These are only specimen of the letters received at
this Office in day, showing the amazing popularity
and increase OF the Herald. The attack made upon
character and business by the rival press Of Wall
street has been among the principal means Of widen
ing and extending popularity. We have received
many letters from persons, ordering the Herald, who
melted thereto, by the attacks Of the press. Yet
with all this feeling in favor and the possession
Of means to carry out our views, we are persuaded
that we are only in the beginning Of great and go-
rious of reformation in liberty, morals religion,
and science. Yesterday we paid up the last payment
due for our News Boat Establishment, by adding to
IL boat which had been built for the Express, but
which that concern could not pay. lowe nothing IN
this world to any person. My double cylinder press,
my steam engine, my types, my newsooat, my whole
establishment are all my own. am my own Trus-
