FABRICATION.


be dragged nor bullied into another OF those
per,onaI controversies By which the American
Press has long enough suffered itself 70 DO de-
graded. We propose to 90 forward In our
own path and do our own work, leaving others
free TO take such course as TO them shall seem
good If the community hss special relish
for Editorial bl,ckguardism, there are abundant
sources from which that appetite may be glut-
ted; but wa shalf not minister TO it. II We
see anything in another Journal which seems to
us TO require exposure, refutshon, or rebuse,
we shaIl discuss its merits with the erring
Journal, but have nothing to do with the ind-
yidual. who may conduct or contribute to that
journal. We haze aforetme allowed personall-
ties 10 provoke retorts in kind; but We shall
hereafter repel assaults, when We deem them
worth noticing at all, without slusiOn to the
persons who impelled or indicted them.
The Herald of yesterday contained one OF
tbo,e ridiculous demonstrations IN which inst
iouronl delights, and which no one can regard
mora lightly than their author, purPoTtins t.
show that the Editor Of THE TRIBUNE haa
something to do with contract for supplying
tho Government with arms, when there 10 mol
the inintcst warrant for this 10 the dispatches
and scraps which have been pieced together 10
gi,e some color to tho story. All Ihs ioundS-
lion for It "a: the false assertion that MI.

ia an utter fabrication. A Mr. Almy has occs-
,ioDally written q Dry Goods Report for this pa
per- and been paid therefor, aud that ID all the
connection be hrs, or ever had, with TnE TRiB-
IUSE. The Nsraid's cool assertion That Poor
% Greeley held doubtless the honorary but ala
" honorable Office of President OF said Arms
company, is o fabrication 30 gross that its au'
thor would .h!nk any man Il ioVi who should
even pretend 70 believe H. SO with The
