Morning herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1837-1840, 1840-12-09


Will be published this morning, containing the
RESIDENTS MESSAGE, as sson as it shall be
received at this Office. We knock under to the
Wall street consprators this time--but more.
This is their last card"
The Presidents Message----Ex press from
washingtsn----Comhi OF the Wall
street Press against the Herald--rhe Her.
AID defeated, but neither dead nor dis
tanced.
We have the modification TO inform nsme-
rous readers that unable TO place before them
to-day SO early could wish, the Presidents
Message, delivered yesterday TO Congress, while it
is highly probable that our moral OF
the all street press will be enabled in this respect
to beat us and anticipate our efforts for one day
We shall, however, publish it in an Extra sson as
possible.
We are beat-we confess it-bst we verify believe
that this is the last great or decisive effort OF the
combined all street press to compete with or sur
PASS the enterprise of the Herald. When Pyrrhus,
King of Epirus invaded the Rsnan commonwealth,
he gained a victory over the invincible republican
cohorts in cohse cuence OF using means in battle TO
which the Romans were net accustomed, and had
never seen. Il congratulate your Majesty on your
Msjesty's victory'-sad the iatterers of the King
:. All, my dear friends" replied Pyrrhus, such
another victory will ruin my cauAe in Italy" So
saw we to the Vail street prints. This days victo
nv which they have achieved over the Herald, Gf
they actually succeed-snd they have taken every
precauton to do soy will be the last and most iata
that they ever achieved
why will it be so Because their mean, sneak
ing conduct-ther dirty tricks and contemplate
naseuvering will never deceive us second time
Our whole energy, enter prise, and vigor vii! be
reused into fresh existence. IL we had not trust
ed to their common business magnanimity, we could
have had the Message at our own expense-and
hereafter, we shall take good care TO prevent any
such trick a second time.
We shall make no other apology TO our readers
Tor this defeat. They require 1t got. During the
last five years the community of New York have
had ample opportunity to SEQ the results OF our &C.
tivity industry, enterprise, and promptness, in
every department of the new spaper business. The
establishment of the Herald, and its system of bu.i
ness have created revolution, not only in this city,
but throughout the country, which is yet in pro-
xress During the whole Of this period, from May,
1885, up to the present day we tell it, we have
countered the deadly hostility of the whole Wall
street newspaper press in New.York. Three seve-
raj times, they have attempted to turn the public
mind against US, by raising the hypscrtical cry
these prints combined with the banks and specula-
iators, and had US fined $500, merely for the
of writing John for James Hagserty-Publishing
John instead of James Hagserty. In 1888 they at
tackled us on the point ofpubic and private morals
while not one of these editors has character that
is not spotted it'll kind Of roguery. In 1910,
during the last summer, third and more general
combination was raised, united with the principal
politi cal journals Of the Atlantic cities, dissuadng
the public from reading the Herald, advertising
in its threatening all indepen dsst men
who did so, with exposure and attack
The madness and arrogance of these men did not
stop here. They went round to all the managers Of
the theatres, endeavering to induce them TO cease
advertising in the Herald, and actually persuaded
Mr. Bloek-head Wilson, the manager fthe Nation
al to bring suit for damages against us, because
we, in obedience to public duty, recommended
him to be sure that his new house should be well
and securely built, and not up like Josephs'
Bank in w all street to come down in ruins.
But this was not all They went SO far as to asssil
the independent and gentlemanly proprietor. of

our family at the usual ordinary mean, cowsrdly,
dastardly attempt, which cowd be conserved or at
