Mr.. Dlctch,s Card.

Mr.. Dietch, of the Reform, has published
long card in his own paper and the Enquirer
relative to a charge we made against him
He might have secured still larger CIR
culation for his folly, if he had applied to
US; and as it is, we voluntarily help him along.
He commences very simply and absurdiy by
saying .'the Journal Of yesterday effuses Its
long restrained anger upon our guilty head,
and opens a volley Of abusive accusations
against the Reform" Now, we have no
anger against the editor of the Reform
We view with most PROFOUND contempt his
Measurements of our position on different SUBJ
iects, which mistatements we have marked,
but not publicly noticed. We told Mr.. d.
to his face last Saturday our private opinion
of his course towards us. The "voliey of abu-
sive accusations" against the Reform, to
which he alludes, was simply one charge,
that the "report" to which the Enquirer
alluded on Monday, that the sale Of coal was
to be a foreign affair, and no native born
citizens would be allowed to bid, &C., origi-
mated with the editor of the Reform. Mr..
/. d. denies having originated the report. II
he did not originate il, we can bear evidence
that he mouthed it once during the day
= and we heard of him q number of other
times os having spoken the same thing
We saw him three times 60 up to individuals
and commence Boosting it was the creates
anti.Know Nothing day he had ever seen, ant
conclude with declamations about what for
eigners had done. And we knop he boosted
to us at least, what we heard of him doing
repeatedly during the day, that foreigner
had bought nearly all the coal, and il wal
their intention to have purchased ALL
When it is considered that Mr.. d. was TIT
only man who made himself thus conspicu
Gus during the day, and the only man SO ia
as heard, who showed any inclination t
destroy the happy feeling prevailing on tn
occasion OF this coal celebration, establish
ing or drawing distinction between the nativ
born and the foreign born-we leave it t
the public to Judge, how far the responsible
ty Of such reports as that alluded to, ma
rest upon him. II he be not directly respon
sible for the orginaton of the report, h
! lent valuable aid in giving it currency, an
establishing that very Jealousy of feelin
calculated to make open ears and read
heartsto believe such reports. ~
We have nothing more to say on the sub
ject. If Mr.. Deitch considers his course o.
that day, either the policy of good Cit
zen, or commendable as an example, b.
has peculiar ideas which must belong exclu
sively to himself. We assure him the re
marks of the Journal have not been Gale
forth by any private feelings alone, but as
response to the outraged feelings Of others
who witnessed with objectionable indigna
ton his impudent interference and remark
last Saturday. He may write columns NOR
of explanations but he cannot throw the re
sponsibilty from his shoulders, of havin
acted the most consummate fool or knave.
