The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1867-04-18

- We have cotemporary to deal with
who for wiliful lying surpasses anything
on the face Of the earth. This little
sheet across the way, constantly circu-
lates falsehoods about the TRIBUNE, which
are really astonishing. In its issue of the
18th inst, we find the following:
+" ENTERPRISE. is sent forth
from this village Il thing, mere retailer
of radical connrtls, but which pretends to
ne ne,ospapcr published in the English
language. This thing went to press last
week without one one word in its columns
III regard to the great and glorious tri-
uInph Of the Democracy in Connecticut "
Don be so fast. The news of the
Connecticut election was received on
Thursday forenoon the 4til inst, and the
TRIBUNE OF the same date, and one day
tefo'e ITS {yii'g cotenqoorory, published
under the heading of News Summary,
the following item:
"The Democracy Of Connecticut have
carried the state by 100 minority and
elected three out of four Congressmen.
The Legislature is republican.
And just see the impudence and mean
ness displayed by the sheet in question.
In the very issue it charges the TRIBUNE
with neglecting to publish the news from
Connecticut. not one word can be found
about the Rhode Island election, the re-
suit of which was known at least three
days before the paper was issued But
the news from Rhode Island was of diff
ferent character. 1t did not suit the taste
of this traducer and hence it seeks to
keep its readers in ignorance about it.
Now how often must we convict this ly-
ing sheet before it will stop. its hellish
work Have its editors enough manhood
left to retract, for once, falsehood? We
will see But the fact of it is, the only
enterprise this little sheet ever displays,
is in wholesale lying and using foul
epithets about its cotemporaries.

- The case Of S. NJ. Booth which has
excited considerable attention of late, has
been decided against the claimant. We
are not lawyer enough to judge of this
claim, but taking into consideration the
speech made by Mr. Booth in the Assem-
bly, mber-which now lies before us
we should say he did not deserve to have
his losses refunded. He was granted an
opportunity to present his claims before
the Legislature and instead of so doing,
he gave vent to most revolving TRADE
of abuse. not against the legislature. but
against the editors Of the Madison Jour
nal, Messrs Atwood & Rublee. Now
! these men are known all over the State
and highly respected for their strict integ-
rity, their morality and those exalted
principles which constitute the true gen
ileman They have 6een made the re-
cipients of costly presents, tokens of es-
TEEN from their neighbors and men in
their employ. They have literally grown
gray in the service. and does any one
suppose abuse from man who has COM
mitted a crime which is too indecent tt
publish here. can hurt them? We think
not Mr.. Booth is a man who has done
much good in the cause Of Freedom II
days gone by, but through his own mis-
guided action has lost his influence and
we hope for the common good of the
State, and above all for his own good. We
will hear no more of the slang which o.
| lat., he has debased himself by using.
