Our columns will be open to the labor
unionists, as they ever have been open and as
they ever will be open to any body Of men
who seek to put down the oppressor or to
| annihilate wrong. We shall watch the Labor
Union as we watch all other organizations, as,
indeed, we watch all the world. When the
Labor Union does well we shall praise; when
it does not well we shall blame. Meanwhile
we wish all success to every cause that seeks
the right and does the same.

We yesterday received by the Atlantic cable
from London the following precious de-
spatch =
LONDON, Feb. q, 1870.
of an editorial Article from the New YORK times Of
January ~, ana comments approyingly on the iat-
ters assertion that American credit is dying In
Europe because ruflians say it ut home
We give the above, it will be seen, an un-
usual place for advertisements in the columns
Of the HERALD. We do this with full appre-
citation of the charity we SO kindly bestow
upon well deserving but rather feeble con-
temporary. 1t is pleasant, you know, to help
the weary and the distressed. Therefore, while
we reflect upon the fact that the New York
Times is or was owned in part by the agent
Of the New York Associated Press, and, fur
thermore, that the. Associated Press cable
agent in London was once an attachG Of
the New York Times, we feel more than
rejoiced in having this opportunity to display
an instance Of our exemplary philanthropy.
The HERALD does not ask for itself any such
style of advertisement. 1t paid for Atlantic
cable dispatches in the beginning Of the enter
prise more than all the New York or all the
American newspapers put together. Yet, being
in an association wherein interests are supposed
to be identical or held in common, we may be
permitted to inquire why cannot this same
Associated Press afford to send, at an expense
say of twenty or thirty dollars in gold per day,
. cable despatch putting up some other MEM
Der of the Associated Press? Now there is our
philosophizing neighbor of the Tribune.
Why don't the agents of the Associated Press
in London and this city give the Tribune a
lift by oable9 We will not pretend to say
what will be most interesting or most bene-
fetal to that journal; yet we venture to pre-
dict that the fact that an essay about the
tariff on wool or pig iron, or upon the pro-
pagation Of strawberries or the incubation OF
| squashes, if announced by cable as publishe ed
l in the London Star or London Post, or any
other cockney journal, will be hailed with
| huge satisfaction by our pond lily featured

| Then there is our other friend and enjoyer OF
| the benefits of this benign association-the
effulgent and exuberant Sun. Let the agent
Of the Associated Press send by cable
a despatch that won't cost more than
thirty dollars in gold, announcing that
the London On! has copied an extract
from the Sun announcing that the genial
editor has concluded upon having Mr.. Daniel
Drew, or Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, or Mr.
George Law, or Mr.. Reddy the Blacksmith the
| next President of the United States. That
would be very nice advertisement, and would
undoubtedly be handsomely appreciated.
Then there is our copperhead contemporary
that does up the election returns so truthfnlly
| and 80 capitally. It would make the jaws of a
| CossacH of the Ukraine crack if he could see a
cable despatch announcing that these mathe-
matical hallucinations had been copied into
the tyooridischski K1apperdomg, the private
| organ of Alexander H., the Emperor of all
the Russias. Our venerable coadjutor of the
Journal Of Commerce ought also to come in
for a first rate notice by cable. It might be
i oLoJ oy,J bro JssI IL -
wriggle in glee by some happy reference to a
Dutch importation or any other solidarity in
that line. And now, having passed through
most of the list of contributors to the support
of the cable Associated Press, we modestly
suggest that the HERALD may be allowed to
have its turn. Knowing very well that it can
] pay for what it seeks, it would be pleas
| ing for the HERALD to know that while its
companions in associated cable publicity are
not neglected, it may itself, some time or
other, come in for small share Of the benefits
Of this newly invented style Of india rubber
advertising by Atlantic cable.
