MORNING HERALD,


Yea yes And II will never cease to exist while the
Angle Saxon rules the destinies of North America.
Ii may be assaulted by the vigorous arm OF despousm
seeking to repress the truth for the more eectua sue
cess OF its vile and wicked schemes bat IT IS iPreS
nable when defended by the free.
Two wears and half since we began the Herald
Not unknown were we the people OF this city, Inns
State. and this Union Long had we labored under
hard and ignorant task masters we escaped roh
their tyranny, thanks to you, people of New York;
and now. when we would enjoy the liberty o. me
press guaranteed 10 every individual in the land these
same masters have came forward and declared that
such an immunity does not exist IN this country
They have dared to say that shall not write what
we please that we shall not publish what We please !!
And who are the tyrants that presume to lsrd It
rhus over the heads of freemen They are conductors
of the public press in Wall street. Yes they edi-
tors and propretors of daily newspapers. They
would reduce rs to their ignoble condition.
They would prevent from thinking as we please
apon the concerns Of life. But what is more outra-
geoas than all they have ORDERED you, free citizens
ofNew York not to take the Herald not 10 advertise
init any longer They have ordered you TO do all
this under the threat of prescription, under the me-
mace Of public Indignation. Are you willing to be dc
tated to by the authors of these mandates /?
When we labored ia the service of others few
years ago. the press was in comparative scrvitude
Chques OF men governed its directors and opinion
could go forth unless it received the appreciation Of
these dctators. We were FESTIVE then under such
tyranny. The moment that we were placed IN con-
dton to express opinions uncontrolled we dis
carded all extraneous Influences thought for ourselves
and published our thoughts. Many were the bitter
foes that we made by such course. Bat we prefer
red freedom and revling to slavery and praise Ever
r. Al II
raid, there have been hundreds who would willingly
have taken away the life given us by an all wise
Creator Yet they dared not. They feared the laws,
and ground their teeth in revenge.
We went on conquering and to conquer, by the aid
of generous and discerning people, living fondy
hoped under government that guaranteed TO us
quiet and unrestraned right of honestly getting a
living That we may have overstepped, and in many
did transcend the limits within which other peo
pies rights were hedged, we free to confess. But
this evil incident to the perfect freedom of the
press. When encroached upon others rights, the
laws were ready to vndicate their wrongs And we
have suffered share for ndiscretons But there
IS one thing which We can say before God and heaven
we wronged individual in our life through
predeter mined malice. Oar opposition TO men and
things has invariably been based upon principle. In
the exercise of judgment to determine that prin-
Cpe, we may have frequently erred but we ex-
pect from man perfection
After two and half years of toll we find oar enc
mics with all the virulence of the base Judean" re-
commencing in this enlightened day, to the free peo
pie Of New York to put the mark of Cain the Her
aid, and 10 eschew it as they would deadly poison
Unblushngly, in the face of open day, the people
told read journal, not to advertise in it, not
to look at il under the penalty of prescription. They

be excluded from society TO have an embargo laid
upon their business, and to be avoided enemies to
the commonwealth! Yes sach is the edct that a
portion of the press Of this city, through pure spite
and envy have dared put forth against the Herald
If there be enc man whs will bsw TO the mandate
he is recrcant to his countrys liberty. 1t is not the
putting down Of the Herald that will result from the
successful operation Of this high handed conspiracy
against cur Just rights. No, no your own dear bcr-
ty, fellow citizens, involved in this question. Put
down the Herald, and il will be the worst day for
American liberty that yet transpred. The press
MUST be free sncontroHdbfy free liberty will take
her fight from this happy land forever.
But while we write, we feel, we know, that the peo-
pie Of this city, will hur back with contempt upon the
journals that have conspred against this paper their
base attempt at debating to them what public print
they shall not read, and what public print they shall
not advertise in. The wicked scheme TO put down
will recsl upon the heads of enemies with treble
force il there be freedom justice, and Of right
10 this community They have dug the pits for their
own destruction. Independence, an ardent desire
after TRUTH and industry, will never be tramped on
by New Workers.. Believing this we raise the broad
shied-freedon Of The press-and under its proec-
ton take our stand do die The enormity Of the
Wall conspiracy, is only equaed by the desp
cable envy which that clique entertoins for the sue
cess Of our journal. We have the satisfaction Of tell
ing them that their attempts to rciard the progress Of
the Herald on ly acceerates its course.
