h,.;ne.. On that day, At II o'clock, the Liverpool
Steamer will sail for England, carrying Win her
;mnortant CONNIE rcial intelligence. A
Ths ;.t.llieence Of commercial character con-
tanned in the Herald is, we venture to say, better
than that published in any paper in New York. Our
developments in the cotton and money narkets-the
facts of which are collected from the most authentic
sources, cannot be reached by any paper published ON
this side Of the water Our superiority in this re-
spect arises from no supernatural power-ri 10 simply
the natural result Of energy industry, enterprise,
systen and res solution that tires. The intel
Iectual and physical power Of all kinds employed on
the Herald, is more concentrated and syssematized
than ever was attempted in this country Yet it is
only beginning to develope its capacity.
From these circumstances the circulation OF the
Herald in France and England probably three times
as great as all the other papers in New York put to-
gether. On the sailing Of steamer to England, we
generally issue several k0usand papers over the or
binary days-and tomorrow morning, as we intend
to issue second edition. ,ci the additional ncacs by
the mails we shall increase that issue beyond any
former precedent. Those who want Heralds, how
ever for sending by the steamer, will please to get
them as early as possible in the morning. The first
edition Of the daily will be issued ut O'Clock In the
nornng-the first edition Of the weekly ats o'clock,
and the second edition Of the same at half-past ten
o'clock. Eat moderately, drink more moderately
bathe often-seek the sweet society Of virtuons and
refined young wsmen-avoid the company of segar-
smoking oafers and dirty, drinking
above all, read the Herald, and you will go through
the warm weather on your road to heaven without
any obstacle or obstruction. Be wise
Henry CIay-Gsneral Scott Mr Van Buren,
The presence of Henry Clay in this city-the as
ssmblage of leading politicians from all parts OF the
country which surround him-the consultations
which have been held under the inspiring influence
Of Stetsons cuisine and wine cellar, are gradually
producing their effects the minds Of the thinking
and the unthinkng-the wise and the foolish-the
sestlemen and the loafers. A concentration Of
opinion israpdly forming among the wing politicians
and in spite of the disasters which the whig
has sustained in the recent elections, we must
saw that Mr.. Clay and his friends indicate dec
pendency-ne want of disposition to falter
in the coming contest
In the present. assortment of the elements at the
Aston House, these questions are mooted-"W Will
Mr. Clay be the wing candidater &C Will the ma
tional convention nominate himf' would il be
good policy to drop him for General Scott9"
81 Would not General Scott be the best candidate,
and bring out more efficiently all the elements Of the
sppostion7'
To these questions, very simple answers may be
given. From appearances here and elsewhere, we
have every reason believe that Henry Clay viii be
the candidate Of the lwhig pary-but we doubt very
much whether he ever can be elected against Mr..
Van Buren,. Mr.. Clay has some Of the elements OF
popularity-and, doubt, in some respects, he 10
. noble spirt-but his popularity has been injured
by a succession of defeats for twenty years-and
though his spirit is yet brilliant, il has faded much Of
late years. Mr.. Clay, however, will form very
useful pent fermentation to keep the wing party
in the traces till the gallant General Scott is ripe
take the field. In this view Of the case the Great
Western will keep the saddle warm till the hero of
Chippewa be ready to nsunt, for have idea
that the popular elements will be ready to come into
action for General Scott, till the election Of 1910
shall have taken place. Immediately after that event
whatever its result may be-General Scott will be
considered a candidate-and from his position-his
name-his history-his reputation, it is just
tain that he will be the Of the present in
cumbsnt, as that,he lives and has being Military
talent-military capacity-military reputation, are
the elements Of every thing great and attractive to
the American people. They fighting people
and they like Sighting characters. On this point
there is no mistake. The party that made John q
Adams president never could have been dislodged
but by the revolutionary and popular vement
ating in the name Of Andrew Jackson. Under tha
name and popularity, Mr.. Van Barren has organised
his present party, and called il "demccratic"-n
can his dynasty, or party be broken up, but b,
bringing in conflict with its organization, the YER,
elements that gave it its first existence. No il
this country possesses these elements in such abun
dance as General Scott-but they require a litt
more time and showers and sunshine to bring then
TO maturity.
Again. this is the year Of hurras and fooleries. W.
doubt the possibility Of ever repayIng Harry Clay
for his sonabe services in any ether coin thar

Office holders and Office seekers in the wing ranks
