The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1851-10-24

Our very interesting anti-m asOnic and aboliti IN
contemporary, the Albany Erer,,ng Journal, and our
very amable contemporary the Journal Of Com.
muce, are engaged in the delightful and refreshing
occupation of abusing each other through their
respective columns, and bespattering each other
with the blacklist kind of filthy mud. Thus far we
think the Evening Journal has the advantage, for
its bingsga is of the most recherche description,
and such as to convince its unfortunate readers
that that paper has reached low depth of sour
rilty and vulgarity. In its issue of Monday last,
it INDUCED in epi,hets of the worst and most dis
graceful description towards the Journal Of Com
macs. In commenting upon some remarks made
by the latter paper, it used the following language
"Piratical Sheet" "wilful and unblushing false
hood" "wilfuly false" 'infamously treacherous''
"rascally purposes of the Journal Of Commerce"
One would suppose, from these samples of the Epe-
ning Journals eloquence, force, and strength, that
Thurlow Weed had taken into his employ the
ponsbe editor of the Freeans Journal in thi, city,
apaper which, according to circumstances, and &C
cording to the character of the articles that appeal
in its columns ii is iDtm ated is or is not the organ
Of his Grace, Archbishop Hughes, who, when he was
in Europe was honored with fish from his Holiness
the Pope's own table. That fish, no doubt,
fine and well favored but, while his Grace might be
envied in the meal which he made of it, We hardly
think any one will be disposed to envy him in having
for an organist the erudte gentleman we refer to.
Thurlow Weed" the best whig in Albany
is evidently laboripg under indigestion, and per-
laps is more deserving Of pity than condem-
nation for the ungentlemanly language in which
be INDUCES with so much zest. But, as IN rino
r0iias, it ia not unlikely that Thurlow exhibits
himself in truthful colors when dyspeptie and
ra.cible.
This quarrel, which is a very pretty one as it
stands, between these two journals, was provoked
by some rem arks made by the New York paper in
connection with the subject of anti rentism and the
aAtirsnters In our opinion, think the least that
is said about the matter the better The gentlemen
in calico who paid their rents by shooting down
sherifs, and took receipt in full by tarring and
gathering oonstables, are by their own act dead
and not only Dead but buried too To be sure, they
met in convention at Albany, and adopted the demo-
cratic nomna tons, which they promised to support
athe next election in this state but after reading
their proceedings, any one with half eye can see
that they dissolved themselves into their original es
ments, and that they will vote, no. anti renters,
but as wings and democrats, when the time arrives
for them to do SO. They, no doubt, discovered,
and it was full time for them to DO so, that they
were used ana deceived by both of the old parties
for their purposes, and that after spending
money than their rents amounted TO, in election
purposes, they were no better of than they ever
we're; that the eonsciences Of men were not at all
changed respecting the inyiolablty of contracts,
and that they could not change leasehold property
into fee simple, by the ballot box, which, although
very potent as general thing, will not, like GER
tain 9uack medicines, work miracles and cure con-
sumption as well as a pain in the great toe. In
word, the ant enters in our opinion have come to
their senses, and the only remedy that is left to
them for the grievaaces Of which they complain, is
TO purchase the land they cultivate, on the very
liberal terms proposed by the real owners. One
thing is certain, think, and that is, they have
abandoned their organization as political party
ana henceforth will vote as tsey did previously to
the breaking out Of the anti-rent excitement.
Under these circumstances, therefore, We are
decidedly Of opinion tia. the papers referred to
had better their powder, or rather their mud,
for another day, and another subject. The Fec
ning Journal is bringing journalism la this country
into disrepute by its vulgarity and besstliness.
