A Hint.


The Delta, yesterday evening, in its notices
of ss the spirit of the morning press, includes
the Crescent We politely recommend to 1t not
to ID SO any more We look upon the Delta's
Esprit of the Morning Press" as mere string
of partisan insinuations against the whig press
and the policy of the majority controlling the
city government If it include the Crescent in
its convenient summary, we shall be compelled
to again request an answer to an awkward
question. The editor will consult his conve-
nierice, and enjoyment of good humor, by
leaving US out Of his catalogue. We generally
meet such insinuations as he habitually makes
by proposal to state awkward facts.
For instance: The editor says:
Now the truth is that is the only paper of large
circulation in the city that has never had thimbleui
establishment in the city and ordinary principles of
policy and it would not be unfair to the great mass
Of the people that matters of public moment should
pear in the paper which they all read.''
Well, we believe that Ss the truth is" that
tho Delta has not had any of the legitimate
ssspoils." 1t has had some others, which we
will be happy to state, if requested to do So
Again: &c We publish larger edition than
any other establishment in the city" Well,
what will you wager that your average circula-
ton per day, for one month, equals ours The
Crescent and the Picayune were the only papers
which dared compete, on affidavit, for the Post
office printing; why did not the Delta, if "aoe
publish larger edition than any other estab-
lishment in the city," enter into the competi-
ton, which we sought then and would seek
again Tomorrow Why does it quietly let the
Picayune carry off the Post-office printing
