~ THE Satanic Press

From the Poughkeepsie American, Sept 80
This is familiar phrase of the New York Tribune
whenever il allu9es TO the New YoRR HERALD. Now
we do not care to enter into comparison OF the re-
spective merits of the two prints Neither are
fautless. Each has its own interests to promote as
well as its own purposes to subserve The former Is
a partizan journal, bli.ded by prejudice. and un-
scrupulous il its assertion TO uphold the claims and
desires of those whose organ it assumes to be. Tbs
latter is an independent press independent of cliques
and cabals, and bold in its animadversions, hit
whomsoeyer they may.
We do not cav that the HERALD is always right.
YETI from its fcarlessness in the expression Of its
opinions-correct or incouect-it has secured a
large numb Of patrons and an immense number Of
readers. Ii has place on the files and tables OF
every reading room throughout the country. AS a
medium OF intelligence is prompt and reliable In
its conduct there is a large amount Of talent en-
gagged Its reports of the doings OF courts, political
asemblages, Of the national and State legislatures,
of movements in financial circles and the world Of
fashion, have ever been read with ayidi.y. On tho
whole, with all its faults, we believe the HERALD
has worked no EHle advantage to so,ety. 1t
has been bold in rs condemnation of error-tearess
In holding up to scorn and eXeeratlon men and
officials VINO have sought to live by robbing the
public. With upstairs and aristocTats it has never
affiliated: though it may have been unnecessarily
abusive of both. In its delireations of human
motive, passion. DESIRE and Character il has at times
been ininitable. II has shown men as they were
and from whence they sprung. 1t has shown that
the ancestors Of many who have figured in the opera
boN, anu all the pltapnernallR OF eXtrayagaxce,
were blacksmiths cobblers, and beings of the hum
bost spheres in life. For all these things the
HERALD bias earned for itself notoriety, a. the same
tine full e1chequer. 1t has secured permanent
foothold. and has an enduring basis.
The Tribune is also u print Of wide circulation

dissemination Of general intelligence: but its OPT

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Sir-Your journal Of the I'D instant publishes
m address by General Gonzales to the people ofthe
United States, and in an editorial, headed 'Revo.
dictionary Movements in Cuba" it is remarked that
in conjunction with this document you have pro.
cared list of tee sympathizers, Of rank and posi-
tion, in the Southern States, who supposed to be
thoroughly enlisted in the cause of Calm emanci
patton; and you aaa mat &c. subjoin a few of
the names of su'A psrs"s, which will serve to give
an idea OF the extent and Importance of the move
meat IN this country In the list of names pub
hshed, Mr.. Editor. my own appears; and although
discls}in any peculiar position rank in the
Eanity in which live, feel it due to myself and
TO my friends at distance, to state that with
General Gonzales have no acquaintance whatever,
although have met him in society; am aware
that among my associates and acquaintance, there
is . single one who ia, or has been in any way con-
serned IN any OF the revolutionary movements in
relation to Cuba, past present; and being myself
utterly opposed TO that spirit Of meddling in the
affairs Of other nations, either by the general GO
vernment or any portion Of the people, which seems
70 largely 70 prevail, am ii loss to imagine on
what authority so great and so upjustfable liber
ty has beer taken with my name. am compelled,
therefore, TO conclude (knowing as do many OF tie
gentlemen Of this State whose names are on your
iBt,) that the rames Of Others as well IS own,
have been use for the purpose only Of adding tenn
yorsry Importance TO of the POLITICAL hobbies Of
the cay, OF TO feed depraved public appetite for
any and everything that sayors Of the absurd and
the marvellous. But whatever the origin or motive,
/ beg leave to state, that far my name is Goa
eerned the statement is utterly false.
And now Mr. Editor, holding you not blame,ess
in thus heed!easly publishing the names of gentle
mes in connection with movement that SO greatly
involves their characters their feelings, and their
interestg and one Sc strongly condemned by yogr.
self, without better knowledge of them, have 20
