Newspaper Rascality-The N O. Courier of
yesterday, in an extra edition, issued early in the
morning, asserted.
First, that Mr.. Freret had confessed to defeat
that was untrue.
Secondly it pretended that in the Wing or Freret
procession, there appeared, transparency bearing
the motto, "WE sTooP TO Conquer :" that was
untrue no such motto appeared on any transpa-
| rency.
Thirdly, it published as original magnificent
lyric which, some several years ago, appeared in
the newspapers of the country and which it falsely
pretended was written in reference to the local
canvass through which we have just passed. The
lyric is said to be the production of Of our most
| eminent poets-a worthy gentlemen, and no me-
chanic. The consciences Of the editors of the
Courier must certainly be made of gutta percha,
and will answer for any amount of wear and tear.
