The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-04-23

Nc5- The Ohio Cadet complains Of the pub
fishers of the Organ Of Temperance Reform,
for not exchanging after receiving from the
Cadet a friendly and favorable notice. We
gave themssa notice in our paper, and have been
treated in a similar manner. the "Organn is
in hourishng condition, has four or five thou
sand subscribers so that there can be no ex-
cuse for the spirit manilested-a spirit that Is
disgrace to the good cause in which It Is en-
gagged. The Gem has larger circulation than
many of the ''Organ's" exchanges, and our no
tice would be rs likely to benefit it rs notice
from almost any other paper. Ii men are un-
mindful of iavors in the days of their prosper
ity, they must expect but little sympathy when
the hour OF adve:sity arrives, an hour which
the "Organ" may yet see, Judging from its past
history. We did not notice it for the sake OF
an exchange, as we bave more papers now than
we can read, but the illberal spirit i what we
condtmn. Men will sometimes cry hard for
help, and afer they get it, forget the source. An
old fellow on e begged wool for a coat Some
one asked, you've got new coat, eh, Uncle
Dick 2m YES SAID he, "but no thanks TO
nobody."-Hygeia Gem.
After reading the above, one not acquain-
ted with us would naturally think that we
were possessed of the illiberal spirit charged
to us by the conductors of the Gem. A few
words of explanation from us, and diff
ferent opinion will be entertained, we hope
We would respectfully say to our worthy
Brother and co-laborer of the Cadet, that
his notice of the Organ was duly apprecia-
ted and acknowledged by us, and that we
returned the compliment by notice of the
Cadet, equally as flattering as that of the
Organ, and placed the Cadet on our ex.
change list. Unfortunately, however, by
an oversight, the paper was sent to Middle
town instead of Germantown. We hope
this explanation will be sufficient to restore
us to the good graces of our Brother of the
Cadet.
AS for the Gem, we did not see the notice
spoken of, and if the paper has been sent
us in exchange, we do not now recOllect to
have seen it. If we had, we would have
sent the Organ in exchange. We hope we
are not quite so parsimonious, even if our
paper is t,0iee as large, and appears toa'
times to the Gems once. We know what
the courtesy of the press is, and whenever
We faiA ia It's dS5s3 ssnae, we assO1re th
Gem it is not intentional.
In the absence of an explanation beini
asked, the structures of the editor or pub
Usher of the Gem is uncalled for, illiberal
unjust and ungentlemanly, and especial.
SO as there is no ostensible editor or pub
Usher of the Gem. We would respectful,
inform them that we publish the Organ 70
the good of the cause it advocates, and will
no intention or expectation of making mo
ney by the enterprise. The past history o
temperance publications forbid indulgenc
in such hopes. If we make both end
meet, we shall have done well, and bett'
than we expected at the commencement
We solicit, or urge if you please, the friend
of the cause to aid US by their patronage
with the full expectation of giving value r
eeiyed for every dollar sent US on subscrlI
tion. We do not forgeS our friends. Y
the day of publication, all of them are r.
membered--for all who patronise us receiV
their paper regularly Publisher.
