Negative notice

“We copy the following from the Brooklyn Advertiser. We thank our brother for showing up his neighbor so handsomely.”
{continuous reading, new quoted paragraph} “”A GOOD ONE.—The editors of the Unionist, ask their readers to excuse their “ample notice of the Norwich Courier,” and add, “we never hesitate to do battle with any one who is worthy of our notice.” It therefore seems that the Unionist editors are sensible of the fact that an object worthy of their notice is unworthy the notice of their readers; else why do they ask their readers to excuse them? And what is still more amusing, the Unionist intimates that the Courier is worthy of its notice, when the Courier only week before last, sent the Unionist a budging, (and as we think, with a sore head,) at the same time declaring that is, (the Courier) had no spare room to devote to any further notice of the Unionist! The would-be independent editors, should, in the first place, be sure than an opponent will notice them, and then they can talk about condescending to notice that opponent, with a better grace.””
