Such is a synopsis Of Pub. Doc. with which we
were favored YESTERDAY in obedience to nothca'
ton in the mornings Corner y Enqarsr-Ne
believe this proceeding will have surprised even
those who deemed themselves fully aware OF the
depths Of ab-urdty aud folly often fathomed BY the
responsible Editor of that paper. A brei exp ana
ton may be necessary for the casual ana c''o''S7
reader
An article entitled The Mystery Of in'q'Hy
was published originally in the American he''e"
for Nav and June occupying the leading place ~
that work The former portion Of II was prai-eo III
the Courier as well as in the Tribune the 'a,'e',
when /, appeared. was most vehemehl'y "'"."
bv the Courier apparently on account OF soi'o nv
dental and invidous illusions therein 10 oe''"i"
yyb;,s of this City as friends OF Mr. webster pu'
a.. rd;,or of the Courier did not content himself
,.;,h attacks on the obnoxious paragraph nor even
,ho en,i,c article He assaed in the most op-
.-ot;o,s terms the well known author oil Inc
vv.,ery' charged him with U,soaay-with being
-. ncnsioner on the bounty of the Wing party-with
having received money from the Wing General
Committee for preparing this article-and win the
base ingra,itude Of stabbng with deadly intent inc
very men on whose generosity he was subslstlns
These and other utterly false bascless calumnIes
,..re a., forth in powerful journal against man
who had no channel through which to appear 10 inc
nnblic in acknowledgements the batteries Oh tne
Review itself were turned against him-and VINO
de.endng ON his talents and literary capacity LOT q
livelihood was assailed in most vital part by the
Examinations Of falsehood, yenaliry treachery and
insanity
The gentleman thus assailcd mad never oeeh con
nec,ed with The Tribune las he had been win
the Courier ans proicred no special claims 10 b'
heard through our columns The controversy was
one TO which we were in no shape party, and
which we were particularly DESTROYS 20 keep out
of Yet it seemed just so requisite, that the
assaulted should be heard in his own vindica'on that
we have permitted him to address the pubic
through the Daily Tribune, though often Obliged 10
DELAY from day to day his answer to some iresh out
byesk of the Courers eBvenomed hatred Every
man woman and child who read The Tribune per
fccty understood that re had no part In the quarrel
Once the Courier asserted that we endorsed the
attack on Mr.. Webster and his iricnds ana
though The Tribune of that same morning con
tanned an ex press disavowal OF any such endorse
men, and an expression OF a contrary sentiment
that paper has never yet rctractcd its assertion.
On the 2ith ult we were visited by one OF the
Editors of the Courier who asked us to copy from
their paper of that morning an Editorial reloindcr
to the las, preceding article in our columns OF the
snbor of The Mystery There was no shadow
NJ elimination held out to US that this was asked OF
M. otherwise than as an act of Editorial courtesy
We instantly replied that the article should appear
and published it, at some inconvenience next morn
ing. Ofths transaction we find the following ac-
count in yesterdays Courier;
"Tbs repy we requested one of associates to ask
the propreiors of the Tribune publish M the distinct
understanding thai i they refused ace should unmed,d'ey
,aauue a sui against them for libel They accordingly
gave II place.
Now this was not the first nor the second time
that the Editor Of the Courier had asked MS to pub
lish his side OF controversy in which he was the
the Courier We have uniformly complied with
his requests though we do moi remember that we
have ever asked any kindred favor ofhim We in
fer that he has resolved ask any more of
and if he has any more such messages for as he
says he sent in the above instance, we trust he will
perceive the propre,y of choosing as his sscnger
one who is not intimate personal friend This
was no, an errand on which gentlemen are accus
toned to send their associates, but rather some tip
staff or porter who if he should happen TO meet
with any personal indigniiy, will simply put IT IN
the bill
The Courier procccds-scitng up rule which
will prove rather announcement TO us in case the
other party to the controversy sees ii, to adopt il
and hold us responsible for the contents of Col
webbs article, which we published for him:
There /. a poin, at which forbearancc 10 be
virtue and have therefore. directed our lawyer &c
commence suit in the Circuit Court against the pro
prctors of the Ibsne for libel In order that they may
prove the truth of thar allegations and we pledge our
self that far concerned rule practice
Of the Courts shall be permitted to interfere with thci
giving the truth In evidence full justification for THEN
conduct To reiteraie denial Of the charge of
vHp,io pertinacously insisted upon BY The Tribune
would be Idle; 1t is alleged that they have the proofs ii
their possession, and Of course honest in he decara
tion they feel any apprehension of the result
suit
We beg the Colonel 10 dismiss all thought of ap
prehenson' in the premises-wo have become usc'
10 this sort Of thing and greet the face of rien
the Deputy Sheriff with very different feeling from
that which is summoned by the unwelcome appari
ton of that everlasting Collector of Militia Fines
OR Deputy lhis modcsty compels us to withhold
his name is capital Wing and gentleman I'VE I
bet hat tina, the Militia nuisance is Il Loco Foco
and We always have cosy talk over of matters AM
things when he drops in with one of these funn,
capiases We shall miss him sadly vixen the fool
are all dead and lbelsuit against Editors based o.
other folks quarrels have gone clean on, of fashion
We trust his recompcnse for these little acts OF Kind
meas don't depend on the amount of the verdict
RocxAwAY-As We sit sweltcring in our hcr,
den, porting over books, papers and letters which
we have barely strength 10 open, and tryins
10 be halfway civil to droppngin friends whomtse hav
no time to treat as We could wish there tinkes on Gu
ear the escaping noise of tiny stream OF Croton eles
Heaven Tor that consolation Of Gotham snd straight
aytherc wanders through drowsy brain there float
before hscosed eyes vision of GOODNESS and com
fort, But where is the reality by that vision susges'e'
and predicted Not here where the sun pours down It's IN
toerabe fervor on pulvcrzed streets and glowing walls
and pcrspre at every pore no, al home where IN
scanty herbsge burnt up and esredfor vegetables
