The New York herald., 1845-02-04


MONSIEUR RooRBAcK GETTING ANGRY The
highly respectable Roorbacks Of the Albany Eve.
ming Journal have recently, it seems, been very
attentive TO the columns OF the Herald, perusing its
contenIs with great degree ef accuracy and re-
search We are very glad to see this disposition
IN our respected contemporaries, and hope it may
nave some good effect upon them in the way of
telling the truth and sticking TO matters of fact II
seems that, alter great deal of pains and trouble
and sweating, they have discovered two slight mis-
takes during the last many months in the columns
OF the Herald One Of these errors, it is alleged,
has been committed by an Albany correspondent
who has mistaken Mr.. Lee, of Westchester, for
Mr. Lee, of Erie, IN the Assembly-a very mo-
mentous blunder, certainly, in the estimation OF
those who can publish forged extracts attribuiing
them to the London Times, and gup down Roor-
backs by the column. But the truth happens TO be
that our correspondent is not mistaken at all-he
has not fallen even into this very trfing error
and the impotence and alsehood OF the Evening
Journal, IN making the assertion, are only worthy
OF that bronze and Roorbackish concern Another
mistake is found in the correspondence from Cia-
verack, relative TO the anti-rent outrages Our
correspondent had the information probably at Sc
cond hand, and gave the best intelligence within
his reach.
All these attempts to impugn the accuracy, in
dusuy, enterprise, and onward progress of the
Herald on the part OF such miserable and con-
tempibe Roorbacks and impudent fellows as ma
mage the albany Evening Journal, are certainly
laughable enough Tha! print, during the last sum-
mer, was defeated at all points, and is now hoote
and coatemned by all honest and decen,
men, and now the poor creatures after pour
ing over the Herald for months, and disco
verng trivial error, ut fell into ecstatic
paroxyms which resemble very much the wrig-
glings of an eel under the process Of skinning.
They say, also, that the correspondence, which
we publish in this journal, is manufactured here
If such were the fact, it would only prove the ex-
traordinary, and almost superhuman talent of lis
editor, the person who is capable of conducting,
with such undertaking regularity, and such perfect
accuracy, a correspondence, embracing almost
every conceivable subject, and from all parts OF the
world more ridiculous attempt, however, to
impugn the accuracy Of our intelligence, and to
cast discredit on our varied and valuable cores
pondence was never made, and every body laughs
at 1t.
But in all this there is nothing new. The &C.
knowledged superiority of this journal, in every
element of newspaper, has long since stung to
the quick such miserable creatures as the Roor-
backs Of the Eve,ing Journal While they have
neither the enterprise, talent, or ability to emn
late, they attempt to depreciate by lying and sour
rous abuse. But we ask the intelligent reader to
look at all the improvements introduced into news
paper business in this country, and say which OF
them did not originate with this establishment
Look at our private express to New Orleans,
which has driven the Post office Department itself
to make some sort of effort in the way of bringing
on the mails with greater expedition than hereto
fore Look at the numerous expresses which we
ran, about a year ago from Boston, on the arri-
val of the steamships, which also drove the Post
office Department into the necessity of establishing
government express to this city on the arrival of
| the steamers from England All the improve
ments connected with the newspaper press, which
| have developed themselves during the last few
years in this country, have had their origin in this
| establishments and on this point we defy contra
diction AS TO the attempts of the albany Epe-
ming Journal to stop our course, we laugh al
| them, and cast them back with scorn.
