MORNING HER AID
Private OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES EA ssa DO


tiers received Of our private correspondents bot
male and female, from every part OF the civaize
world Europe and America. Many OF these lester
are written by persons entirely unknown 10 us, par
ticularly the female perton-othcrs from persOa
who communicats their names in confidence. AmonI
them will be found very well written epistle from
Saop England received by the packet ship Oxford
The writer is entirely unknown to me- bat il is curl
Gus mark, by the language used, both in this anc
all the other letters, the community of feeling excited
in the hearts and souls of persons Of both sexes
ding at Newark, at enondaga, in the interior of New
York, and IN Salop, near Shrewsbury, in England.
Without any connection, any communication, any
knowledge of each other we find that the best
uments of the heart excited simultaneously, by
the action of the Herald both in Europe and America.
Ii really appears that the New York Herald under
my management has become the centre OF new In
tellectua world, an Emporium in imperio, in the
midst of modern civilization, in which the heart the
SOUL the highest and p1rest principles Of enthusiasm
are generated excited, sustained and Wdened by ev-
cry successive number that issues from this establish
ment. When started the Herald, had no more
idea of its success of its popularity, OF It's power IN
exciting enthusiasm and unfolding virtue over the
male or female heart, than had that should be King
of England or President Of the United States only
knew that my heart had struggled for years to lay
itself before the werld-and that my SOUL since the
first monen of existence, had been burning with
desire TO leave train of light behind me as passed
from time TO eternity.
For long time, in spite Of little jealous efforts to
the contrary, the Herald, in the philosophy of CON-
merce, has actually exercised greater influence on
the press and public opinion, both in England and
the United States, than many are willing to allow.
Its bold, independent fearless exposition of the right
principles of financial science-and its original and
comprehensive views of hefuture, have been adopted
-nsensbly adopted, by the leading papers in London
and Paris. Even the Bank of England and the
French ministry, TO eur certain knowledge, have
sought for and obtained files of the New York He
raid, principally for It's financial dispositions phioso
ply and statistics. Our system OF Wall street report
ing has also been forced upon the other and elder
prints Of this city.
Such is the Herald in financial science-bst this
is the least of It's leading features. The movement
il has begun in social life and in the literature Of the
age is one of the most remarkable facts of the day.
and the continual evidences we are receiving in the
shape of passionate, warm enthusiastic and phoso-
phical letters from all parts of the world becomes
the FIRST harbinger Of The age and the new civil
ization. In producing this new and strange result
only followed my impulses, without ever dream
ing TO what they would lead. exhibited myself in
the Herald, precisely as / had ever done in private
life-fearing MISUNDERSTANDING heartfelt impulses
and taking my course on full and impartial survey
OF the state of the world the hcsh and the devil In
this course have called forth the talent w.t. fancy,
and imagination of other minds, and believe that
every person who has been associated with me in
the Herald, will acknowledge that in conjunction
with nv IDEAS they found themselves more capable
more Intellectual and better enabled aid the great
social and literary revolution in progress through
eat the civilized world.
In this revolution New York, from its happy po-
son, may be considered the centre of the civil
lzation. As Gibraltar is free city in commerce-so
NAV New York be called the free city Of heart, soul
and mind, as developed by the new system of the
press There empire beyond that OF laws and
royernmeHis-it is the empire of heart--ef soul-of
feeling-ofmgh enthusiasm in all Intellectually hiloso-
phca and moral pursuits This great modern empire
is not bounded by seas oceans-nor by mountains
or hills -nor by the boundaries of republics or the
breadth of kingdoms. Wherever genus, soul, heart
exists there il moves and has being What greater
proof can be had of this than the extraordinary, daily
and failing stream OF private correspondence,
fewing in upon me, as the humble editor OF this
newly discovered empire in philosophy society and
light
The value, the importance, the intellectual nhu-
ence OF newspaper is only beginning 10 be disco
vered Addison and Stoele, IN their Tattlers and
Spectators first broke ground on the same princi-
pies but they were without the philosophy the reach
Of mind, the perseverng industry, the ndomitabl'
moral courage or the mechanical Improvements o.
steam and machinery, TO bind congenal intellect and
hearts in one undivided empire, throughout the
haunts Of civilization. In bringing the movements
Of human life, Of finance Of philosophy and even
Of politics, briefly and cnergeticay into the saln'
sheet new impulse is created, and new era of lite
nature begun. Such we believe to be the true expls
nauoH Of the birth, rise, progress and prospects o.
the Herald.
Apropos. One remark, ef a local application, we
must not forget in relation TO our Newark female
correspondence. Up TO this tune the most finished
pieces OF female composition we have heretofore
cevcd from New Haven. From recent specimens
we begin to Think that in intellect good sense, par,
fancy and sound education, the females OF Newark
are inferior TO none-supsrlor To many.
