“The DETECTOR.--Under this title, it is our intention to devote a column or two of our paper, once a week at least, to the detecting and exposing of the ignorance, perverseness, and falsehood of the Jacobinical and stock-jobbing prints, which, to the great scandal and reproach of the nation, are not only tolerated, but _read_. From our experience, acquired in a country where the spirit of Jacobinism is, if possible, still more daring and violent than in England, we are convinced that, to succeed in a warfare such as we have commenced, defensive measures will not do,” &c. “The _Times_ calls the _Chronicle_ the ‘leading print of Opposition,’ which compliment the _Chronicle_ returns by styling the _Times_ the ‘leading print of Government.’… What can entitle them to the epithet ‘_leading_,’ we are at a loss to discover, except it be their superiority in point of turpitude … if falsehood and hypocrisy admit of degrees of comparison, we are rather disposed to give the _Times_ the scandalous pre-eminence.” “The _Morning Chronicle_ was yesterday seized with the horrors,” &c. “To Correspondents.--Nimrod is surprised that we should have condescended to notice the _Oracle_, and advises us to pursue a nobler _game_; but he should do us the justice to recollect that, when game are not to be found, sportsmen sometimes amuse themselves by destroying _vermin_.” “Ignorance and perversity: For these two amiable qualities the _Morning Post_ and the _Times_ are eminently distinguished.” (The _Observer_): “The occupation of this print is to scrape together the orts of the week, and hash them up,” &c. “The _Monthly Magazine_, a periodical miscellany, which we have already mentioned with due abhorrence.” “The _Morning Herald_, in the delirious enjoyment of its puns and conundrums.” “Profound _Morning Post_! poor innocent! what does it know of the existing differences between this country and America? No more, we dare engage, than do the footmen and chambermaids who read its conundrums with such delight.… We would indeed earnestly recommend the _Morning Post_ to avoid politics altogether. Its company will always be welcome in the kitchen, and sometimes in the nursery.”
