THE NEW YORK HERALD.
FUTURE MOVEMENTS.

Of six months terminated, we have wcrd to say
on the past management and future prospects OF
this Journal.
During the canvass that has Just terminated in
favor of Mr.. Polk-from the very moment that the
candidates were placed before the people, we have
endeavored 10 the fullest extent to present to the
public correct views Of ihs movements going on
On both s'dss-ful reports OF all important m~es.ss
and correct returns from the various elections
with independent, philosophical analyses Of every
thing that had any tendency to throw light on
contest that involved such momentous interest.
We believe that every position which we assumed
every view which we offered. and every posi-
ZION on which we ventured, have been in great de-
gree accurate, and been verified by the actual re-
snt 1t would seem also that the public have been
satisfied with our abors as an independent journal
Isl in all those respects, for at this moment the cir
culalon Of The Herald, both daily and weekly, is
fifty per cent beyond what it ever has been at any
former period, and exceeds the aggregate circula-
tion OF more than one hall Of the daily press OF
New York In the course of the last year we have
risen from an aggregate circulation OF % 900 to near
ly $1,000 copies-one half weekly and half daily
an extent OF patronage which never could have
been received unless there was some merit-some
talent--some industry-some accuracy displayed
in the columns Of such journal
We have reason therefore to be satisfied with
this mark OF public appreciation upon the course
we have heretofore pursued; and regards the flu
ture, we can promise the American communities,
spread over this vast republic, that we are making
preparations even to surpass, in every element and
in every point, what we have already achieved
In the approaching session of Congress- and in the
next few months, important movements will be
made, and the onward progress Of the country will
require record commensurate with its rapidity
and strength. We preparing, therefore, to sur
pass even all former effort in our newspaper move
ments, connected with public affairs, political move
ments the progress of literature. the fine arts, and
everything which is the subject Of journalism in
the United States. AT the approaching session of
Congress wevhall have reporters stationed, of the
very first character and responsibility. both private
and general, capable OF giving our readers more
accurate, more comprehensive, and more indepen-
dent view Of the various movements OF men and
parties, than any other journal in this city, and Tar
beyond any mere political journal OF the day. The
party journals of both sides are utterly incapable
Of accomplishing this duty. On one side all is
seen through a jaundiced eye, and on the
other you have nothing but reiteration of fulsone
euogy on the President, the party, and their policy
We mean to give correct and authentic history
Of the movements of the various cliques in connec-
ton with the action and public purposes of the
new President, and we think we are better able 10
do this impartially and to exhibit more fully the
progress Of the new administration than sny other
journal in the country. So also in regard to any.
other thing connected with the progress of society
in the United States. The movements of new
parties will also be attended to, and every thing
furnished In the most complete, independent, faith
full and impartial manner.
Our establishment is at this moment in all its
appointments more complete and satisfactory than
that Of any other in this country, either or at
any former period. The patronage of the Amer
can public has enabled US to encounter any ex-
pense and to attempt any enterprise that is feast
Bile and probable, and useful to the community
We therefore return our thanks for the unpre-
cedened patronage we have received from the
American people, and we shall endeavor to indi-
cate our sentiments their generosity by endeavor
ing even to surpass what we have already done, in
our future course.
The AMERICAN REPUBLICANS - THEIR NEW
MovEMENTs.-S the result of the recent election,
we observe that a number of recent wing papers in
Albany, Boston and Baltimore are coming out and
declaring themselves for this new party, and al
ready organizing for the election OF 1913. II seems
that in Baltimore of the recent wing papers
that have just come out, boasts OF extraordinary
increase of circulation under the feeling of the
moment. We have no doubt that, generally, the
American Republicans will absorb all the frag-
menis and floating pieces of the recent whig party,
W. ich NAV now nrohahIu he said IN he dead and
buried. These developments will, probably, take
place principally in the large cities, where there is
an Irish population, with plenty of Catholic
churches, to form points Of attack and annoyance.
But we doubt very much whether, in the interior
OF the country, the American Republicans can do
much. In the INTERIOR the strongest fresh forma
ton is that Of the abotionists, and although the
wings, under the irritation OF the moment, may
raise a great cutlery against the abolltionists, yet
we have no doubt good many Of them will
tall into the ranks Of that third party, and that
in the coming years, they will increase largely in
the free States.
Yet is very singular that these two party for
mations-the "natves" in the large Atlantic cities
aud the abotonsts in the agricultural districts, are
formed on absolutely antagonistlc principles. The
natives are opposed to giving foreigners right to
vote, and declare that their purpose is to shut them
out altogether. Well, be il so. On the other hand
the abolitonists declare that their purpose is to
give political and civa liberty TO the black race-to
all Neutrality-suspicious. distinction Of country OF
