Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1849-1856, 1852-07-22

New York Herald has lett no stone un-
turned to injuIe this place; its asser-
,ions have bcen..utterly destitute'ol truth,
and il has pursued course which is a
cha racteristic element Of that paper
The plain truth Of the matter is that
Bennett has a grudge, OF long standing.
and OF IA personal aud private nature,
against the Proprietors Of two Of our
principal hotels, and all without any
real foundation, and because, in both
cases, he was in the wrorg On this
account he has exer,ed his utmost ener-
gies to injure the place, and ITS summer
busines.. But il affords US mnch plea
sure to be able to say that he has been
entirely unsuccessful, Tor n, kind Of re-
lance has been placed upon his repre-
sentations. No one, in any matter, of
great or small importance, ever thinks OF
attaching any credit to what is stated in
the New York Herald, land none are
ever influenced, in the slightest degree,
by its assertions.
Newport was never more prosperous,
IN the summer business, than at the pre-
sent time there was never period,
thus early in the season, when the town
was so full Of visitors, and those, too, Of
the most desirable kind. A lurge nun-
ber Of the most respectable visitors now'
here, from various parts OF the country,
who have visited Newport for many
years past, are ready to attest TO this
fact, il there Was any occasion for it,
but there is none; the appearance OF
things here plainly substantiates all that
we have said, and the daily arrivals
which VT publish are mole numerous
than on any previous year. 1t should
be remembered that we only insert the
arrivals at the three principal hotels
there are other hotels and very many
private boarding houses, and full one
halt of the visitors at Newport are at
their own cottages,--so that only por-
ton of the arrivals come before the pub
lie in print. At Saratoga and most
other fashionable summer resorts, nearly
all the arrivals are ut the hotels ,--and
hence the difference in the published
lists.
IJThc late attack Of the New York
Times OF that most extraordinary wo-
man, Lola Montrz has called forth n
really mastery letter from her pen; "a
letter, all things considered, which but
few men OF strong minds could produce
We know nothing, in fact, OF the char
ac,er of Lola Montez; we have read the
thousand and one stories in regard 10
her which have been published in the
newspapers for several years past st,-but
upon these we place little or no reliance,
from the fact that newspapers are too
ready to denouncc and Iecry woman
who departs from the ordinary routine
of feminine regulations. We are not
approving OF Lola Mon,cz' conduct, or
culogizing her character, because we
now nothing of either, except what We
have heard from others. But she is lone
woman in the world-she is eccentric
and ,he has talent, wonderful TALENT
and we would be the last one TO do aught
TO push her down, or to endeavor to do
any thing which might injure her. A
man may do almost anything, and still
he is received in society, to Il certain ex-
tent and il It is said that he has re-
formed. he is restored and admitted to
mos, any position, where he may have
previously moved. But il is far differ
cnt with a woman; let her make
false step. or let her, even il she is per-
iecty virtuous in fact, maniies' extratr-
dinary independence Of character, she is
at once liable to suspicion, and when
there is doubt Of her virtue, she falls
in the estimation OF the great mass, and
she never RECEIVERS her position.
As we have before stated, We know
nothing Of the merits OF Lola Montcz.
and hence We would not denounce her,
especially IN wanton manner. A man
can take care OF himself but a woman
has not the same means Of detcnce,-
hence the .ame terms Of dcnunc iation
should not be employed. Lola Mon,ez
Injuries no one, and therefore she should
no, be injured, especially by uncalled
for attacks by the public press.
