The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1842-12-31


IN his narrative, is most extraordinary Onefact is
now certain, the identity of this narrative with the
article IN the "Courer and Enquirer is perfect and
complete.
We leave the public to Judge of this awful affair,
and to wait for the rest of the evidence. AS no
copies for the newspaper press were allowed to be
taken by the Court of this extraordinary Nara
tlve," the only full correct and word for-word re-
port is only TO be found in the "Herad," as it was
taken down by our reporter from the lips of Mr..
Hoffman.
The Congressional Reports, and Correspon-
dence OF the Herald.
The accuracy and graphic character of our re-
ports OF the present interesting debates in Congress-
are, as usual, beginning to increase the movements
of our friends, and the activity of our foes Yes
terday we had an order from our Washington agent
for an increase of fty copies to the number already
taken, and our agents throughout all the large cities
are beginning to move in the same way. Our sub
scriptons from the country, with cash in advance
come IN at the rate of 30 to 80 per day.
This singular movement in favor of the Herald,
arises from It's philosophical independence of all
chqtes, parties and men, and its ability in conse-
quence thereof presenting the only correct, gra-
phc interesting record of in this country No
administration can buy us-we belong to the present
age and to future times. No party can intimidate
uswe rise above party, and only live in the regions
OF truth, fact, philosophy, and human nature
1t is very natural therefore, that constant attempts
should be made to impair the character of the He
raid, ITS proprietor, and It's principal writers and re.
Porters. The bitterness of disappointment and en-
Wy can easily account for these malicious and feeble
attempts and ameng the most mean and silly that
we have seen of late, is the attempt of one T. N.

service for his Incidence and incompetence. and

dent and his friends endeavonng to wreak his silly
vengeance upon us, in the following letter, which
he writes to an obscure paper in this city,

This is the version which Parmelee himself gives

needless for us to say, that there is not word Of

be given of its fasehood the following letter writ
