The talented and honest gentleman who
writes the "MIultum " articles in the Repub-
lican, after abusing Us lorg time in bad
prose. has al last added insult 10 injury
by lampoonng Us in siill worse rhyme As
a comparatively old publisher. speaking TO
two men younger than ourself in the business,
and just starting paper dependent upon its
own worth and the character they give il for
successive advise the publishers the Re
publican, 10 abstain from such abuse as they
have leveled upon Us, and which we have not
courted, and occupy the time devoted in this
manner, in endeavoring TO make their paper
,rorthy of public patronage. The very num-
Der Of the paper containing the rhyme about
Us. so miserably written and po'ntless as TO
turn the laugh upon the author, did not dis
play in lis columns an half hours editorial In
Dor. There was not half column Of orig
inal matter. with bad selections of stale news
We say not this TO inure the Republican,
hut merely 10 remind its publishers, that
when they speak of a contemporary rs if he
were failing in his duty TO the public, and
us il he did rot give that public such Il paper
as il had right to expect, tley should look
home, and at least make paper equal TO that
condemned before abusing it and It's editor
Like them, we might plead that much Of our
time is engaged in the mechanical and fnan-
cial departments OF our ollice-but we have
10 apology 10 make until in Indiana we find
paper displaying in lis columns more energy,
industry and experience, than the Evansville
Journal, and which is more faithful advo-
cate of everything appertaining to tie inter
ests of the city and region oil It's publication.
There is scarcely number Of the Daily
Journal but which displays more mental in
dusry than any three numbers of the Re-
publican-and in proof Of this, we ask any
person curious on TIE subject, to examine a
copy Of the Journal issued any day last week,
and then take up three nos. of the Repub-
can during the same week, and inquire in
to them-and yet not a day o. the week but
what we were more or less engaged in the
mechanical department of the office.
As to how valuable our services are 10 this
community, we shall not permit the con-
trollers Of an opposition paper 10 decide other
than for themselves. Ii is not TO be expected
their publicly expressed opinions will be free
from prejudice engendered by jealousy. But
the egotism will be pardoned, when we say.
that if public opinion on the subject of our in
dlvidual labors can be judged ofby anincreas-
irg patronage in every department of the
Journal. then public approval is ing stamp
ed upon ourseIf and paper And thu; we re-
ceive the applause OF persons in the distance
may be known from the fact, that at this time
we have two offers open for orr acceptance
llom publishers of prominent and lArge city
papers, and proposal and invitations from
certain citizens Of one the largest cities il
the West, each one of which far surpasses in
liberality that Gattering offer which brought
us TO Evansville, and for which. and the com
pliment contained in it, we have the muS
grateful feelings. That we have not consen
ted to take up with either OF these proposals
and that we will not unless agGrieved by oil
believed unwecome among any prominent
portion of our felow-cilizens here speak:
louder than words OF our full confidence in the
future greatness OF Evansville, and of The
promises OF prosperity held out in our owl
BUSINESS.
