be tried alone

The advocates of slave breeding and the slave
trade are wont to express great sensitiveness and
anxiety in view of propensity which they some
times discover 10 THE TRIBUNE to take cognizance
of matters which interest the nation at large
Many are the earnest and even vehement appeals
which have been addressed to us urging upon oac
reason our COINCIDENCE, and our fear Of punishment
the duty of combining our attention strictly to the
local affairs of this metropolis alone, or at the
utmost of this State. Here are vice enough, aud
crime enough, and ignorance enough, and inhu-
mainly enough, we are told; and when we have
reformed all these and converted New-YOrk into
paradise of cleanliness and virtue, then and not
till then it will be proper to raise note OF coz
demnaton and Of warning against the chvalrous
trafickers in their own cons and daughters, the
whippers of women the pillars of public igno-
rance, and the breakers Of public faith, who seek
to reverse the course of history and convert the
hope of humanity into the bulwark OF despotlsm
and the despair Of the world.
Precisely the same sort of disiuterested counsel
we have also been accustomed from time to time
to receive at the hands of that corrupt cOrrupting
and Infamous monopoly which has bought and
owns the DejghboriDg State OF Camden and AnboY.
Its purchased Orgaps never fail to seize upon the
report of any thing wrong in this State or this City
especially if they find it, as they rarely fail to do
un,parinely commented upon in our columns-snd
to make it the text of the same argumentum ad
LOminezn in which, as we have said, the slave
breeders and slavetraders so Daively confess the
desperation Of their cause New York is not perie;s
ard therefore let this meddlesome and impertinent
TRIBUNE confne its censorship to NewYOrk
Such is their familiar style OF apology for facts
which not only keep New-Jersey in condition of
stsgpation and decay as compared with the sur
rounding Statef, but which brand her people with
the shame of individual venality snd collective
stupidity Such is the facile and flimsy response
for the exhibition of which they lsboriously seek
ard greedy clutch every occasion. There is
nothing in it new or surprising, but we must con-
fess to some astoDishment at finding 1t cOnspicu-
pusy adopted by The State Gazette journal which
we have hitherto regarded with confidence as not
only an able but an incorruptbe antagonist OF the
monopoly. Things change, however, especially in
communities ruled by moneyed olgarchy and
now ne find our Contemporary ready to echo the
voice of the basest tool Of the monopoly. ave

nents of ours on the revelations made at the trial
of Judge Stuart, Z" We trust that THE TRIBUNE

great center of denominations, in the atmosphere

Had this stale fling proceeded from any but
new organ of the monopoly, or from one that had
not hitherto sustained reputation for honesty
We should not have noticed is and ia the present
case we refer TO the subject quite as much in the
desire to elicit from The State Gazette some salts
factory disclaimer and explanation as with view
to controvert and correct its positions We eau
not but hope that that journal has 1t surrendered
its birtbright for any consideration that the mo-
nopoly may have had to offer, and that its ad
hereDce 70 so dishonorsble cause is accidental
and apparent merely. However as the topic has
been referred to, il may not be improper TO add
few words touching the position which this jour
nal aims to bold and the breadth Of anmadsersicn
which il habtualy exercises
In the frat plsce, it should be remembered that
The TRIBUNE is not a sheet published in some OBJ
scure village. and addressed exclusively 10 loc.l
interests Existing in the commercial metropolis
of the continent and sfording the vehicle
