NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd)


very able and candid Whig paper, speaks of the new proprietors favorably and says that the STATESMAN will gain a higher reputation than it even now has.


"One thing is certain, the 'hards,' or 'barn burners' of the party, who have long looked to Col. Medary as the oracle of true Democracy, were taken by surprise by the sale, and feel the withdrawal of Medary to be a very serious party affliction in Ohio." (5)


1154 - H July 2; ed:3/1 - Good. - Robert M. Riddle, the Pittsburgh ex- Post Master under President Polk, is to become editor of the DAILY COMMERCIAL JOURNAL in that city, and he announces that it will be a "thorough going Whig Journal." We welcome Mr. R. back to the ranks editorial. (verbatim) (1)


1155 - H July 3:3/1 - Tomorrow no HERALD will be issued. - Printers are quite too patriotic to use office cannon and shooting sticks on the ever thrice "glorious Fourth." (verbatim) (1)


1156 - H July 8; ed:2/2 - The last number of the OHIO STATESMAN con- tains the "valedictory" of its editor, Colonel Medary. He commences his "valedictory" by saying that he voluntarily retires, but this assertion was not sufficient, and he again declares that this movement on his part is entirely voluntary. It seems that the colonel, instead of voluntarily retiring has been sacrificed because he was stubborn and advocated doc- trines which were radical. Just before the curtain drops, this "obstin- ate" editor, who assures us that he retires "voluntarily," turns round and exclaims: "Democrats of Ohio, of the Nation, my heart is with you in all its warmness and freshness; and because I have adopted this time of retiring to a more private position, believe none of the stories that my enemies may put in circulation in reference to the subject."


"Thus triumphantly and 'voluntarily' stepped out Col. Samuel Medary, and we are notified that his place will soon be supplied by Mr. Hazewell, of Massachusetts."


(3)


1157 - H July 10; ed:3/1 - The Democratic state editors' convention in Columbus on July 4 passed some distinctly selfish party resolutions on a day set aside for national celebration, and no mention was made in tribute of the occasion of our independence celebration. "We are not a little surprised to note that the Democratic Editors of the State are so absorbed in politics that in these 'piping times of peace' they cannot forego the subject for a single day, and that day the 4th of July - a day consecrated to country and not to party."


(4)


1158 - H July 12; ed: 3/1 - The Washington correspondent of the New York HERALD states that Henry E. Riell is going to start a paper in Washington to be sustained by, and for the purpose of sustaining, the old Democracy, or "old hunkers."


"The whole of the Blair & Rives influence in the House will go for Riell as printer, Blair & Rives giving way to Riell in the new paper pur- chased."

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd)


1159 - H July 18; ed:2/2 - Good Advice. - There are certain persons, whom it is unnecessary to mention, who will not find it a difficult matter to appropriate to themselves the following seasonable advice -


Calculatetobeblownskyhighifyoufingerthetypesinaprintingofficeortouch- anythingintheditor'ssanctum. (verbatim) (1)


1160 - H July 25; ed: 3/1 . We are under obligations to Captain Kelsey, of the CHESAPEAKE, for a supply of late Eastern papers this morning. (verbatim)


(1)


1161 - H July 26; ed: 2/2 - The OHIO STATESMAN of Wednesday announces the arrival of C. C. Hazewell, and that he will immediately assume the edi - torial charge of the paper. The editor pro. tem. announces with regret "that some of the subscribers to the STATESMAN are discontinuing their papers under the idea that the STATESMAN hereafter will advocate senti - ments which it has heretofore repudiated, and that it is to be devoted to the interests not of the Democratic party, but of a single individual of the party." These "tales" are positively contradicted, and the writer says that there will be no change in the principles the STATESMAN advo- cates.


"The Cassites of the party are drawing the wool over pretty adroitly, and notwithstanding 'discontinuances, ' we presume will do it successfully." (3)


1162 - H July 28; ed:2/1 - In his "salutatory," C. C. Hazewell, the new editor of The STATESMAN, official Ohio Democratic organ, says it is "the first duty of a Democratic editor, in these days, to give to the existing administration of the general government a firm and cordial support," and "that it will be time enough two years hence to talk about Mr. Polk's successor.'


