Tho New York Herald-Its Position, Pros
perity, Circulation and Prospects In two
Hemisphercs.

poleon of the press in both hemlspheres The New
York Herald is PROFESSIONALLY the greatest and
mightest intellectual institution of civilized socie.
~ IN the present century. Look at the excitement,
the terment, the FUSS and the fury which its exis
tence, progress, power circulation and influence
cause in both the old and the new word-in Lon
don and in New York-in the grave quarterly
reviews and in the newspaper press of both CONT
nents.
1t is phenomenon in the history of civilization.
During the last month, the other side of the
ter, the London Foreign Quarterly Review" and
the London newspaper press, have endeavored &c
stop our career they did Napoleen's by all sorts
OF abuse, falsehood and solitary truth here and
ere. On this side of the water, we have an.
nounced our establishment for sale, then withdrew
i-then proposed take the benefit of the bankrupt
aw-then postponed that solemn scene of
embarrassing till doomsday-and srai ghtway the
whole newspaper press, little and great, daily and
weekly, have been in state of general excitement
and amusing etiervesence ever since. They have
stormed, and TUNED, and raved and lied, and pulled
and sworn, and abused us in all manner of ways
This most amusing, most laughable, most absurd,
most silly, most foolish excitement among the CO.
temporary newspapers in New York and elsewhere,
have produced one most astounding and curious re-
suit. The circulation of the HERALD both IN citv aud
cou try, has increased much and so rapidly since
this new broke out in London that we have
had to give large additional order to our paper
manufacturers, Tor additional supply OF paper so
as 10 be able 10 meet the requirements and de-
masds OF the community. The following is copy

The only paper in this city-we may say in the
world, which requires a supply of paper, or has a
circulation, at all approaching the Herald, is the
New York Sun, penny paper, circulating only
among the poor people, and through the lanes and
alleys the city, conducted by one Moses Y Beach,
a sort of ''cod-fsh aristocrat." From his journal
of last Saturday, we extract the following 4 show.

srR-Plea.e deliver at the Sun Office N Y fire hundred
Tedm Of paper per week for six months from the 18th of
October 1872, to be of this quality size, and weight

From these official and authentic documents, it
will be seen that the circulation of the Netc York
Herald is ALREADY nearly double that Of the Nep York
Sun, and as the Sun is acknowledged by all to be
ahead OF Its contemporaries, the Herald is ahead of
all, large and small. And, further-without saying
any thing in disParagement oil the article manufac-
tured by Mr.. III. V. Butler, who is good paper ma
ker, we will be permitted TO declare that the paper
on which the Herald is printed is far superior in
quality, IN strength, in durability, to that of any
other in the country. For three four years
have been supplied by Messrs Persse u Brooks
having nd them nearly too hundred and nifty thou
sand dollars in money, during that perod-and in all
that time, they have executed our orders with a
promptude, CELEBRITY, integrity and courtesy, with
out spot or blemish
Such are some of the first fruits of the renewal of
the moral war" against us, and our family, down
TO the very babe that cannot yet speak-a moral
war-or rather an immoral war, larger scale,
extended TO both misunderstanding out stimuli
taneousy in London and in New York, and set OIL
foot by ciiques OF the greatest reprobates and bank
rupts, that ever dlsgraced any country, or human
nature itself With private life, passed mostly in
New York for nearly twenty-five years perfectly I'M
assailable in every point-Perfectly unstained by
any weakness, or any immortality of any kind
with public lie op n, bold energetic, industrious
honest, honorable in all transactions, we have
been assailed by cote nporares of the press-and
by oiques OF nauclers and traders in religion, with
a teroclty and mahgnIty tnat makes poor old Sa
tan, down below, tremble for his laurels in wicked
ness We plant oursef on the impregnable rock OF
truth, OF honor, OF humanity, of genius, of decorum,
of pure mora g. and of indebted regon-and we
smile at their puny efforts, and trample in the very
dirt the whole confederacy of Satan, whether in
London or New York-whether in Europe or the
United Sta'es-whether in Wall street or its coun
terpart, the bsttomless pit We possess the sympa
thy of the age-we are actuated by the true spirit
of civilization and, armed with the weapons OF truth
and virtue, shall go forth conquering and TO con-
quer until the revolution be complete and morals,
religion and true philosophy shall triumph
Encouraged, therefore, by the vast increase of
our enthusiastically It's impregnabe solldlty-by
lts great resources, we now announce 10 the world
that the New YORK HERALD piii not be soid-that the
beneht OF the bankrupt law shall not be taken--(tha
was a sarcasm which they feigned not to under
s'and)-and that the original project of establishing
branches OF the Herald in London and Paris, for
the renovation OF the old world, and the future
Triumph OF the new, shall be carried out without
fail, at an early day. We value the whole estab-
llshment OF the Herald at SI5O,OO II is wholly
without encumbrance or debt, except mortgage of
$4,000 on building, worth 500 given to
Mr. Temeguo, of Fulton street., of whom il was
bought, and who receives his interest regularly.
BY purchasing this building, we live under a less
rent than we did in Ann street, and occupy about
-four times as much house-room and convenience
Out of the annual profits OF the Herald establishment,
we will be perfectly enabled to carry out original
plan OF establishing hranches In London and Paris
