Morning herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1837-1840, 1840-08-31


We cannot condescend to notice the Courier.
That paper is in degraded state now, and sunk
too low for any respectable person to be influenced
by it. We shall neither handy cpithets or abuse
with il, as that would be following its own base
example.
We have been fully informed Of every caucus that
has been held recently, and of all the projects that
have been started with view TO put down the
Herald" but they are so silly as only TO excite a
smile of pity for the projectors and oil contempt iof
their intentions. The recent attack OF the C"u'
rier" has destroyed the little reputation winch
that paper previously had in the community. Inc
unmitgated malice 30 apparent, that II recoiiea
ON its origiaators. The scandaous text carried It's
own commentary along with IT, disguised every
good, and every honest man IN the community, ana
earned for the writer, notoriety even more as
graceful than he possessed before The attempt TO In
volve innocent third parties, aad even the unohena
inc female members of mans family, in a mere
newspaper quarrel, which had its origin In spleen
at the success of this paper, is Of outrageous and
upprec edented character as to meet with unlver-
sal indignation And there we leave this matter, so
dsyraceful to the +" Courier''-well satisfied that
the public should judge betweea us
The simple fact is that the recent announcement
of onr intention to enlarge the Herald in few
DAYS. and 10 extend the sphere gifts usefulness, has
almost set the editors of Wall street crazy. They
know that their fate is sealed; the death OF the
Star is but the forerunner of the speedy dssolu-
ton of the whole of them The death of the Courier
is certain and in less than two years. from this time,
il will be found In the receptacle for things lost
upon earth
Our course is plain, consistent, clear, and will
he triump hant one. The foundations Of the "Ier-
a,d'' are on a rock that cannot be moved Our ar
rangements are such as to defy competition. Every
department of our paper is filled so effectively as to
rive us an advantage the whole of the other pa
pers in every thing. We have now the best ship
news collector in the city, aud shall increase the
usefulness Of that department Our editorial ar
rangements are complete than those OF any
other paper. Each person has his own peculiar de-
partment, in which each excels, so that the whole
i complete and effective without producing confu-
sion. We have $4,000 in cash and good state
stocks to expend upon the "Herald," and if any
doubts this. they can ask Cornelius w. Lawrence,
who will satisfy them on this head. We shall put mp
orr new press, the size of the Courier press, in
few days probably next Saturday and shall. enlarge
our paper 10 the size of the "New York American
Immediately afterwards.
Nor shall we stop here. Mr.. Bennett is continu-
ly making arrangements TO increase the utility and
excellence of his paper; and is even now adjusting
his plans to enable him go to Europe next spring,
to pete a system Of commercial AMI other cor
respondence that shall throw into the shade all pre-
vious attempts orthe kindHe will also make efficient
arrangements for distributing sound and correct in
formation all Europe, respecing-the political,
financial commercial and other affairs Of this great
and prosperous continent.
Thi, is the way in which 'ce fight the valiant
champions of the moral war. They excite in us no
anger, no jealousy, no animosity-nothing but con-
tempt for their malice aud pity for their condition.
They only spur to renewed efforts of industry;
they only make every branch Of this establishment
strain every to make sill better paper than
ever. And if they wish to put down the He
raid" after this, they can easily do IT If they
follow advice; and that is, A" make better pa
per than the Herald" Then, and not till then the
public will to support the Herald. Till then
we repeat that our course is onward.
