The " MORNING HERAL d" appears to-day in a
entire and elegant set OF type, manufactured
expressly for us, by Mr. James Common, corner OF
Mas and Fulton streets. In addition to tins nc"
type we have also effected decided Improvement
in the quality and appearance of the paper useo ioi
our publications which enable us to say that the Phy
steal qualities of the Herald as much superior
TO those of every other paper published IN IN rs e'y
its intellectual character has long maintained be-
fore the community
In speaking thus Of ourSelf, we affect no silly mo-
destv. or empty headed decacy in bodying forth
our own merits dement's, either personal or pro-
fessional. Our pety and our sns-our elegant
souint and our long nose-our indomita Bile moral
courage and our restless enterprise, we have ana
USED frequently, critically, accurately and as
independently as we scanned the various merits
of Jack OHaggerty or Joe HoXie or Master Webb
or Rabbi Noah clustering Charles King, or any
other of those silly fellows who have attempted to
set limits to intellectual and moral influence
We did not establish the Herald, alone to make mo-
ney-but also to make revolution in morals, IL
nance, religion, and philosophy; and every day. the
system of the Wall sttee press is tottering before
Us. We are the centre and the soul of new litera-
ture and philosophy, the origin of which is the cash
daily press. In the neghborhood of Il Ann street,
the new race of newspapers are widening and
spreading around us daily, while the old race pub
lished in Wall street, including all the old weekly
journals must 90 out of being and out at the elbows,
one after the other, like many candles burning
down to the socket into eternal darkness and debt.
This is the revolution which is to change the
world In fact we only finishing the revolution
began by Luther, of the greatest men that ever
lived. And in order to add fresh impulse to il in
e hi. H. .,b
proved paper and every element moral and intellec-
tual in the highest vigor, Without increasing the
size of paper (for the foolish passion for large
papers has led to the downfall Of the Wall street
press, and will also the decline and fall of the
World and Brother Jonathan, If they don't look out
in timc) we are enabled TO add two columns and a
half 10 business and advertising departments and
this is effected without any diminution in the vi
sible dimensions of the type For this signal econo-
mical improvement we are indebted to the mechani-
cal genius of James Conner; who, although the
vusion of 1851 Frustrated him for few months, yet
Ne has risen like the Phoenix from his ashes and
is now in a fair way to make a second and a surer
fortune than his first.
This Improvement will also enable US to accom-
modate the great increase of advertisements, which
the spring business, now just beginning, will pour
upon columns The solid merchants and ira
ders oil all Kinds, that II, those VINO Know now 10
manage their business on right principles, be-
ginning to discover that advertisement in the
Herald is better than in all the Wall street
papers combined, at about four times the price
charge. Our circulation is larger than all put
together, and il is also read than all put toge
Their Those bankrupts and blockheads, who cans,
not or know not how to manage their own business,
will Of course continue to patronze the bankrupt
and blockhead papers. We only want the patron
age of honest men and lovely wonderland them we
get in abundance, besses on the Virgin
In addition to these various Improvements in our
Establishment, we are also negotiating for a small
steamer 10 add fleet of boats, in order 10
finish the Wall street press, and TO put an end at
once to those lingering torments which they now
suffer in mind and finances. Our humanity has been
by the struggles Of these papers to keep their
heads above water particularly those Of the Courier,
in curailing the wages Of it, printers and any sys-
tenn that operate like the guillotine upon them,
will be a great favor, and piece Of decided human
ity'
Meantime. we go ahead, in fulhment of our des-
tiny and shall continue 10 make Improvements that
will vet more astonish the world.
