The New York Times, March 6, 1860
Our modest neighbor, the Tribune, has been for a long time in the habit of giving variety and interest to its columns by paragraphs and clippings from our Paris, London and Washington correspondence—duly displayed as original. This is all quite endurable, as the value it gives the Tribune far outweighs any injury it may do us. On Friday morning, however, we published a two-column letter from one of our correspondents on the coast of Africa, full of important revelations concerning the slave trade. On Saturday morning the Tribune publishes precisely the same letter, verbatim, following all our italic marks, &c., and coolly heads it “From our our Correspondent” This seems to us a little strong—but as it is mainly a matter of taste, we have nothing to say against it. We only hope our neighbor will do it as rarely as convenient.
