non of the Office OF Secretary OF State. AS this
speech will be one Of the most important delivered
on such subject for several years. and as IL will ex-
plain many matters OF great and universal interest
we have sent one Of our best reporters to Boston
with Instructions 10 report 1t fully and compile tely

as possible. We expect II by Friday night, and vii
probably issue 1t In extra on Saturday morning

New York
INTELLECTUAL, FINANCIAL, AND SCIENTIFIC INFLu-
ENcE OF THE HERALD IN BOTH HEMIspHEREs.- We
are positively the Napoleon OF the Press in botl
heml'phercs, There is no doubt of 1t. II is true
as any axiom in algebra. Every day affords fresh
demonstrations OF the propriety OF the designation

stability elected the reporters eHcomum ever tes-

OF Europeans
These remarks called forth by a communication
which give below, calling public attention to the
saus of the Infamous sheet referred to- the proes
sion Il character OF our ownsman, Dr. MORT We agree
with him entirely in opinion, that the professional char

rally paying bounty for the destruction of American
credit and offering reward TO Foreign adrenters and
dens to unite IN decrying and traducng the professional
an private character of men whose regulations are justly
considered the property OF country and which is
the duty of the Press to protect"
1t appeals from the Courier that the influence OF
the Herald, aud the manner in which it has been
conducted, has produced all the financial revolu-
tons which have ag'tated America and Europe du-
ring the last five years, and that it is engaged
IN efecting another revolution in the scientific and
medical world, and which, in all probabillty-if we
TO believe the Courier, it will just certainly
produce 1t is very likely that OF these ideas
relative to commanding influence, may have
been communicated to the conductor of the Courier
by those gentlemen just returned from Europe, who
holdup their hands with establishment as they de-
clare that throughout the United Kingdom and
Continent OF Europe, the only American newspaper
they could find in reading rooms, watering places
and other public resorts, was the New York He
raid!
The homage unwhugly yielded TO us by the Cou-
reris therefore quite reasonable and easily explained
But owing doubtless TO the sudden change in the
weather, producing disagreeable twinge in the calf
o his leg the conductor of that print, has been led
to couple with his complimentary illusions, some
marks which are not altogether correct or gentleman
iy. The Courier accuses us, with It's characteristic
elegance OF expression OF lying" and telling false
hoods respecting the recent financial events which
have taken place IN this country Was il a falsehood
that the United States Bank corrupt aud rotten
then, TO the Was ita falsehood that the North
American Trust Company was corrupt and rotten
Was IL a tasehood that the Baltimore Life and Trust
Company was corrupt and rottenl Was it false
hood that the State of Mississippi had repudiated its
debt Were guilty of Lying" when we pre-
dicted that the State of Pennsylvania would not pay
lis INTEREST," Were any of these great financial
truths which we have repeatedly inculcated upon
the whole world during the last six years, found to
be false IN any one particular Alas they
too true, Their melancholy reality is universally
felt and admitted We sounded the alarm We pro-
claimed the truth. We exposed and laid bare scenes
of corruption unparalleled in the history OF CONNER
cial nations We tore aside the veil from the hid
den mystery of iniquity Nor work with
out its effect The rotten scoundrels of Wall street
have been goaded to madness, because their well
concerted robberies and plundering propensites
have been revealed to the world. Trey could devour
us because we have prevented them from reducing
the midding and lower classes OF society TO begga-
~ in order to furnish themselves with funds TO swal-
low wine and gormandlze game-to cothe them
selves in scarlet and purple and riot in debauch
cry.
This is the "head and front of our offending"
This explains the rabid vruence OF the w all street
press, and the miserable who have the ar
rogance and consummate impudence TO assume the
character of representatives of the American people
and of all free men on the face of the earth =.
Never has the sacred name OF human liberty been
so basphemed as ia the foul lips of such men--men
who have tramped with undssembed lnsolence on
every principle Of recutude and honor-men who
have made the American name bye-word and re-
proach-men 10 whom the outraged justice and vio-
lated honor of our country have assigned an inheri
lance oil everlasting ntamy
These branded defamers of the American name,
call us Aliens" and foreigners" and apply us
every abusive epthet which their maliguity can
suggest. Are we more "alen" or more " foreign"
than the salnted men who frs, sang the anthem of
the tree amid the solemn old woods of this western
world Are We more alien' than the coonists OF
jamestown Are we more alien" than they who
sought an asylum here from European oppression,
and first planted the Christian religion on spots be-
fore defed by heather sacrifice Are we more
"alen" than the hardy settlers who first reclaimed
our forests and bid the untrodden Wild resound with
