NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE. Eve find the following
article in our contemporary, the New York San of
yesterday morning.
Vista, Capt Jarvis which left this port for Halifax
Tuesday Of last week, was employed by the publishers
them at the earliest possible moment with the news
brought by the Cunard steamers, to commence
as arrangements can be made and probably with the
next steamer bound for New York The reports which
give the credit Of originating this undertaking to
Of our neighbors contemporaries incorrect We
started the thing ourselves without any alliances Of
any kind and it is rather provoking that own mo-
desty has in this in other instances deprived us OF
the laurels so justly our due. The fitting ovt Of
steamship expressly adapted to the American
coast and sending her distance almost equal to one
third that from New York Liverpool thereby involv
Ing thousands of dollars merely for news purposes is
no trihng affair and selection of Captain Jarvis
for the service who like ourselves Is second to no one
in business enterprise, has been happy one.
The great Southern Express was prepared and ar
ranged exclusively by ourselves contemporaries af
forwards joining in its benefits and expenses with
praseworthy liberality In the present gigantic enter
prise they will also join; and while accord them
justly deserved credit for their readiness to incur
large expenses for the benefit of their readers claim
for ourselves the credit and in addition the
knowiedgment that we are ever among the hrst ana
foremost in effort and expense to obtain the earliest
news from any and all directions. If necessary to
maintain our welearned reputation thousands Of
expense shall be made tens of thousands, and
presses be extended to Europe and other parts of
the world We intend that the Sun shall be to its
readers all that be desirable in newspaper-ex-
cept in politics. IA doubtful essentially its price
proclams that lit shines for ALL
There is no use in mncing words when you are
dealing with certain kind of people. We pro-
nounce every second paragraph and assertion IN
the above article, either falsehood or a misre-
presentation, and we are not but that they are
both falsehoods and misrepresentation mixed up
together. The NeW York Sun did not start this
steamboat without any alliances of any kind. 1t
was started on the impulse Of four or five other
journals of this city, and agreeaby to their desires
and expectations The attempt to monopolise this
piece of enterprise to its own credit looks too
much like the policy of appropriating the assets Of
the Plainied Bank, or half dozen other banks, in
order to shave the public; but contemporary will
find that we will not submit quietly to the fai
lure of engagements and understandings as the
Legislature or Grand Juries of New Jersey do in
relation to its financial affairs and banking inst-
tutions.
AS far as regards newspaper enterprise, we cer-
talnly can claim merit far more than the Sun can.
1t busters little about the great Southern express
Does 1t not know that five or six years ago we
started exclusively great Southern express, and
run 1t at our own expense Does it not know
that when General Scott went to Mexico we
started, in conjunction with two of our cotem-
poraries in Philadelphia and Baltimore, Southern
express, which brought the news from Mexico in
advance of all others, as long as the news was
worth any thing1 The Southern express which
they proposed and arranged has been a nonentity
and humbug; costing money without any real
advantage, and probably enabling the Sun to get
the news for nothing, while they were protesting
to pay their share of the expenses.
We will not permit the Sun to put forward false
hoods and misrepresentation in regard to newspa-
per enterprise for which several other journals of
this city deserve as much credit as the Sun does,
without putting in denial, and declaring, that if
they are not satisfied are ready, atany moment,
to make arrangements independent of any associa-
ton. We have been as successful in expresses as
any other journal in this country, because we were
liberal, honest and enterprising in our management;
and if the Nep York Sun had taken our advice and
followed our example, and initiated our principles
In their financial and banking concerns some of
them would not have been indicted and waiting
for trial, as they now are, before the community
Once for all, we demand that the Ney York Sun
positively and instantly take back the gross and
dishonest misrepresentation contained in the
above article, or we shall make them feel the ex-
pense of it in another quarter; and that promptly
too.
