mallo,ou. Attack. upon the Ua,oa.


There seems to be design very generally manifested
the part of the wing press not only to cry down. bu
to lie down, the Union Hence we made the butt Of
assault and the object OF Misrepresentation and false
hood. by the wing press in every quarter Ii is but
short time since we exposed forgery committed against
us by the Albany Evening Journal implying better
principle than, under sufficient circumstances of tempa
ton, would forge counterfeit bank note Yet that
forgery of the Evening Journal thus exposed and stamped
base coin has been recently reproduced by the wing
press in Georgia, Florida, and others OF the south
en States and is now circulating in that section of the
Union
Recently we have been made the victim C. another
unprnepled and shameless forgery by the editor of the
Daily Commercial Journal Of Pttsbug 1t is in the fol-
lowing language:
"Down with the l' aat "ftg 1o,
Our readers, not knowing the perate malice of
OF the wing press will be astonshed be informed that
such sentence written by either of the editors
OF the Union but is forgery, every letter and word,
by the editor OF the Commercial Journal who has the
impudence to hold up his head in honest community
We should look upon ourselves the most despicablt
of wretches if we were to treat of brethren OF the
press in such manner We such base expedients
to njure our opponens and those who resort to them
may enjoy all the credit and honor which they gain
by them without any apprehension that shall attempt
to rival them in tricks truly unprncpled and shame
less.

to reply to him. but leave him to the contempt which he
merits We desire better compmentthan the abuse Of
such fellow; and if be were Of any importance, we
should fear no worse misfortune than his praise.

and desperate some OF its conductors
