Morning herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1837-1840, 1840-03-10


specimen of penny lying from our highly respected
dirty, sneaking, dwelling, contemplate, negro
temporary, the :" Sun" In relation to the impor-
tant facts brought by the Great Western, negro
contemporary says:
"Ofthese, and of the other important portions of
the news, we gave copious details Saturday, in
a Extra; which issued within two hours after
the arrival of the g. W., some hours before the APP
pearance of the evening papers and far In advance OF
of the extras issued by several Of contempt
raries. Over 40 900 copies of those extras dis
posed of at counter before evening, and to the
closing of our columns last night, the demand for
them had not ceased Through these extras, the
evening papers of Saturday and the Sunday papers,
most OF the city must have become possessed of the
principal information received and for that reason
do not cucumber our columns this morning with
any heightened repettions of what is already before
most of our readers.
Now the facts simply thus On Saturday NOR
ming published the heads of the that might
be expected BY the Great Western, about neon OF
that day; all OF which antcipations realized
by her arrival at that very hour. had my entire
establis hment Of foremen, compostors, pressmen,
sub-editors reporters clerks, and assistants of all
kinds waiting in readiness for her expected appear
ance. The consequence was, that not moment was
lost in getting out the after i received it. My
news boat, Commodore Robert Martin (thsn whom
there is a smarter in his line in the city,
boarded the Great Western in advance of every
other paper in the city, he received the foreign jour
mails of the 50 HERALD without being unnecessarily
detained for a moment, owing TO the admirable ar
rangements Of Captain Hosken; he jumped into his
boat was rowed ashore, landed at w htehail, jumped
into a carriage, and dashed up to the Herald office
where he delivered my papers, before the Western
touched the dock. All my large and well organized
establishment Immediately set in motion from
the top to the bottom; every knew his business
and performed il well and the result OF this arrange
ment and ludicious division Of labor, enabled me TO
issue the first edition OF the Herald Extra good
digest of the news, in little more than an hour from
the receipt of the papers, about quarter Of an hour
before the :" Sun" issued their meagre affair, and at
least an hour before any Of the Wall street papers
made their appearance.
That such was the case, is known from the fact
that gentleman went round to the "Sun' Office
with an Extra Herald in his pocket and found that
their extra was not the press. My extra was
out before any other; OF the first edition printed
nearly 10000; OF the second edition many more;
and then put third edition press, TO supply the
unprecedented demand for them The :" Sun Extra
contained but three meagre items OF news besides
the list Of passengers and the log Of the ship; and OF
this they did sell quite 400 instead of 10000,
they ridiculeusly state. The demand for the Her
ald from the arrival ofhe Western up to this hour,
has been equalled in this any other country
and the papers sold freely all the city at a
shilling each This is the reward that will always
accrue to superior intelligence and industry, and
such a reward shall always endeavor to deserve
