Having understood on Wednesday (June 21) that a daily paper was about being issued in this city as nearly like our own as it could be got up, under the title of _The True Sun_, for the avowed purpose of benefitting the proprietors at our expense, we yesterday changed our inside title, being determined to place an injunction upon any such piratical proceedings. Yesterday morning the anticipated _Sun_ made its appearance, and at first sight we immediately abandoned our intention of defending ourselves legally, being convinced that it is a mere catchpenny second-hand concern which (had it our whole list and patronage) would in one month be among the “Things that were.” It is published by William F. Short and edited by Stephen B. Butler, who announces that his “politics are Whig.”... Mr. Short, with the ingenuity of a London pickpocket, though without the honesty, has made up his paper as nearly like ours as was possible and given it the name of _The (true) Sun_ for the purpose of imposing on the public.... We hereby publish William F. Short and Stephen B. Butler to our editorial brethren and to the printing profession in general as _Literary Scoundrels_. A day later (June 24, 1835) the _Sun_ declared that in establishing the _True Sun_ “Short, who is one of the printers of the _Messenger_, actually purloined the composition of his reading matter”; and it printed a letter from William Burnett, publisher of the _Weekly Messenger_, to support its charge of larceny. On June 28, six days after the _True Sun’s_ first appearance, the _Sun_ announced the failure of the pretender. The _True Sun’s_ proprietors, it said, “have concluded to abandon their piratical course.” Another _True Sun_ was issued by Benjamin H. Day in 1840, two years after he sold the _Sun_ to Moses Y. Beach. A third _True Sun_, established by former employees of the _Sun_ on March 20, 1843, ran for more than a year. A daily called the _Citizen and True Sun_, started in 1845, had a short life. When a contemporary did not fail the _Sun_ poked fun at it: MAJOR NOAH’S SINGULARITY--The _Evening Star_ of yesterday comes out in favor of the French, lottery, gambling, and phrenology for ladies. Is the man crazy?
