called MoRDEcA MANAssKH Moan, against my
family onrlng the last five or six months. These
will be civil SUITS commenced in civil court, but
shall, also, at the proper time lay all these aggre-
/ gate and arocous offences before the Grand Jury,
and invoke the remedy which the criminal laws
4 hold over the heads Of malicious defamers
| For more than six years this man, NOAH, has
been defaming my reputation and character, by the
publication OF the atrocious falsehoods against
myself, IN every possible shape and form, until, by
his conduct, he has broken down and been driven
from every newspaper with which he was connect
ed For these libelson myself, care nothing-and
never could have noticed them in any shape. But,
during the last six months, he has had the audacity
and brutality to try to defame and insult all the fe-
male members OF my family-a mode of attack and
controversy, which is unfit for any civilized
communicated which is only suffered to ex-
list in the lowest stages of brutality and beast
liness-ln dark and ignorant age. For these
mean and brutal attacks-conscious OF being equal
to any person in this community, either in birth,
education, or reputation, my family have too much
sprit-too high personal character-and too much
contempt for the source they spring from, or the
places they circulate in, to give them moments
uneaslness in any capacity, or in any position
But II Is a duty which | owe to society-to the
character of the presto the reputation Of New
York-and to the good name which will be trans
mitted to my children. during their future career,
to take this brutal man, Noah from the sink of cor
ruptlon and beastliness into which he has fallen
TO bring him into the courts of justice, and there
before the world, to punish him he deserves, and
exhibit his beastly career a warning to others.
The cause of this atrocous conspiracy against
me and my family may be readily traced to
the remarkable success of the newspaper estab-
llshment which / have created in this country,
without money. without rich friends or wealthy
connections. The surprising success has so far
surpassed the expectations of my contemporaries,
that they attribute to my prosperity and untiring
enterprise the downfall of their own schemes, and
the destruction of their own miserable papers.
Hence the jeaousy-he rivalry-the hatred-the
intense hostility which many of the other Jour
nallsts and their friends entertain towards the Neto
York Herald and its proprietor. l came to this
city nearly thirty years ago. started the Herald
in 1885, and have succeeded by my own talents,
Industry and the generosity of the American people,
to place it at the head of journalism on this CONT
nent. This has excited the jealousy of my rivals,
hence their constant attacks for many years past.
In this brutal mode of warfare, the Jew, M. M
Noah, has been from the beginning one of the prin-
cpal instgators and ringeaders but it Is only du
ring the last few months that could catch the wretch
on his own responsibility, under his own name.
Towards all these journalists and their miserable
cliques, who have been engaged in such business,
we have nothing but the most thorough contempt
My family and myself can maintain our position,
our character, our reputation, in every resp .ctabe
circle in this or any other country, against all the
private slanderers that can attempt to traduce US.
Conscious of the possession of virtues, honor,
merits and talents equal to any in this city, we will
move in our orbit undlsturbed, and fulfil our destiny
equally resolute and undismayed. But it is duty
which | owe to society-to the character Of the
press-and to our own reputation, to punish this
Jew, Noah, tor his numerous brutalities. Fifteen
or more distinct suits at law, for libel will there
fore be Immediately begun against him, and also
criminal proceedings and thus jury of the country
and the laws of the land, may have an opportunity
to give to that man the punishment that he merits
and to brand upon his forehead the title that best
fits him.
