Progress OF the Great Revolution Of the Pre-
sent Age--The Presidency and the Press.

We are in the midst o. a revolution-we are IN a
state of iransition-we all undergoing radical
change in almost every element OF human society,";
commerce, trade, finance, manufactures, literature
politics. religion, and the newspaper press are under
going this wonderful and rapid development OF ne"
and astounding elements. The bench, the puP''
the bar, the egi lative hail. the llrooni' 'he news
paper press yea Great Boz himself All unite III
indicating this social moral and intellectual revolu-
ton.
But perhaps one of the greatest evidences OF this
holv ond olo,;ous movement from evil TO good
from the influence ofintrigue 10 the power OF intel
lect can he seen in the singular war which has been
waved for wears past by the Wall street newspaper
press against the character of the penny or cash
press of all the large cities In this branch Of the
revolution, of the nineteenth century,we have taken
the front rank and accordingly we have, like every
rnaster-sprit of every age, from Socrates downward,
10 bear the brun, of the battle and meet the caum
mics of expiring passions, as best we may Here is
curious sample from the leading Wall street jour.

article to satisfy the most sceptcal OF the mighty
change which is working in every element of soce-
~, and particularly in the newspaper press, that v
lag soul OF new and happy age, such as the world
never yet has seen.
We understand that the whole, or nearly the
whole cash press, called the "penny press" in our
large Atlantic cities, are either out or coming out 10
support Of John Tyler and his accomplished admit

nearly accomplished their mission in the progress of
the age, and rapidly returning TO nobody and
nothingness. They were the advocates and'support-
ers OF system Of boated credt-of an inflated pa
per cuuency-,hat has debased public morals-made
scoundrels of honest men-multipied deception-co-
vered society with vas, crust of corrupton-and
almost degraded this glorious country before the ma.
tons Of the earth. But happy and glorious
change is coming over the land Liberty
and morality have Broken out in the right
places, and a newspaper press has been
established, supported, cherished and upheld by the
people. that will unite its vast and multiplied ener.
ges with the Executive government, nd sweep
away, at once and forever, that influence and that
portion OF the press, which has filed the country
with bankrupts and broken banks-foy and mise
ry-aristocratic pretensions and demoralized con-
duct.
With regard 10 our poor SELF we ask nothing of
President Tyler or any or parry. Our es-
tablishment, with industry, yields us an income sui
ficient TO satisfy our wants and wishes. II is
true we mean IN May next TO enlarge our Print
ing Establishment, but 1t is principally TO ena.
bic usto publish series of Periodicals, in or.

literature and science. Aspecimen OF this purpose
we have already given in the New YoRK LANCET,
which has already circulation of nearly 5000 copies
IN a SIX weeks existence. Ii the President of the
United States, or Doctor Btandreth of Broadway,
senis an advertisement to the Herald, they get the
worth OF their money, and the advantage of our vas,
circulation. Tney and all others are welcome TO
