Road on this plan We believe it could be
made to pay good dividends.
u The Ne,c- York Times lately saw fit to
issue new Prospectus and cause it to be eI'
teusively advertised in other columns than its
own, as was wise and proper. 1t saw fit to
embody in that Prospectus the commenda-
tons of sundry contemporaries, several of which
advised if not urged their readers TO stop The
TrI5xne and take The Times instead. This
seemed to us not only an unusual but rather
exceptionable departure from business comfy
quite as much as if one of our leading mer-
camille firms were to advertise rival firm as
selling flimsy and dear fabrics and urge the Gus
toners to buy at their counter instead, as they
could there DO much better. So thinking, we
so said. The Times acknowledges the corn
SAYS We are "not far from right on the point
of propriety," promises amendment, and pro-
ceeds to assail us for the criticism while add
hitting it's justice 1t pleads haste and heed
lessness as an excuse for its dscourtesy-
but is the excuse valid This Prospectus was
prepared TO be extensively advertised; it APP
peared last Wednesday or Thursday in our
Citys three great Religious journals of
Calvinistic faith, and was thereby con-
ro-ol .o M. lass than Half Million RAD
ers of Orthodox belief, including not less than
Ten thousand Clergymen, all of whom were
directly melted therein TO discOuntenance The
Tribune on grounds of Faith and patronize
The Times instead. Does any man believe that
this recommendation was carelessly or thought
lessly inserted in The Illness Prospectus or
that the drawing away of our Orthodox SUBJ
scribers to swell its own list was not the direct
and express intent of such advertisement
And this advertisement through the great Or
thodox journals was made three days before it
was ressued through the Sunday papers
Consider the facts, and Judge if The Illness
excuse does not confront them.
We cannot find room for an sllusion to all
the items of misrepresentation and abuse
wherewith The Times resents our exposure OF
its attack on our subscription list whereof it
confesses the improperly but here are few
of them.
/. We are accused of printing q fabricated
report of the tremendous battle and Russian
slaughter in Eastern Europe"-meaning, in
the Caucasus. Now that publication appear
ed in The Daily Tribune of December
Doth, and on the 9th, Gust week after
ward we printed from The Trieste Gazette a
paragraph confirming our statement in every
particular. The same news appeared in Vienna
papers of corresponding date, and in the lead
ing journals of LOndon-all based Gas was
ours) on private advces from Constantinople-
ours differing from the others only in being in
advance of them, so as not to reach this country
in print till the week after our correspondents
letter. Wepresume they were all substan-
italy true, though reliable accounts in detail of
the incidents Of the warfare in the Caucasus
seldom reach US. At all events, our CORES
pOndent's statement, avOwedly based On pri-
yate information from Constantinople, stands
fully justified.
g The Times sees fit to remark that it rides
none of The Tribune's hobbies" has dome
its best to steer clear Of The Tribunes strong
points," &c. &c. 1t did not need this to
make it evident to all that the two journals
are widely different in character and aims
Yet whoever has read even the original Pro-
spectus Of The Times must be aware that it has
from the first sought to appropriate all that was
popular in The Tribune's character, avoiding
only what was unpopular.
The outset of The Times was radiant with
promise Of aid, at least to moral reforms. We
ask the friends Of the Anti-Slavery, Tempe
rance and other Reform movements as yet in
advance Of public sentiment, how this promise
has been fulflledl Where has that paper
eyinced willingness to serve the cause of Re-
form in defiance of its own interests 1t boasts
Gifts opposition to the WOmens Rights move
ment, TO Negro agitation, to Spiritual Rap
pings, and to Social reconstruction-in all which
it has sailed directly with the current making
straight to the desired haven of patronage and
profit; why has it not been equally open in its
hostility to the Maine Law
3. The Times asserts that we have minated
that in the direction of sympathy with the
novelties above indicated "lie $4,000 sub
scribers and uncounted returns Of reputation
and gold" Now, not only is it untrue that
The Tribune ever intimated the like of this,
but We affirm that there has never been mo.
ment wherein We did not knop that our course
on these topics has been directly and seriously
