Morning herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1837-1840, 1838-10-06

% Before another morning paper will be ISSUED
from this Office, in all probability, Mr. Bennett will
have assumed the reins Of the editorial chariot. The
Royal William will certainly arrive before Monday
morning, and we shall certainly keep our columns
open until two or three hours after midnight on that
morning, if she does not arrive earlier; 50 that we
need hardly say to one and all look out for Mon
days paper
Mr. Bennett left this city on the lst of May, and
consequently has been absent from US more than
five months But in that period how much has he
not accomplished He has travelled over the greater
part Of England Scotland, and France, crossed and
recressed the ocean, established commercial, ltera-
nv and political correspondence for the Herald in all
the principal cities of Europe, whsh will place II
upon footing far superior TO that OF any other paper
now in the United States. He has also written over
half hundred letters, published in this paper) any
one of which would establish the fame of any man,
even though he had PREVIOUSLY been unknown.
Though his tour has been pleasant TO himself and
TO those with whom he sojouraed for the time being,
yet II has also been of considerable labor. Ora
titude TO the past patrons of the Herald prompted
him TO do this, in the first instance, and determination
to deserve continuance of their favors and to in
crease his own (already widely extended) sphere Of
usefulness, sustained him in his undertaking.
For full fifteen years has Mr. Bennett been labor
ing in the service Of this country under hard and
ignorant task masters, neither murmurng nor COM
planning for like his immortal namesake his motto
was, 81 bide my tme!" That time has arrived
his foot will soon touch our shores and come when
he may, we know that the universal cry of the truly
noble amongst his fellow citizens here will be, His
worth is warrant for his welcome hither |"
For ourselves it may seem somewhat out OF place
here TO say any thing, and yet II seems somewhat
necessary that something should be said by way Of
a VINE up to our brief editorial career The task Of
catering for the columns of the Herald fell upon our
shoulders most Unexpectedly and but too sensible are
we that could not have fallen into much worse hands
IL has been aborious but not an unpleasant duty,
for the constant feeling that We were the humble m
struments sf placing the affairs Of nations IN pro-
per light before our 5000 readers-the knowledge
that we were laboring hold the mirror up to VIZ
tae and to expose the deformlty of vice. TO sustain
the weak and 10 curb the overbearlng and tyrannca
and above all, the knowledge that our celebrations
were daily read by 10000 OF the loveiest women the
sun ever shone upon, was an unceaslng source OF
graduation to US, and never failing stimulus to ex-
ertion.
Our task is done-those labors are ended-and IN
all probability this the last editorial article We shall
address TO those who have continued to support this
paper whilst under our unworthy management. That
we have failed to afford that satisfaction which might
have been expected OF US no, al least chageabe TO
our will. Its not N mortals 10 command success,
bat we've done more-we have endeavorcd 10 de-
serve IT, We sat down IN the editorial chair without
ar III feeling towards single created being-unlike
our nelghbor Of the Journal Of Commerce" we have
been willing even that the very dogs should fulfil the
end and object Of their existence without moesiaen
from Us. We have never, in any one nstancs, suffer.
ed our private feelings TO influence our public writings
we never inserted an attack upon any one from
envy hatred or mallce-snd, on the other hand, We
have never inserted approving line from fear, ia.
vor, affection OF the hope Of reward, nor where we
did not believe rghteously deserved. II called
by circumstances hereafter to I'll the same station,
we shall pursue the seme career, and look TO the
same genereus public for their expression Of approval.
