The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1843-10-13

tolce al argument and display oil sense, 1t mas seldom
been equalled. New York has reason to be proud
indeed that an editor so well informed so sagaclous,
and of views so elevated, condeseends TO acknow-
ledge himself the head Of the New York press Mr..
Richie will 40 doubt think himself well schooed
in the following extract:-
1--WE commence this day our war upon the
whgs," quoth the editor OF the Richmond Enquirer
OF the 10Th as he had not bee cont nuallv st war
upon wing principles for about fifty years or more!
| What, however, most astonished us in this com
mencement, is, that he calls upon the New York
Herald formally TO help HIM on, and help him out
| The editor gravely says
I'VE attach great importance to many articles in
the New York Herald"
We beg leave most respectfully, to present this
question to the deliberate consideration of Mr. Ket-
tell, the able author OF the monied articles IN the
New York Herald, as well to ask of him verifi.
cation or contradiction OF the statement made at
the beginning OF this article, the authority of the
friend who has Just returned from the city of New
York. We ask of the New York Herald the best
estimate 1t can obtain OF the receipt of the Custom
houses as well as OF the general condition and re-
OF curiosity, but from sincere desire 10 ascertain
| the truth, and to lay t before the public.
| we agree thoroughly with MIR. ket,ell on the OPP
ressive character Of the existing tariff on the abso-
lutte necessity oil reducing II at the next session of
Congress and, ii possible, down to the compromise
| point Will Mr.. X. oblige us, still further, by
making the best estimate from the materials in his
power OF the amounts OF the revenue, which may be
calcula ed on, from The Custom House, on the basis
| OF the compromise point! We should take it as
particular favor, # he would forward us these views
in letter for publcatlon-in case he does Ist find
il convenient compatible with his Plans to throw
them into the Herald We know of no person,
within our reach, who is so well qualified 10 give us
| the desired informaton-and whose views would
carry with them much weight as his; or, we
would save him the itrouble OF making this es-
mate"
Well this is excellent: Mr.. Rltchle is just going
to begin an Anti Tariff War upon The Wings, and 10,
Cassius, help me, Is the cry, or | sink.
To us New Workers, it is one of the most amusing
spectaces IN the world TO such presses as the
richmond ENQUIRER, the Washington Globe, and
the Albany Argus adopting the money articles of
the Newly DIRK Herald as grave articles to eleconeer
with, and to help Van Buren, along. Too lazy
themselves, or having TOO much respect Tor them
selves to manufacture statistics for their parry, they
resort TO the ctOns and fasehoods of an article so
VIGOROUSLY beneath contempt in the city where
they are made, that journal, either whig or loco
foco, pays the least attention TO them. They are
unnotlced and unanswered here, because it is not
supposed that there are any people, even among the
readers OF Mr.. Richie, that can in the least credit
them. AS present example OF their estimation
here, look at illinois stocks, which manufactured
letter Ia The money article OF the Herald attempted
to cry up, day two after the arrival of the Aca
dla, but which, Notwithstanding the putting there,
have fallen seven per cent.
Can II be possible that the well educated agricul-
tnral population OF Virginia are to be duped with
New York-made statistics, that neither whig nor
locofoco press here In the city held in sufficiently
decent respectto notice? Is the Charipari stuff of
New YOpk popuace good enough for the Virginia
planter! But with this stuff Mr.. Richie is going to
commence the war, and to act out his part in keep
Ing up that stupendous fraud which has Tor twenty
years rded IN the dust the trade and the
OF one OF the most naturally and physically gifted
States of the Union
Virginia, however, must sooner or later burst
through the night in which Mr. Richie would cloud
her This farclca effort calling upon the satiris
and chartrari journal of a populace to enlighten
Virginia planters, is the cyownng effort of the rdi
dlculous, as our ot1a should be their diet Vlr-
gina has mines and water power that cannot always
put up with such deluson. Her own negroes, that
rise or fail in value, manufacturers go up or go
down IN the vicinity of Richmond, will put an end
mouths OF manufacturers demand them at home,
will stop it. Nothing indeed, but the peculiar ge-
mus OF Mr.; Rltchle, as editor OF a widely circua-
tug journal, could have kept these great facts so
many years from the observation of Virginians -.
and the day when they are emancpated from bis
pr6judices, and his Influence will be OF much
lue 10 them as was Mr.. Jefsrsons Declaration OF
Independence Till then, the State has the palsy.
II is a living -dead-man.
So, then, BOBBY, are you going to burst your
breeches altogether! The seal cannot be rallied
| from of the bond, nor can it be counterfeited.
The stale trick OF pronounclng exclusive news manu-
pictured, has long since been exploded, and with it
| the envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharita-
HenesS,' OF those who endeavor to dscredlt that
which they have neither the industry the brains
TO rival Amidst all this billingsgate, there is but
statement, and that is, that Illinois has fallen
7per cent On the day we published the letter of
the commissioner, the stock sold at 80, to-day it
closed at 81 That our statistics " are unanswered"
is true and that they unanswerable, is equally
true. In relation 10 the people of Virginia. their
intelligence and good sense have long led them to
look TO Mr.. Richie with respect, which they
nevern the smallest degree can entertain for New
York abolidonis editor, although the disappointed
collateral proprietor Of plantation at the south.
This latter circumstance is the of the vitupe-
ration. "Her own negroes rise or fall in value"
quoth the BOBBY. Why did he not write "my
own % What revolution In opinion will not
sixty negroes effect!
