NEWSPAPER ENrERrRIsE.-Th newspaper enter
prise of which we have given specimens during the
last ten days. has created some curious sensations
among certain persons of the community, that may
cad to some amusing results hereafter.
In the first place we have had vast accession to
circulation in the city, which is now greater than it
has been since the establishment of the paper.
We have also had variety of applications from the
merchants to advertise for them by the year upon
the same plan which the large journals in Wall street
have done, but in almost every instance we I'M
der the necessity Of refusing to have any thing to do
with that kind of business The only wealthy COM
merclal house of any importance that we advertise
for by the year that ofMessrs f. X Collins Il Co.,
and the only reason we do so for them is the fact
that throughout the whole of the moral war, and
| the persecution which the combined press waged
against u.s. they stood by against all threats and
all thunders. In relation to the commercial paro-
mage of the commercial community, we are per-
fecty independent of it. We do not care for their
patronage; we care nothing for their advertising
room for, and, indeed, more than we can sometimes
get into the paper. That kind of advertising is ge-
nerally of the worst description; and we would
much rather have the short, sweet, good advertise
ments from the great mass OF the traders and deal
ers in stores, and such other members of the COM
munity than from any of the banks or Wall street
fnanciers or great spectators, who will run up bills
yearly to large amount, and then take the benefit
of the act, or run away or blow up-specimens of
which we have recently seen. BY the by, perhaps
when the size of this city increases and its popula
ton comes to be nearly million, we shall have
to double our sheet in order to meet all the
advertisements which will flock to us, the same as
the Times does in London but, at present, we
choose to conduct business upon the most strict
and correct principles, and every day we refuse a
great mass of advertisers, because they do not
come up to our prices-aRd particularly great COM
mercial advertisers, who worth nothing.
4 So much upon that point. In the recent extraor-
binary specimens of our enterprise, those who have
been most benefited are the papers of Boston
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other large towns il
the neighborhood; and yet these papers, with som.
very nconsiderable exceptions, talk OF and publish
the very news which we have furnished them, as i
it was all obtained at their own expense, withou
giving any credit to the source from which they hat
gratutously received it, The meanness and rapa
city of these provincial journals are quite charac
teristc; but we shall take care, hereafter, in send
ing early news by slips, to distinguish the sheel
| from the goats, for we can tell them we are onl,
at the commencement of this new system of enter
prise, and that although we have given an impulse
to the movements Of the newspaper press in thi
city, and country, too, for the last eight years, tina
have surpassed the progress made in fifty year
previously, mean, in the next eight years 10 sur
pass even our own efforts. We are gradually
organizing system of newspaper enterprise, whcl
will astonish them still more than they have beer
astonlshed; and we are combining the elements O
intelligence upon commercial affairs, upon litera
ture, and upon every thing connected with rea
life, that will oustrp every thing Of the kind tina
ever has been seen in this country in newspape
enterprise and intelligence.
