New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-02-13


OF all the contemplate and cowardly rascas that
infest society, there are none more cowardly nor
contemplate than the utterer and propagator Of
anonymous SANDERS, whether he circulates them
among scandamongers at home or writes them to
INSCRIPTIONS or infamous newspapers abroad Tue
wretched creature who thus attempts to stab repu-
tatons in the dark Is capable of any baseness, and
must always be regarded with dislike and distrust
wherever he is best known. The Orient has type
of perfect treachery in the murderous Thug (not the
mythical creation which fertile imaginations have
| located in New Oreans) and in civilized countries,
where newspapers are Published, we hare his baser
fellow in the slanderous newspaper correspondent,
who, under noname de plume, fashions his foul
calumnies and deals them out in real or fancied
security from punishment and then skulkf about
among those whose kicks and cuffs be has so well
deserved. The desperate, who lies in wait and
strikes his victim down from behind, is a brave and
honorable gentleman compared with him the vitriol
thrower, who ruins fine clothes unconscious peo-
pies backs out Of pure wantonness, is an amiabe,
high-minded and useful member of society by the
side of the anonymous defamer Of private and public
character. 1t seems to us, that if it were possible
for a character like this to have any very dear
friend, he would continually itch to murder bis
good name by some useless and infamous SANDER,
and verify believe that there creatures exist
ing in the shape Of men, from whose lying tongues
and pens there is no safety for the regulations
of their benefactors, their nearest kin and their
wives, if, unfortunately, they have any.
| These remarks have been suggested by letter
signed "BANqUo,p written in this city and published
in the Yicksburg Sun and Sentinel. The writer is,
we presume, the same individual who has long vented
his impotent malice against people of this city in
very filthy and indecent language and bad grammar
through the columns OF the New York Police Gazette
and the Life in Boston-papers whose names we
| print in our columns with reluctance However that
be, he hides himself under the same mask and uses
language whit less indecent and yituperave, and
10th to believe there be two persons Of
such vile and mendaeious propenstes, we take it
| for granted he is the same. We congratulate the
Sun and Sentinel upon its good fortune in having
secured the services of correspondent who thus
adorns its columns with the most unheard-of false
hoods, that novel from their very enormity and
originality and with blackguardism that can be heard
nowhere but in the precincts with which he charges
others with being 50 familiar
His beastly abreations in the two dirty and notori
Gus Northern prints have always passed unheeded
here, as far below contempt, and he would not
obtain this notice at hands but that his caumnies
have found their way into newspaper that claims
to be respectable and is acknowledged to be so, we
believe, where it is published. Were he known
here, his punishment would be nothing of the kind
usually considered appropriate to decent person
who has grossly offended il would be more in the
nature OF that which should be inflicted upon a dog
detected at some uncommony mean and dirty trick.
He would undoubtedly be put through a regular
course of the most unmitigated sprouts, and would
obtain sundry and striking ideas of life in New
| Orleans he would be kicked, caned, cufed, cowhided
and cleansed in the cutters thoroughly, we promise
him. We congratulate him upon his discretion in
remaining ncognito, for in case his identity should
chance to be made known, he would shortly become
!" man Of sorrows and acquainted with grief = be
would be converted into public whipping post, and
would soon find his back a sore subject, unless
indeed it has already become eicatrized aud caous
from former castigations.
Seriously, we surprised TO see published in a
Vicksburg paper the senseess and stupid lies of this
person--we cannot call him man-who, whatever
his name, must be miserable fellow. He makes the
most sweeping unfonnded and unsupported charges
against the whole body Of our police, and against
individual members of it he accuses, by name men
of the highest standing and responsibility, in office
and out Of Office of the most Infamous crimes and of
completely with criminals and he speaks of New
Orleans generally in a manner intended to convey the
impression that it is nothing better than den of
Gals, thieves and mnrderers. out of sefrespect, if
for other reason the Sun and Sentinel should have
refused to publish such a disgusting potpogri of cal
umny, falsehood and backguardism.
