Incompatible Enterprise
We are quite willing that the Boston PRESS, Is
well az another class of journalists VINO guy u'e"
news Of the Herald and pay for IN such colase a'
ao..a,ient should decry the stupidity, &c.
I,:c Erpress without comment from US, II
g. iii, keen somewhere near the boundaries OF
truth, When they stray too far into the oomln'on
opposite, we are obliged to make some corrections
The Boston Mail. in treating of the Halifax enter
mise. talks of "ihe stupidity with which II was
MANNED, and the karum.Scagunn style IN which IL
ennears TO have been executed" We submit thai
this is neither fair nor just considering that the u0n
Itself and all the Boston journals obtained thas
n.,gs one dnv earlier BIZ means of that same Hat
far Erp,ess. Il was that which pushed the Cam
br;a through to Boston in 351 hours after she reach
ed Halifax instead of the two full days she would
otherwise have talLo-, giving the Boston journals
their news ON Wednesday evening instead OF Thurs
day morning and sending it all over the Country
day earlier than it could have gone otherwise. Gen
tlemen of Boston we ask no thanks Of you for this,
but you might well refrain from calumniatng US
unless you, too, depend on the Herald Tor your
news. We though. your obligations extended only
to the Boston Reading. Room.
The stupidity with which it wasplanned would
have been redeemed by " the haru,a Scdruna style
in which il was executed THE Mail has probably
some steady going land tortoise or terrapin employ
ed to run IT'S expresses regular pace but for the
unforeseen necessity of applying at the Halifax Gus
tom. House for permission 10 run our steamboat up
10 Annapolis-a necessity for which we are proba-
bly, indebted to that delectabe West India arrange
ment whereby Van Buren, and McLane surrender
ed at discretion to England our right to fair trade
with her Colonies none a. all. That the Custom
House should betray enterprise 10 the Cunard
Steamer agency at Halifax and that every means
within the power of that agency and the British OH
cals al Halifax should be put in requisitlon to de-
feat us-even TO q refusal to deliver the British pa
pers on board the Cambria TO their owners-we GER
tainly did not foresee, owing to " the stupidity
aforesaid bat, if we had foreseen all this, how
would the Mails sagacity have helped our stu
pidty" out of the difficulty?
Tho Boston Courier, we hear flor we have not
seen the paragraph states that Montreal compa-
ny, or somebody connected with Canada Express,
paid all the expenses from Halifax to Portland!
We should like to give $4,000 to have this proved
true.
The Philadelphia San says thai The Tribune and
its associates entered into "a combination con-
spiracy' 10 run from Halifax for the sole purpose
of defeating the Herald" Nothing can be farther
from the truth. We have at all times been ready
and willing 10 unite with any or all of our cotem
poraries in any necessary expenditures to procure
the earliest news We would gladly have done so
in this instance. But on commencing our prepare
tons to obtain the Cambrias news, we found that
the Long Island Railroad had been monopoizcd by
the Herald and its asseciates-we could not be per
mitted TO bring our news with iheirs-we could not
hire train over the Road at any price No choice
was left US but to give up beaten and the News
monopoZed and kept back to suit the convenience
of the Herald's stockiobbing associates or run to
Halifax as the sole alternative Do we deserve dis
paragement for choice1
And here is the total Of :" the incompara-
BILE enterprise which the National Police Gazette
ascribes to the Herald. Ii amounted, simply and
solely 10 monopolizing the Long Island Railroad,
and binding the Directors TO allow no other Express
train to be run over it, Perhaps that is incompara-
BILE enterprise; perhaps is something else. Call
it what you think proper. With equal chance
TO run over that Road. we should have beaten into
this City handsomely.
The Philadelphia Chronicle Baltimore Prices
Current and fifty other journals repeat the Herelds
ton in seyen hours and fUe minutes. Finding this
assertion thus respectfully endorsed, we have
word to say to it. The Cambria reached Boston
some two and hall hours after our Express-say
10! oclock-and Bennetrs agent warned that she
was coming by the arrival Of our Express and by
the starting of our locomotive for Worcester must
have been ready to start by II o'clock Seven
hours and FIVE minutes would bring him into this
city at FIVE minutes past on Thursday morning.
Why, then, if he indeed FIRE or sic hours in
advance ofus, as the Herald and its echoes assert
was not the News given TO the public till half an
hour after our Express arrived7 Was there not
time for all necessary SUB rosa operations in Wall.
ST, before II o'clock Nay, more land here we
clench them,l ohy did not the Express from the
Herald Office for the U. s. Gasette cross the Jer.
seq City Ferry before IL O'Clock ? Il, crossed at
halEpast ~ Why was not the news sent of by
The regular Railroad tram at O'Clock, rendering
Horse Express unnecessary VIII any body au-
swerl
The Boston journals which dilate on the loss Of
one or two padde.blades by the Cambria in her out,
side sea.voyage from Halifax, do not care to state
that our steamboat lost necessarily four times as
many by her in-shore route down narrow strait
and bay. and that the Cambria Us it was made the
quickest passage eper made from Haiifar. Butp
matter.