This it is easy to see, therefore: "The STATESMAN is indeed in new hands .... It is also free from assaults on our State institutions, and we trust the organ of the Democratic party in Ohio will now exhibit less of the organ of destructiveness than has heretofore characterized it." (3)


1163 - H Aug. 2; ed: 3/1 - This is a moving world - today we part with our "grocery" and remove the HERALD offices to Nos. 7 and 8, second story of the Merchants' exchange, on Superior st. We leave "our grocery" with regret, recalling the heated debates and political discussions of Demos and Whigs when the political thermometer ran high; for our place has ever been a kind of neutral ground for all parties. Here everything was familiar - Chairs for a few, a table for some, a box for others, and a standee for many. The old round table, piled with exchanges, with its covering worn, bearing evidence of good whittling, will not be so becoming in our new quarters. However, it shall come with us, for it has served eight years.


We will miss our pressman, who for so long had faithfully pulled the "devil's tail" and run off our papers. He will be replaced by Younglove's power press, the most finished and perfect machine of its kind.


"Long will it be, ere we, or our friends, will feel as much at home in another 'grocery. '"

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd) 1164 - H Aug. 2; adv: 31 - Evening HERALD Removal. The Office of the Cleveland HERALD has been removed from the Central Buildings, to Nos. 7 and 8, Second Story, Merchants' Exchange, Superior st. (verbatim) (1)


1165 - H Aug. 6; ed: 2/1 - Letters From Europe. Bryant and Willis, two of our best American poets and prose writers, are now in Europe, and we think we cannot better entertain our readers during this dull season for news than to republish the letters as they appear from time to time in the N. Y. EVENING POST and N. Y. MIRROR. (verbatim) (1)


1166 - H Aug. 14; ed:2/1 - Ritchie's UNION endorses Hazewell, new editor of the OHIO STATESMAN and successor of Colonel Medary, and says that to equal Colonel Medary is to follow in his footsteps.


"How do the Democratic prints of Ohio . lately so loud in their denun- ciations of Medary, that his 'voluntary retirement' was a 'forced march' - (3)


relish Ritchie's advice?"


1167 - H Aug. 14; ed:3/1 - "The Editor" was seen snuffing the morning air on a jog trot towards Hudson, about six a.m. It is said he actually sports a neckerchief and a pair of gloves. As he is "out," of course he will cor- respond. Everybody who leaves town writes back. Newburgh being the first watering place, we shall detain the paper until the last possible moment, in hopes of hearing from the black horse and rockaway. (verbatim) (1)


1168 - H Aug. 14; ed:3/1 - The Editor is absent in attendance upon the Commencement Exercises of the Western Reserve College; for two or three days therefore responsibility rests only upon the old round table. Want of variety and lack of interest in our columns must be attributed to the fact that we are awkward with the scissors, and have not got the hang of the old stub of a quill. Some however may be so uncharitable as to sup- pose that the quill is in the hands of the original owner - the goose. (verbatim) (2)


1169 . H Aug. 15; ed:2/1 - Hazewell, new OHIO STATESMAN editor, announ- ces to all that he will fight to the finish all underhanded and slanderous attacks on himself. "We have before noticed the war already raging by some of the Locofoco prints against the new Editor of the STATESMAN. Those restive prints around the State who have succeeded in driving Medary from the chair may learn by the following extract from the STATESMAN that its present Editor is 'at home' and not to be attacked by every Snarleyow with impunity."


