The Tribune Of Monday INDUCES itsen ~ W. -
umns and half upon the Express and fnodesuy ask
us 10 copy IT, II the Tribune bad began at the bennn-
Of the controversy and had not repeated us isehooo
that the circustion and standing OF the 5 fiDlne
prompted our remarks upon the dangerous oocuihe'
taught there we might have beeded the request
IL not this owning dead beaten' The Express
without shadow or prcience Of provoca'ion' maze
q savage attack upon us, assaiIing our character
Political Religious and general, with the deliberate
intent Of breaking down The Tribune or discredlt
inc IL with the Wing party. We replied and
when its grounds Of attack had been fully developed
in long article we laid that article rerbativ before
our readers asking the Exprcsst to do the same with
our accompanying reply. This Il refuses to do, on
the grounds set forth above One Of them afiirms
that our article was tro columns and a half long
when in fact ii was considerably less hon t,eo cot
umns as all orr readers have seen, in our larger
open type, and was in fact but ittle longer than me
Erpress's 10 rhich IL ros a reply and which we
COPIED. Thus although our readers have seen both
sides Of the controversy which the Express com
ncnccd. its readers have not only been kept in ig
norance Of our ground, bat even OF The fact mat ~e
hare COPIED the Erpress's article! Shame on such
cowardce! Shame on the assailant who, refusing
to let us be heard reiteraes his foul assertions that
we seek to " excite class against class make the
Poor hate the Rich" and i" tell them their remedy is
in pulling down those who are better oil than they
are"-All our readers must know that our views
are utterly adverse TO all this and that the Express
is but INDUCING natural appetite for deiaming and
injuring its neighbor.
In the same spirit. the Express says of Repeacrs,
Socialists, Anti Renters &c. that
"tbe Express IL IL finds allies in Of these opinions
finds them ,pe Of such opinions and does not deem
necessary TO adopt their mOnstroes. OF to persuade
society ~ adopt them in order 10 win their votes The
Tribune would fain have the Wing party OF the North
and South become Fourierifcs Socialists, Agrarans,
Anti Renters anti spal Punishment people RePealcrs
Transcendentass too, because many such people vote
the Wing ticket. and would fain mix up sound Wing
principles with all principle so unsound In ofder 10 WIN
the votes Of such men,
Our readers must know that this is wholly unfair
and untrpc--that we have been utterly opposed TO
any mixing up Of our orn notions or those OF any
other paper with the settled and well defined prn-
ciples of the Wing party Fourierism, Repeal,
anti Hanging, RECONSIDERATION &c. may be ever
40 right or wrong, but the Wing party as the Wing
party, has never seen fit to pronounce any judgment
upon them Ii might just as well undertake to de-
nounce Phrenoogy, Puseyism or Unitariansmas
these. Nobody has ever asked the Express TO
adopt any Of these nobody objects to its condemn
ing them il it thinks proper Ii is the mixing up OF
utterly irrelevant matters with politics and denounc
ing thousands of stcadiast Wings an the name Of
Wig principles and the IPhig party that we pro.
test against. Let it do these things in its name
and il may babhle its inaniiies till doomsday.
The Express, though it has room for our ari
Gle. copies at much length from the U. S. Journal
and Cleveland Herald to show what we mean, and
closes with the assertion tina, The Tribune is great
injury to the Wing cause, especially in the Slave
States, "ior The Tribune sets useIf mp the great
Wig organ Of the Norfh.' Comment on such
assertions surely cannot be needed.
