. The
Express seeks to give the impression thathe Hh'g
Press Of this State countenances its attacks on The
Tribune. and to do so it quotes literally from "a
O. raf md ion
paper" These are all It's authorities. Now we
knor that the Rochester paper quoted is Loco
Foeo. and we have doubt that both the others
are 30 This is queer evidence that The Whigs are
dcnouncing The Tribune for its alleged affnes
with Loco Focoism
The Express renews its charge Of Infdety gains
The Tribune, saying
ave cbsrgedt with being guilty OF the rankes Infdel
iiy and offered TO prove the charge If the Editor would
lend his files so lar from complying with the offer
the conscious guilt If The Tribune Immediately admitted
that in it, commentators OF Robert Owen, when thai
great apostle Of Infdely uttered his snahemss against
Christianity and pronounced its author mpostor and
his doctrines superstition, he commended him for his
performance and pronounced his denunciations'se
sible ="
This is wickedly false. We never heard Robert
Owen utter "anathemas against Christianity
pronounce its author an impostor." What he did
say that we esteemed sensible was his counsel TO
the Infde Convention to waste no time and efforts
on mere negatons Of other folks belief but to pro.
claim and labor for the affirmative principles of
Universal Mental Liberty and Universal Charity,
eschewing the term Infdel as unmeaning and
barren This we thought sensible advice. in contra
distinction from the frotby rawlings which it com
bated. And this is the Express solitary evidence
OF our lniidety, when the very article in which il
appeared contained an explicit dissent from Inideli.
~ and indicated our faith in Christianity
The file Of The Tribune 1--WE have but one since
the fire, and that purchased is always to be found
IN our publication Office, and is cheerfully handed to
friend or foe who wishes to examine it, We can |
not spare il from the Office but the Express is |
welcome to search it there.
The Expresses accusations of D0y77sm and Loco |
Focoism may pass without reply. If any journal |
has been more effective than The Tribune in oppo- |
sing Dorrism and Loco Focosm it is by reason of |
It's greater ability not Of its more ardent zeal or un.

And now with regard to Anti Rent 1t is
very true that we do not regard the Ant. Rent
cause and its advocates with the ferocity OF hatred
and detcs,aton which is cvinced by most other
journals IN this city. We think that at least por
lion Of the dissatisfied tenants labor under real erev
Ances which ought TO be investigated and redress
I'd. peacefully and legally, at the time that all
lawlessness and disorder sternly rcpressed by
the civil power. We have never believed nor |
taught that the tenants could or ought to hold the
lands they live on otherwise in defiance of the |
titles of the Landlords; but We consider the |
easchold system bad one, and are anxious to see
i terminated by the leaseholders becoming freehold
ere on equitable terms And when we say equa- |
bic. mean that !, would not be equitable for the |
landlords to exact of the tenants the full present
value of the lands which value has been mainly ere
ated by those tenants arduous long continued toll
