newspaper called the Times exists Now, free to
admit much that ts said aeaiast the Times. II often

libel upon the London Times to mention II In the
breath with the rowdy leader OF public opinion IN New
York. We have toleraby wide acquaintance with
the newspapers OF England, and venture to say
that II would be doing an Injustice to the most scurrous
political publication we have seen in England to class
II with the NEW Yosw HERALD. No doubt English
paper writer's pretty free in their methcd OF treating
any estons upon which they think it desirable TO
state their views ard they have certainly exercised their
right OF untrammelcd discussion with respect to Ameri
