GROSS AND OUTRAGEOUS FALsEHo0p AND LIBEL
AT very considerable expense, we published in
this journal, as all our readers are aware, com
plee and beautiful series Of engravings, illustrative
OF the great funeral procession in this city, Tues
day last. Our artists received from US about one
hundred dollarsfor the wood cuts, and what with
their pictorial illustrations, and the description, fur
nished by our eight ten reporters, we succeeded
IN giving 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 NATTER have been the
same scale.
Annoyed and mortified by our superior enterprise,
our jealous and envous contemporaries Immediately
set to work, with characteristic falsehood and maLg
niy,o depreciate our labor; and one Of them which
still gasps and fingers as the organ of navsm in
this region, came out in the following manner:-
HuMnuc.-The Herald came out yesterday with a
whole SIDE containing what purported to be- pictorial
view ofhe Funeral Procession Of General Jackson
Tuesday. We should Like to know how many times

how many different purposes flour history of them be

imported into this country by Wilson to put in the pcto
Croton Water Celebration when they used again
and after being laid aside for year or two, were made
and Sunday Atlas Now, to cap the climax, they are
brought out hope for the last timc, to be pamed of
as correct pictorial view Of the great funeral process

very like is Coronation of Que to the burial Of
American President and hero No native" we hope
would undertake to practice such piece ofhumbuggery
upon his countrymen and is disgracefu tolerate it
in any one. This is :" a great country"
Of this series of deliberate falsehoods we find the
following endorsement in the albany Epening Jour
nal, paper conducted by Thurlow Weed

General Jacksons funeral procession Tuesday last
which appeared exclusively" in a certain notorious
journal Of that city, have already performed duty on the

The Tyler Procession in ls43 and lastly this funeral

There should be statute of limitations against these i'm
positions upon the public.
Now, see how easily we convict these wholesale
sanderers Of the grossest and most audacous false

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 IMMUNITY.
He has brought libel suit against us for our expo
sure of his notorious Roorback forgery, and we
have now gotta fair opportunity of just retaliation,
which we will not neglect to improve. He has
slandered lis in the most outrageous manner, repre-
senting us guilty Of "impositions upon the pub
lic," charge which we have now shown to be
wholly false and malicious; and we will at once in
sttute proceedings against him and prosecute them
to the very utmost extremity-in the language oil

| 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. II is alleged that il lacks
dignity-sagacty-an discretion; and many doubts
are expressed relative to its vitality and the proba-
bility ofits receiving the printing of Congress. We
differ very much from these opinions. The Globe
may have had more dignity and more force in GER
tam directions than the Union; but the Union is un-
questionably much more readable and more anus
ing than its -mouthed and clustering predeces.
