The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-10-14
The Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

This paper for several weeks past has been
indulging in the lowest slang, and abuse Of
the Editor Of the Organ. His private
characterhas been assailed, and all his fam
lily relations have been dragged before the
public. His motives and conduct have
ben attacked, with a zsal worthy Of a bet.

The Editor of the Organ has deemed all
these malicious assaults upon him ns un-
worthy Of even passing notice, and hence
has uniformly remained silent. ''''l' p

ever Of praise he may merit for any thing of
good he may have done, or whatever of
censule he may deserve for his bameworthy
walk and conversation will be accorded 70
him by those who know him best.
As Editor 9 have always made It a rule
to avoid all personal attacks, preferring to
vIndicate the great cause which we have
esponsed, and to advance which we have la
bored the best period Of our manhood. We
do not say that we have not felt deeply
wronged by the course Of the Enqui,er, but
We have had more self respect than to notice
the calumnies and abuse Of any and all the
political presses who have deemed us wor-
thy OF their malice. A reputation which
Cdn be successfully assailed by political
party press. is unworthy of being preserved.
To those of our friends who censure us for
not descending from the advocacy Of great
moral reform, into the arena of political gla-
diatOrs, We would say that we have no taste
for such TencOuntres. II our good nane is
worth pre,erviug,it cannot be injured by the
vile hillingskste of our enemies, and
we should not hope TO come forth from such
conflict with any new laurels worth the
wearing. H. aH. .Ht

OF the offensive article In the Organ of
last week, which is attributed TO our author
ship, we knew nothing, until several days
after the issue Of the paper. We were alb
sent from home at the time, and had been
Tor some two weeks, publ ely discussing the
great subject of prohibition. Everybody
understands that we have no interest what
ever in the Organ: and whatever we wfite 10
furnished gratuItOusly to the Publisher. For
all articles from our pen We hold ,ourseH
personally responsible. w"
II, as Editor we shall do any person,
even our worst enemy, aLy wrong, we shall
most cheerfully make The 0Duende honorable!
We wish we could reasonably expect the
same cOurse from those who have rnalici us
ly and wantOnly traduced and abused us.
For the purity Of our motives We appeal to
the Great Searchsr Of hearts, before whose
unerring tribunal we expect to appear; and
for the reciitude Of our conduct We appeal
from corrupt parry press to the judgment
OF our counlrymen. >. +. CARY.
