New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1861-12-09

We ask our readers and the business public
to look well ct the above expose. The Herald
has steadily pursued from the outset the game
of absorbing all the advertising of our City bV
persi-tent and monstrous lying. So long rs this
was confined to doubling and trebling ITS o'o"
circulation, we bore it in silence, though 1t was
deprivipg us by fraud Of patronage that we
needed and were fairly entitled to. Thousands
who know, in general way. that The Herald
/, utterly unprincipled and mendacious, do not
realize that its continual boasts Of circulating
more copies daily than all the other journals of
our city. more than any three other papers,
&C., &C., are conscious, shameless frauds, oe-
liberately perpetrated with intent TO steal its
neighbors' business. But when, emboldened by
IMMUNITY. The Satanic proceeded to assert.
among a hundred kindred lies, that The TRID.
UsE "haring lost all its O~n subscribers, n
obliged to appeal to The Heraids readers" &C.,
&c., Gan appeal which We had never made, nor
thought Of makins), We felt constrained to offer
nal. respectively to the most searching SCRUTINY
and to have the result advertised 10 the
fullest manner-we to pay the entire expense
of such advertising and give $3.50 to our City
Association for Improving the Condition OF the
Poor and $3.50 more for the relief and com
fort of our sick and wounded soldiers in the
hospitals at Washington, in case the circula-
ton of The TRIBUNE were not proved to ex-
coed that Of The Herald BY more than Fifty
thousand copies; Tie Herald to do the same
in case our circulation does exceed its own
by more than Fifty Thousand In short, we
mnde The Herald just such an offer as it made us
in lS4S, only that then ii proposed to prove its
circulation greater than ours, while we now
agree to be beaten and pay the forfeits if our
circulation is not tho greater by orr Fifty
thousand. From this challenge The Herald
sneahs off, under the pretense that it I" never
g. BETS" considers betting immoral" &C.,
&C., though it was ready enough not only to
{" bet" but to challenged us to do 50, when it
supposed its circulation tho larger. We sub
NIT that the morality which constrains it to
withhold it's mite from the relief Of our Poor
at this harsh season and of our wounded and
suffering soldiers on the Potomac has broken
out so suddenly that it ia not likely to be en-
duIing.
lu lS4S, we we're beaten by gross fraud.
The PRESIDENTIAL Hra,d," by the help of
which our circulation WAS Outnumbcred, was
an abortive project which had obtained no
subscribers, and had died very natural death
before the scrutiny above recorded But Mr.. T
Wilson, our referee in the premises was com.
PEELED to respect the statements of The Heraids
employee. that they did print $50 copies of
Presidential Herald, az had been the case; but 4
nobody wanted or would take it, and it was
never heard of thereafter. We should expect
10 be cheated some on fresh scrutiny; but
BUR circulation exceeds The Htraid's by 30
much more than Fifty Thousand that we can
'tand a swindle of Ten Thousand, and still
compel the old reprobate to do more at one
lash for noble charities than he has yet done
n oil bis long and ill-spent life. Right well
Toes he know this; hence his horror of betting.
We might overcome that spasm of virtue in an
our by offering to prove our circulation One
hundred Thousand more than his; but we
hOose to hold him just whore We have him,

erlngs. Ladies and gentlemen! walk up and
