opposed and fought against, and win do SO to
the last, be the consequences what they may.
Wherever We see iniquty, we shall attack II, ex-
pose it, and destroy it-whether it exist in the ge-
neral government, in the municipal government OF
q city, in the selection Of candidates for Office, in
the pulpit, on the bench-no matter where 1t may
outstanding all demagogues, all disunionists,
and oil improper persons and principles, without
gloves; and we shall continue to do 80 as long as
We live, caring nothing whom such course may
offend, and trusting in the good sense and opinion
Of the virtuous and patriotic portion of the CON-
munity for the vindcation Of our motives. We
can inform the Courier and Enquirer that we feel
confident of breaking up and scattering to the four
winds of heaven all the cliques and coteries of abo
litionists, higher law politicians, and other dema-
gogues, who are united for the purpose of convert
ing this happy, growing and prosperous nation into
nest Of weak, jostling, and perhaps hostile COM
munities, like the States of Mexico, or the South
American rspubcs-its particular friend, VIM. II.
Seward, included. Knowing the seat OF the dis
ease, like skillfu physician we shall attack that
point, and not cry health, health, when there is no
health, and when the Courier and Enquirer can
not but know there is a canker eating away the
very vitals of the body polite. That journal may
seek to connect us with Thompson, the English
abolition missionary, as much as it pleases; but
what journal in New York, we would ask, was the
first to denounce him, and to rejoice at the recep
ton which he met with recently in Boston! Was
it the Courier and Enquirer? No; it was the NeU
York Herald.
If such has always been the course and policy of
the Neto York Herald, i. is clear that the Courier
and Enquirer has other motives and other reasons
for assaling this Journal than those which it men,
tons. What are they We can enlghten the
public in this matter. Our amiabe contemporary,
Col Webb, has witnessed with surprise and as
constituent the unexampled prosperity which has
attended this journal and the tremendous influence
which it eNrts in the United States and through
out the world. The ex-Minister has recently re-
turned from the continent of Europe, where he
spent year, and we venture 70 say that in every
place that he visited-no matter whether it was a
city, town, village or hamlet-he saw the Ntw
York Herald; while, in all probability, he did
not meet with his own journal in one out of twenty
of them. He sees in his exchanges that all the
leading journals OF Europe quote literally from the
Herald, and that the greatest newspaper in the
world is not ashamed to term it its "a able cotem-
porary," as the ex-Minister himself admits. We
diiuuc 10 the ISJHuOH fHttS' ilc that VIC
circulate ten thousands TO his hundreds; and that,
in comparatively short time, we have built up by
our enterprise, energy, tact, and ability, an estab-
lisbment, the fame of which has penetrated the
whole world, and the limit to which is common
surate only with the extent of civilization.
These are the motives-not very magnanimous,
as every one will admi,-which actuate the ex-
Minister in asslilng but for his satisfaction, we
him that his assaul!sare perfectly harmless,
and that if he has patience will be able to point
him TO a list of subscriptions, before ten years,
which will be as much greater than our present
one as that is 10 his. Let not hear again of such
absuIdities as the accusations of our diplomatic
neighbor against the Neio York Herald. They
pass all credulity. Better proclaim TO Wall street,
that the principal and interest of some 1000 were
paid over to the United States Bank in California
gold dust. God save the Union and the consttu-
ton