Extract: "But we are resolved that no man shall causelessly assail us - that no corrupt ruffian shall with impunity circulate slanders at our expense, and for the express purpose of injuring us in the eyes of the OHIO democ- racy." (4)

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd)


1170 - H Aug. 16; ed: 3/1 . Our Valedictory. - The "old round table" re- tires from the Editorship, after three days services, wiser in two re- spects. First, that editing a daily paper is a "dog's life"; and second, that the public don't begin to appreciate the services of editors and printer - not even giving the "devil his due." (verbatim) (1)


1171 - H Aug. 16:3/1 - A New Locofoco Paper. - Rumor says that a new Locofoco paper is to be started in this city; who is to be editor we do not hear. (verbatim)


(1)


1172 - H Aug. 19; ed:3/1 - Several months ago we published a sketch by H. M. T., a local lady correspondent, entitled MARY OR THE BLIGHTED HEART. Since that time, this work of an unpretending Reserve log cabin writer has been honored with reproduction in Eastern newspapers, and even wholesale literary theft in England, where the LONDON WORLD shamelessly copied the piece word for word without credit to the writer.


"A fine tribute truly to the literary talents of the women of the West." 1173 - H Aug. 20: ed:2/1 - Letters of N. P. Willis. - The publishers of the N. Y. MIRROR have extended their copy right prohibition of the repub- lication of the letters of Willis to country journals, except they pay $1.00 per letter for the privilege. This they have a right to do, of course, but the prohibition is scarcely needed unless Willis writes much better hereafter than up to No. 10 of the series. His letters so far have been the merest twaddle and not worth the space they fill in a column. We published several with the expectation of improvement in the next, but really each letter was more worthless than the previous one. Willis had better throw away his quill for a season at least. (verbatim) (2)


(4)


1174 - H Aug. 23:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "P." says: I have re- ceived copies of the DEMOCRATIC EXPOSITOR and the U. S. JOURNAL, and from what I have seen of them I am convinced they have adopted the right course to keep their party in power. They take the ground that a majority of voters are not enlightened, and that by singing to the masses the same tune sung in different keys, the masses will be accustomed to the music. The JOURNAL attacks New England manufacturers and cries, "Down with the Black Tariff." It claims not to attack northern indus- tries but manages to cry. "we abhor monopolies," asserting such monopo- lies are created by the tariff.


"They tell the masses that they abhor monopolies - that men should be just before they are generous. This last phrase I translate, keep all you get - get all you can. This is modern democracy - Preach economy and equal rights to the masses, while you are enjoying a monopoly which robs the whole people out of amounts that make a tariff absolutely necessary."

1175 - H Aug. 25; ed: 3/1 - Scioto GAZETTE. - This sterling Whig Journal has recently been enlarged, and the GAZETTE now claims to be the largest as well as the oldest paper in the State of Ohio. It was established in 1800,

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd) by Nathaniel Willis, "Printer to the Territorial Legislature." The GAZETTE has since, successively, been under the Editorial charge of P. Parcells, J. Barnes, J. Bailhache, R. Kercheval, J. W. Pumroy, B. O. Carpenter, and S. W. Ely. It is now edited by E. G. Squier. (verbatim) (2)


1176 - H Sept. 5; ed: 3/1 . Massillon GAZETTE. - Messrs. Wilson and Drews have enlarged the GAZETTE and put it in a neat, tasty new dress. It is now a good representative of Whig politics and the flourishing town of Massillon. (verbatim) (1)


1177 - H Sept. 12; ed:3/1 - Messrs. H. Steele and P. Baxter have just started a new paper in this city, the Cleveland TIMES, with Steele acting as editor. The TIMES is elegantly printed on good paper, and the edi- torials are of good selection.


"We are glad to see a promise that 'all personalities will be studiously avoided, as far as possible,' and that the malignant attacks on the enter- prize and the characters of the publishers from a certain quarter are passed by as they deserve . with silent contempt.


"Messrs. Steele and Baxter belong to the real working class, and as they have the range of a large field for labor in Northern Ohio, their enterprize can scarcely fail of success. We wish their TIMES profitable in all save politics."

1178 - HI Sept. 15; ed: 3/2 - The Albany EVENING JOURNAL announces that Rufus King of Albany has left for Milwaukie (sic) where he will take up his duties as editor of the Milwaukie (sic) DAILY SENTINEL.


