the present month. Mr.. Goodwin, favorably
Post, has issued prospectus of a new Demo-
cratic paper, TO be called the Morning Post. 1t
is to be two cent paper, and published on The
cash principle | know not what the prospects
or means of Mr.. Goodwin may be, but this Il
know, that he brings to the paper an able pen,
industrious habits, and unbending integrity. II
will be an able and respectable paper, because
Mr. G. is incapable of conducting any other,
and will receive the unanimous support Of the
Democratic party in this city; but still doubt
of its success. 1t is remarkable fact that, not
wihstanding the Democrats are the majority in
this city, and generally have been, yet they
have never been able to support Democratic
morning paper. Not one of them has ever been
able to support itself without the aid of the
General Committee, or som extraneous con-
tributions. This has been the case from the
time the Citizen was published by Cheatham
down to the New Era, inclusive consequently,
the prospect of an additional paper to those
which are now published, and which have rick
city existence is not very fattering.
Besides this, Mr.. Slamm, the former editor
OF the New Era, has issued proposals to publish
two cent paper, in support of Democratic
principles. What his prospects may be know
not but the opinion here is that they are by
no means hattering. Mr.. S. has no reputation
for learning, capacity, or talents, as an editor i
AMI, judging fom the columns of the New Era,
while under his direction, there is very little to
hope from his discretion, or regard to those
great principles of truth and equity which
should govern the conduct of high-minded
editor. ! have not the least expectation that it
will succeed, unless Mr.. S. has more means
than generally fall to the lot of the editorial
tribe He will take off some of the support
heretofore given to the New Era, and the result
will be that both of those papers must inevita-
bly, fail. Notwithstanding the New Era has
had the patronage of the Common Council, and
the almost united support of the Democratic
party, it has been kept in existence with great
difficulty and should it fail of receiving the
support of the Corporation, it must inevitably
die before next January With the intelligent
and rejecting portion of the Democracy it has
no influence, and they feel little or no interest
in its success; and should it die, 1t will go
down 10 its grave, "unwept, unhonored, and
unsung."
We want in this city an able Democratic
paper, which will give President Tyler and his
Administration hearty support. There are
several which give him but sideway support.
and although they sometimes speak well Of hin
and his acts, yet some being neutral and others
federal prints, they do not come con dnlore up
to the good work. The time has come when
his friends should speak OUT maniully and bold
ly, and, without any hesitation, call men and
things by their right names-follow the example
of the Madisonian, and show up in their true
colors the base conduct of the enemies of the
President. What has he or they to expect or
fear from such course? The hreing merce-
nary papers which assail him should be met
with proper spirit, and, if necessary, the swar
should be carried into Africa" and the wicked
plans of the consplrators, "to head off Captain
Tyler" should be exposed to the scorn and in
dignation of an insul,ed nation. Let the People
understand the cabals and plots of his enemies,
the would-be-eaders of the great political par
ties, and they would frown Indignantly upon
them and drive them from the high places
which they now disgrace. In few days !
hope to see such paper In this Commercial En-
porium; the patriotic Of every political party
will join in its support, and it would be instru-
mental in bringing together the true Democrats
Of New York, who are now scattered among
the different political parties We under
stand that just such paper is about to be
started. -ED.
1t is also rumored that the Evening Star is
to be revived as two cent paper, devoted to the
support of Henry Clay. The friends of this
gentleman, doubling the sincerity OF the Courier
and Enquirer. the american, and Tribune,
are determined to have paper which Is de-
voted soul and body to the interests OF Harry OF
the West" It may be started and continued
for short time, but it will inevitably prove a
failure. The Wings have no money to spare
for such project, and least of all TO get up
new paper, when they have already one too
many.
A singular event has recently taken place IN
the Young Mems General Wing Committee.
In the hall where they usually hold their meet
ings, the busts Of Harrison, Clay and Seward
were placed over the speakers chair AT re-
cent meeting it was moved and carried unanl-
mously that the bust Of Governor Seward should
be REMOVED! 1t is difficult to say what partlcu-
lar act of the Governor has given these young
men offence, except his want OF adhesion to
Mr. CLAW. If this is the head and front of his
offending, and he persists in 1t, he may yet
give his old friends some trouble in this State.
They intend to drop him at the next election,
and run Bradish or Collier in his place; but
nndnr-tand his frirnls are IL iermlned not 10 let
