Of the Jo0sSAt steadily remained ct least
four times as large, as its own, while all
Kinds Of lon work and book binding,
aowea into The JpuRNAl Office from Ken
tucky and Tennssse, as had never been
witnessed since it became a first
class printing establishment. We I'M
derstood this. We knew it was not be-
cause the JOURNAL entertained peculiar
political opinions, and advocated them
manly and openly, according to it's abil-
ity, that We were favored with Kentucky
patronage, but because we did the
work promptly neatly and cheaply, it
poured in upon us. We did nctregard
our large circulation on the packets,
when scarcely Courier was to be found,
(and we invite our merchants to examine
into the correctness of this statement,)
as an evidence Of an endorsement ofour
political opinions, but rather the mani
festation of desire to secure the latest
and most reliable news, uacontaminated
BY filth and indecency. All these facts
operating upon the brain of the astute
and responsible" editor Of the C0at-
rier soon convinced even him, that some
thing must be done. 1t was just here
be began FIRST TO comprehend that inde-
cency and treason was not so acceptable
to the Southern people as he imagined,
and that those merchants who had con-
Guided that because paper was rebel
in politics and filthy in expression,
it must have large circulation in the
South, not only slandered the Southern
people, but had egregiously fooled away
their money, in inserting advertisements
In The columns Of the Courier.
Under this deplorable condition of
affairs, as we said before, something
"had to be did" Head work, Sir, head
work. Accordingly, we Immediately hear
that an arrangement has been entered
Into with the Louisville papers for
special dispatches, and great flourish
10 made over manifest fraud. In ad.
4 diti9n, secret circular is sent to we'll
known advertisers oil over the country
announcing that the Courier has an ex-
tsnsive circulation in Kentucky, Ten
lnessee, North Mississippi and Alabama,
and other Southern States, and, in con-
sequence, was an invaluable medium
through which to reach the merchants
of those sections. We need hardly say
to our people, for they must have dis,
cerned the fact already, that the Court
ers pretended special dispatches come
through the mails, much as it abuses
our Union postmaster. Not scord Of
/ them has ever come oUsr the tele-
graph wfre. The whole thing is a
fraud, a cheat--something with which to
deceive the business part Of the commu-
nifty. Nor need we say to those mer-
chants, who take some pains to ascertain
the character and circulation of papers
before inserting advertisements, that the
large Southern circulation OF the COur-
Ter is as NEUROLOGICAL as its Special Dis
patches. A visit to the Post Office and
our regular steamboat packets will sat-
isfy them on this point.
Again, (for we propose, now We have
our hand in, to take the thing pretty
we'll to pieces) with all its pretended
sympathy for working men and mechan-
les, it displaces jourpeymen with boys,
becauseit can compel them to work for
ten or fifteen cents less per thousand
ems. Journeyman have specific appel
lations for such proceedings which we
leave them to apply. t'.H T
In conclusion, we suggest to the Cour-
ieT proprietors that they had better pay
their boys their hard.earned wages every
Saturday night, inasmuch as they
have need of the little money allow
ed them. We suggest, further, that
they relieve the anxiety of those
holding unpaid bills, and publish
more respectable paper before they
attempt to domineer 30 extensively and
impudently.. With these moral reAec.
tons We cast them aside, at least for the
present.
