who have been hitherto only spectators, actual part
ners IN the game, it will certainly lose none of it
al-absorbing excitement. In day or two we vii
open this new Leaf in the popular philosophy Of poll
tics, and present singular revelations touching
the practical import and tendency Of recent move
nients here and elsewhere
GROSS AND OUTRAGEOUS FALsEHooD AND LIBEL
AT very considerable expense, we published in
this journal, as all our readers are aware, COM
pete and beautiful series Of engravings, illustrative
OF the great funeral procession in this city, on Tues
day last. Our artists received from us about one
hundred dollars for the wood cuts, and what with
their pictorial illustrations, and the description, fur
nished by our eight or ten reporters, we succeeded
in giving an account of the soemnities of the day,
UNNECESSARILY superior to that which appeared in
any other paper in the city. The best evidence Of
this was the immense sale of the Herald, contain
ing this graphic and elaborate account of the pro-
cession. We sold between fifty and sixty thousand
copies of the daily and the orders for the weekly
paper containing the same matter, have been on the
same scale
Annoyed and mortified by our superior enterprise,
our jealous and envious contemporaries Immediately
set to work, with characteristic falsehood and mag
nity,to depreciate labor; and of them which
still gasps and fingers the organ Of snativism" in
this region, came out in the following manners

Thus publicly convicted of forging and uttering
unmitigated lie, our respectable contemporaries
must stand covered with the indignant Reproduction
| of all honorable men. We do not however, intend
to allow Thurlow Weed to escape with impunity.
He has brought libel suit against us for our expo
sure of his notorious Roorback forgery, and we
have gotta fair opportunity Of just retaliation,
which we will not neglect to improve. He has
slandered us in the most outrageous manner, repre-
senting guilty of " impositions upon the pub
lc," charge which we have now shown to be
wholly false and malicious; and will at once in
stitute proceedings against him and prosecute them
to the very utmost extremity-in the language of
the sgnboards put up to warn thieves and trespass-
ers, "with the utmost rigor Of the law"
The "UNIoN' NEWSPAPER, AS A NEWSPAPER
We see in many Of the newspapers frequent attempts
at depreciation of the character Of the Union,
organ of the government 1t is alleged that il lacks
! dignity-sagacity-a discretion; and many doubts
are expressed relative to its vitality and the proba
bty ofits receiving the printing of Congress. We
differ very much from these opinions The Glob
may have had more dignity and more force in GER
tain directions than the Union; but the Union is uR
questonaby much more readable and more anus
ing than its close-mouthed and clustering predeces
sor, and no doubt will receive treble the public pa
tronage which such vindictive, violent, ferocouf

any other journal.
II will be thus seen, that we are decidedly in ia
vor of Richie, Notwithstanding all his amusing
: twaddle, and greenness Of knowledge relative te
the world about him. Although our venerable and
philosophc friend is about seventy years Of age il

over seventeen. He has all the youthful sprightli

able journal in its place. We also approve Of tn