" "Gen. K. will prove a most valuable addition to the Western editorial corps, and our young sister city of the Lakes is more than fortunate in acquisition." (5)


1179 - H Sept. 15; ed: 3/3 - The best cure for hard times is to cheat the doctor by being temperate; the lawyer by keeping out of debt; and dema- gogue by voting for honest men; and poverty by being industrious; but pay the printer if you wish to be happy.


(1)


1180 - H Sept. 16; ed:2/1 . The OHIO STATE JOURNAL says it is rumored that C. H. Brough and others of Columbus plan to start a new paper in that city, which will represent the Van Buren or Benton interests. "We have no doubt the establishment of a new paper by Brough and Company would be very acceptable to a large portion of the 'unterrified' in Ohio, for the course of the new editor of the STATESMAN must be 'gall and wormwood' to the Allens, Tappans, Broughs, Wellers, and Medarys, who have so long lorded it over the party." (3)


1181 - H Sept. 19; ed: 2/1,2 . A short time ago Thomas F. Marshall wrote us a letter regarding an article in one of our recent papers. He said: "The Editor of the Cleveland HERALD in his paper of the 28th ultimo, does Mr. Thomas F. Marshall great injustice in the attempt which he makes to

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd) produce on the public mind a false impression by the garbled extracts which he has given from that gentleman's productions, in regard to his position on the subject of slavery. If the Editor could only be just enough to publish all Mr. Marshall has said 'pro and con' instead of his selected extracts, perhaps he would find in his 'pro and con' nothing but the harmony of truth."


"The extracts which we published were 'selected' but not 'garbled ex- tracts,' . and the sentiments and opinions expressed therein, were neither changed or modified by anything preceding or following. We are not in the practice of attempting to produce a 'false impression' by garbling or perverting the productions of others, and we repel the insinuation con- tained in the honorable gentleman's note." (24)


1182 - II Oct. 9; ed:3/1 · We are compelled to crave the indulgence of our advertising friends, whose favors were knocked into pi last evening, to- gether with the entire reading matter of the inside pages of the HERALD. The advertisements will re-appear as soon as disorder can be reduced to order by the type-stickers.


The assistance volunteered by the PLAIN DEALER, AMERICAN and TIMES offices, by which we are able to continue our regular publication, is appre- ciated - and their kindness will be reciprocated should they ever unfortu- nately become the subjects of bad luck. (verbatim) (2)


1183 - H Oct. 21; ed:2/1 - The Locofoco press of Ohio has met with several changes in editorship since the election of Colonel Polk, most of the new- comers being from "down east." The STATESMAN, the Chillicothe ADVER- TISER, The Norwalk EXPERIMENT, and the Cincinnati ENQUIRER - the lat- ter now being under eastern ownership - have all made changes.


"The old Hard leaders have no notion of going down with the rotten hulk of Locofocoism, and with the instinct of rats desert the sinking ship."


(3)


1184 - H Oct. 25; ed: 2/2 - The new editor, Hazewell, writing in the OHIO STATESMAN, blasts, in a surprisingly strong manner, against his own Loco hard friends, in a late issue; the recent Loco defeat seeming to react on him more than the Maumee miosma he resides in. He even omits the Christian notation, "Yours affectionately," in an editorial ripping his Loco compan- ions.


"Deplorable destitution! is it not?


"Seriously, we had hoped better things of the Massachusetts Editor as the organ of the Locofoco party in Ohio. We had hoped that with Medary's withdrawal vindictive and scurrilous personalities would cease, and a purer and more elevated character would be acquired by the party press of our State." (13)


1185 - H Oct. 27; ed: 3/1 - Change. - Friend Smythe has retired from the publication and editorship of the Painesville TELEGRAPH. We bow Mr. S. out of the corps with regret, for he was ever an agreeable neighbor, and telegraphed rousing Whig majorities from flourishing Lake. Mr. H. C. Gray, who succeeds him, will do likewise, and we heartily welcome friend G to the tripod again. (verbatim)

