These are emily specimen Of the letters received at
this Office in day, showing the amazing popularity
and increase Of the Herald. The attack made upon
our character and business by the rival press Of Wall
street has been among the principal means Of widen

many letters from persons ordering the Herald, who
are 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 career of reformation in liberty, morals religion,
and science Yesterday we paid up the last payment
due for our News Boat Establishment, by adding to

establishment are all my own. ! am my own Trus-
