New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-10-03
Unfair, If not Worse.

It is well settled principle of law that the receiver
of stolen goods is bad as the thief And it is also
clearly understood in the moral world that al omis-
sion in statement, when calculated to deceive, de-
lude and accomplish sinister, or any other purpose
not warranted by the tenor and obvious meaning of
that statement is just obnoxious to honest censure
as is the commission of deliberate perversion of TRUTH
We take it that neither of these propositions will be
controverted.
In the Mobile Register, of the LIST inst, we find the
following article, which we copy entire:

We distinctly assert that the foregoing neither tells
the TRUTH does justice to the Crescent nor to the
"crowds' referred toby the Cresccnt-those 'crowds'
being composed of as Intelligent and patriotic men as
the sun of the Union ever shone upon.
Now, what did the Crescent say? We shall proceed
to show by producing the achoe of the paragraph
treated with such glaring injustice by the Mobile
Register. In the Crescent of the 18th ut, speaking
of what We styled "a Pleasing Incident; that oc-
CURED during the eloquent speech Of Capt Chas. D.
Drepx at Odd Fellows Hall the previous Saturday
evening, we remarked;
The orator had been casually referring dson and its in

In Justice to ourselves and the public we have placed
what we did say and what the Mobile Register rep
resents VIC sad close together, that our readers
may experience no difficulty in coming to proper
conclusion in the premises Further than this we have
no comments to offer. Neither ourselves nor our
cause can be injured by such dsingenuous practices
