New-York daily tribune., 1851-10-02


National Democrqt--yesterday, was devoted TO the
subject of frauds alleged to be perpetraed by GER
tain Coal-dealers of this City. No names or locali-
ties are given, but after stating that its information
is reliable and asking the District Attorney to take
the onus Of making the charges and cOnyicting the
"robbers,' 1t saws
Don't suppose for a moment that we exaggerate
though The Tribune has stated that there is no oun-
datlOn for these assertions
This statement is entirely untrue The Tribune has
never said, nor intima;ed any such thing. When
the charges of false weight were first made by sun
day paper, we reminded the writer that If what he
stated was true he ought to prove II prosecuting
or causing the prosecution of the guilty parties We
hold that such irresponsible iInuendOs are an unpro
voked libel and injury to all honest Coal-dealers
the rascals OF the sort described should be named,
so that the disgrace of the act might rest where 1t
belonged. VIII The Democrat have the justice to
correct its mis-statement in regard to The Tribune,
and the honor to excupate upright dealers from its
whole sale charges