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd) 1186 - H Oct. 27; ed:3/1 - We have received No. 1, of the Milwaukie (sic) DAILY GAZETTE, published by Wm. Duane Wilson - W. D. Wilson & I. S. Rowland Editors; Elisha Starr, Commercial and Local Editor. The GAZETTE is published on new material, is of creditable size, and makes a very neat appearance. Whig in politics, and conducted with the well known ability of its corps of editors, the GAZETTE cannot fail of becoming a valuable adjunct to the press of the flourishing Territory and to the young city that has sprung as of a night from wilderness to a busy mart of commerce. Abun- dant success attend the new enterprize and all connected therewith. (verbatim) (2)


1187 - H Oct. 28; ed: 3/1 - The new Editor of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER says: "Were we permitted to make a world, we would make no knaves or fools." He is the first man we ever knew who would bite his own nose off. What would become of the leaders of his party if he had the making of a world? (verbatim) (1)


1188 - H Oct. 29; ed:3/1 - The New York COURIER AND ENQUIRER is dough- faced enough to defend the verdict of the Lexington Jury, in acquitting the mobocrats of the 18th of August last. This is the only Whig paper in the free States that goes for the "respectable mobocrats." An enviable posi- tion truly! (verbatim) (1)


1189 - H Oct. 29; ed:3/1 - Mr. Case, of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER, says: "Did we live in a slave State, we would participate with the intelligent and patriotic."


Poor fellow, he is sick of his company already. (verbatim) (1)


1190 - H Nov. 1; ed:3/1 - Did the Milwaukie (sic) DAILY GAZETTE die "a bornin?" We have received but a single number.


Judging from the dates of Milwaukie (sic) papers received here, it is the most out of the way place this side of the Rocky Mountains. The papers are generally from 10 to 15 days old, and come in a heap at that. (verbatim) (1)


1191 - H Nov. 5; ed:2/1,2 - The Cincinnati CHRONICLE, noticing the re- marks of the HERALD concerning the favoritism shown the Queen city in previous state legislation, tenders the following: "We hope that the edi - tor of the HERALD merely penned the above in a moment of disappointment with reference to the political majority in this county, and that it does not indicate feelings of hostility towards the interests of Cincinnati."


"No! brethren of the Cincinnati press, far be it from us to harbor any hostility towards your city. We thought you needed to be stirred up a little by way of remembrance to good works, and we think our object is accomplished. Ere long we hope to be drawn by the iron horse to see you in your own happy and beautiful homes, so that our own eyes may behold the extent of the business as well as the magnificence of that city of which every true hearted Buckeye, come from where he may, is proud."

NEWSPAPERS (Cont'd) 1192 . H Nov. 8; ed:3/1 . The Cincinnati ATLAS remarks that the Cleveland HERALD is especially gifted in its poet-correspondents, the work of these Cleveland poets being as pearls compared with the usual trashy mush pub- lished in newspapers.


"The compliment paid to the correspondents of this journal - among whom we are happy to number several gifted lady writers · is well de- served. The 'gem' so prized by our Cincinnati friends, was addressed 'To Roscoe'; and with great pleasure we present our readers with another 'pure and perfect gem,' from the rich mental casket of the same fair correspondent - a gem which would not disparage the coronet of a Sigourney or a Bryant."

1196 - H Dec. 11; ed: 3/1 - The facts in regard to the "Lock and Key" part of the "Tale" in the PLAIN DEALER of last evening are briefly these. On Dec. 5 we obtained the keys for the Ravenna postoffice from the chief clerk of our postoffice, to enable us to secure a copy of the President's message to publish in our issue of Dec. 6. These facts we stated in person to the editor of the PLAIN DEALER yesterday morning, before his article of last night, charging Mr. Spencer with "collusion" and "high- handed villainy," was put in type.


We publish these facts as a simple act of justice to the Cleveland post master.


"At the time, we were not aware of the Post Office regulations touch- ing the matter, and the Chief Clerk evidently acted without reflection or intentional wrong."

1197 - H Dec. 11; ed: 3/1 . The "manifold errors," as lawyers say, which our readers may find in this and a few succeeding numbers are owing to the Editor's (sic) absence, who is off "sliding down hill." The "old round table" will duly notice any nice articles provided samples are handed in · except patent medicines.
