Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1857-01-12

The Transcript of Friday comes out in a
tissue of misrepresentation occupying nearly
column, in relation to the Spy. We can
make better use of what room we have, than
to notice it in detail. We shall confine our.
selves to two or three particulars, merely as
specimens Of the whole. In the first place,
then, we have the declarations OF the Mayor
and Of Alderman White, that Pangborn
agreed, when he took the manuscript of the
Mayors Addrsss, to furnish the other papers
with slips, so as 10 place the press on equal
terms. Such was the word which our re-
porter brought back when We applied for the
copy and the truth of this statement is con-
frmed by the fact, that Pangborn did send
slips to this Office, taking care, however, that
it should be at so late an hour that we could
not use them, till the Transcript had inundat-
cd the city with copies Of the address.
But We have the evidence of the Trans
scripts intention TO felsify in the matter in a
foim, from which it cannot escape, and which
must satisfy every one of the wilful intent.
The Transcript, in its article of Friday, says
''aAlthough the Spy sneers at Mayor Rich.
ardson's Address, saying we dill not mean
TO fiji our columns with document of that
description yet it is PLAN enough that our
beating them made them sore headed"
To show the wilful perversion and fals6ca-
ton OF our language, in this extract. it is nee
esssry only 10. republish what we did say.
After stating that il had been our iAtention TO
publish the inaugural al length, but that, when
the copy was furnished US, the Transcript al
ready had it in type, aud would issue it in an
e1tra, in shout an hour, we added
"'we would not, of course, publish it 81
multapeously with them. fthe Transcript

Here it will be seen that the meaning Of
what we said was entirely changed, by omit.

the word. mean, and inserting what was
quoted from what followed. 1t will be seen
that there is no sneer ct the address, but sim
ply reason given for not wishing to publish
"a document Of that DESCRIPTION being
