CvRrAILISa THE ExcHASGEs.-1he philadelphia
Herald came to this Office the other day, with the
words "please exchange" written the margin "a
la Tommy Benton"-that is to say, it written out
in a plain fair, legibe hand, and then expunged by
lines drawn across it, in order to cheat Amos Kendall
out of beggary York shilling, as the Senate at
tempted TO cheat poscrity out of the history of
General Jacksen's reign
We formerly exchanged with the Philadelphia He
RAID but in consequence one day of giving 1t slap
for of its ridiculous absurdlties 1t stopped the
exchange. We might have overlooked that piece of
impertlnence, but there other reasons yet remain
ing which will not permit us to to restore diplomatic
intercourse with such paper as the Herald. The
Philadelphia Herald began some time ago TO give
ports of the Philadelphia money market, but at the
intimidation of some merchants and spectators, it
abandoned the wholesome practice while conscious
of its utility. We might also have excused the gene
raj stupidity Of the Philadelphia Herald, but editor
that shows craven a spirit to abandon his duty
TO the public, because il may interfere with the bub
bles Of spectators is utterly unworthy 10 be honored
with place on the exchange list of the New York
Herald
We not only refuse therefore 10 restore the Phila-
delpha Herald TO the honor of diplomatic intercourse
with us, bat we hereby give notice that we have
struck off the "Penns ylyanian" from the same list,
purely account of its general stupidity, lis want
of talent and its want of spirit Fortunately the
exchangeable slockheads of the Philadelphia Nation
al Gazette were never our list. We have been de-
lberating, too, about dsing the same thing TO the
Philadelphia Inquirer, but our heart is filled with
compassion, account of some ancient recollectlons
Of love and rogucry pracsed upon us, will put ii
on its good behavior for month longer. The United
States Gazette, the Pennsylvania Sentinel and the
Public Ledger, show some talent and industry, al
though in them there is plenty of room for i'm
provement. They shall be continued for the present
We now also while our iron is in the fire, give ge-
neral warning to all other exchange papers
throughout the Union, to stir their stumps a little
they want TO preserve their diplomatic intercourse
with the New York Herald. We don't care how much
any paper cut up slash right and left or abuse us
all round, provided it is done with talent wit spirit
and without the assumption of dirty political motives
or conducts but stupidity, folly, want of industry OF
want of talent will not stand from any paper un
der heaven. We will strike them from our exchang,
list, and send them to purgatory at once.
MAsAGER's LAST KIcK.-It is amusing TO sec th
several prints lashing themselves into fury at tn
rawlings of the Courier & Enquirer, on the subject
the present crisis and in the matter of refusing to pa
the government bonds. These silly prints do no
understand the tactics of the Courier
The charlatan Of that concern seeing ne is entirel,
cclPsed by the superior commercial science and vigo
Of the Herald and other papers, is cut to the quick
