movement IN the Svests
One of the most interesting and important move
ments has recently taken place in Buffalo, that has
ever been witnessed there since the contemplated
settlement Of Grand Island by the Jews, the great
failure OF Benjamin Rathbun, the burning Of the
Caroline, or any other deeply exciting and intensely
Interesting event that has occurred there during the
present century. The details of this most extraor
binary movement appear TO run in this wise =
A short time since the following notice appeared
in one or more OF the Buffalo papers, in relation to
the New York Herald
The Executive COMMITTEE Of the Young Mems AssO-
ciation Of the city OF Buffalo, having passed a resolution
Of which the following is a copy" Resolved, That the
President be requested to call a meeting of The Associa-
ton, Tor the purpose Of obtaining an expression OF their
opinion as to the ~Propriety oftaking the New York Her
add do, in compliance with the request contained in
will be a meeting of =" The Young Mems Association Of
the city ofBuifslo," atthe Lecture Room OF said Associa-
ton, on Saturday evening. the 10th instant, at O'CLOCK.
w. L G. SMITH, President"
This simple, modest, and unpre:ending notice, 1t
appears, stirred up all the moral, financial. social,
political, religious, satanic, and all other elements
that exist in Buffalo, with its literally floating popu-
lation OF 1000 souls the priests, the lawyers, the
fnanciers, the doctors, the brokers, the bankers, the
mechanics, the m merchants, the white men and In.
dams, the mixed breeds, rich and poor, honest and
dishonest, moral and immoral, all ages and sexes,
have set themselves sedulously to work to discus the
great, the exciting, the intensely interesting and all.
absorbing question, "shall the New York Herald be
read, or shall it not p One of the results of this
agitation and excitement, has been the getting up OF
a counter movement, and a counter notice to the
above, in manner and form as folows -
"wHO ARE THE ~DICTATORs7

sage reasoning ofthe moralists who shall dictate the kind
CT reading best ft,ed to the morals of this community.
At which time il is proposed that a Censor be appointed
to regulate the quality and quantity Of reading each
member shall enjoy"
From this, and various similar movements in diff
f.rent parts of the world, it seems that the charac-
ter, the influence, the power, the intelligence, the
system ofmorals and finance, and every thing else
pertaining to the New York Herald, combined, is
becoming one of the most interesting and exciting
questions of the age. And we seriously doubt,
whether the singularly stirring and extraordinary
theories Of Professor Lyen, the great geologisf, rela.
tive to the upheaval and subsistence OF the earth and
its baked crust, its age, duration and destruction
the new magnetic philosophy of Richard Adams
Locke-the prophecies and calculations of Miller in
relation to the end Of the world in 1874, and the
speedy approach of a new state of society and ex-
istencc under the Millenium-the ultimate success
of Sir Robert Feel in carrying out and pcrfecting his
new financial and commercial policy-the precise
situation and s~ufferings of the wives of the British
officers in Affghan-the rapid spreading of Mormon
principles, and increase Of Mormon converts to Joe
Smiths great empire in the west-the state of coon
hunting in Texas-the prospects Of the war in India
the chances of success possessed by Henry Clay
and Martin Van Buren,, for the next presidency
the right of search-the sugar question in France
the Instruction in Rhode Island-the completion
Of the Thames Tunnel-the disputed election in the
Sixth Ward-the state Of morals ia Manchester or
even the result Of the war in China, between the
British and the brother of the sun and moon, with
the seven stars thrown in for cap ornaments, can,
by any possibility, exceed the intense interest now
felt, and that will continue to be ielt the whole of
this century, in this most important and absorbing
question:" Shall the New York Herald be read,
or shall it not be read
Early this morning, We expect by Pomeroy's un.
rivalled Express a decision, with a report of the
debate. An Extra will be issued Immediately on its
receipt.
