The New York Herald

STEALING WITHOUT AN ARREST.—We recently charged the Express newspaper with stealing our reports, during anniversary week; and that paper has had the audacity, not only to deny the charge, but to retort, and say that we—the New York Herald—"filched, body and breeches, the Express report of the Fourier Meeting." To this we have a word to say in reply. We deny, most unequivocally, the charge which it makes; and reiterate, most positively, that which we have made against that notoriously dishonest paper, in the way of filching our matter—which costs us time and money—and publishing it as their own. The report of the Fourier meeting, to which it alludes, and which appeared in our paper, was made at our expense—written in our office the very day on which the meeting in question took place; but, in consequence of want of room, was not published for a day or two afterwards. This we can prove by the gentleman who reported that meeting, and by others in our establishment. So much for that point; now for the other. We reiterate our charge against the Express; and we dare them to deny that they took the report of the anniversary of the American Home Missionary Society—of something like a column and two-thirds in length—from our paper, and published it, verbatim, in the Express, as their own. To be sure, they added two hymns, which were sung on the occasion, in order to deceive the public with the cheat; but we dare them to deny that they appropriated the report in question, and published it as their own.
The tables will indeed be turned, when the Herald condescends to take reports from the Express—which is nothing but a piece of patchwork, like an old woman's quilt, made up of scraps and patches from every paper in the Union.
