have not the pleasure OF your acquaintance, YET
l am not unacquainted with your valuable and
valued Herald. AT home and abroad, am reader
of the Herald and here beg to notice fact
which is full of instruction, especially all news
paper editors, in the fact that in all the cities
towns and places where have been for four months
past, (and within that time have made the whole
circuit OF the northern, western, and southern
States) my attention was always attracted to the
almost universal demand for the Herald Ben

served the New York Herald was the medium of
news, OF Intelligence, of instruction, and of amuse-
ment. Here at the metropolis, the Herald is IN the
hands OF every one, male and female, Senators and
Representatives, Judges and Secretaries. Now
there Is sound, practical moral in this fact, and il
is not difficult TO search cut. The Herald is indie
pendent-lt is not under the control of any of the
Wall street clques-is editor is fearless, honest
and not controlled by narrowmlnded, corrupt specu
lators The Herald now Yields an immense moral
power, which is felt throughout the length and
breadth of these United States The great work
OF reform-reiorm In morals. politics, trade and
lousy and successfully engaged, is work worthy
the age and country, and you will find your reward
In the gratitude OF generous people. Go on, per.

abuse which exists in our land.
Not wishing to encroach upon the privileges of
your regular Washington correspondent | will only
say en- PEASANT, that the allabsorbing topic here lust
now, Is the repeal Of thar act of denominations, the
Bankrupt Law. In The House, Iavr already had
rich scenes. Speakers have given us the origin of
tins law, ITS objects, Its history how il enacted,
who were the wire-workers, who the tools, who
have been benefited, and who have not If the
Herald will give the public continuation of splendid
schedules, a la Webb, of military notoliety, we
shall soon see the end OF this law. Tom Marshall,
Col. Webb's friend, has the floor tomorrow, and a
rich treat may be expected; the galleries will be
full, while the Bankrupt law Is creating such SEN
satlon In 'he two houses OF Congress.
Next week the theatre will be changed. There
is case, under tand, pending before the Supreme
cison of Judge Wells, of Missouri, involving the
consttutionally of the law This is grave ques.
ton, and great interest is felt by bankrupts, (Co
Webb OF course included) as to the result. There
IS a great shaking among the dry bones. The Hon
John M, Krum, of St Louis, Mo, is here and is
expected TO argue the case In support of the law
Judge krum is highly spoken of here as sound
lawyer, and able in argument. This gentleman
was pointed out to me the other day in the Senate
Chamber; he is apparently quite young man. has
an intelligent, sprghtly counenance, and his phre-
biological Developments indicate a clear well ba-
lanced mind Ii is said Senator Crittenden, is to
be his opponent Ii will be interesting and able
discussion, and the court room will no doubt be
hled to overfiowlne Should the Court sustain the
opinion of Judge Wells what is 10 become of your
military friend, Col. Webb, and his certificate OF
final discharge Oh, the dear Colonel do pass him
round once more. TRIP.

argument!-Ed. Her.
