The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1846-07-31
Our Foreign Correspondencc-sIand
Against America.

The readers of the Netc York Herald will per-
ceive that we are carrying out the arrangement
we promised some time since, in giving a series
OF foreign correspondence, on large and extern
sive scale. Our arrangements are not perfected
altogether; but as the proprietor of this journal has
proceeded toEurope for the express purpose full
lycariying out his intentions in this respect, we
peci before long to present our readers with
gular correspondence from all parts of Europe,
which will eclipse every attempt OF the kind
heretofore made this side of the Atlantic.
The extraordinary amount OF patronage which
this journal is receiving, justi6es us in straning
every nerve to put it on a footing that will defy
competition. We mean what we say. This days
paper contains highly interesting and impor-
tant letter from our regular correspondent in Vi
emma, and one from Chiapas and the Herald of
last Monday contained letters from Paris Flo
renee, Cuidad Real, and Matamoras.
Our correspondent in Vienna speaks truly Of
the unpnncipled means that are resorted to in
Europe TO Willy and abuse the United States and
our institutions. We have long been cognzant of
this system OF misrepresentation, and are well
convinced of the spirit that puts it in motion.
The truth IL, as we have on many occasions sta
ned, we are perpetual Stumbling block and eye
sore 10 the governments of Europe. We have,
in an inconceivably short space of time, grown
from the stature OF an infant in swaddling clothes,
10 that of a full grown giant, who threatens to
swallow. in a moment, all the pigmy monarchies
of the old world. Our growth has been favored
and increased by the institutions under which we
live. We have inhaled from our infancy the
breath OF freedom, aud that, too, in an unstinted
quantity, and have experienced no check to- the
development of our mental aud physical facul-
ties. Hence followed our rapid rise and present
greatness.
Iii no, so in Europe
Borne down and oppressed by arbitrary laws
and excessive taxation, the tollng millions have
been slaves Cor centuries, and will remain so for
centuriesonger, unless the moral influence of our
people and our institutions shall awake them to
knowledge of their rights, and wake them to a
struggle to asser, them. Thus influence is silently
but surely working its way, in spite of the efforts
OF all the lords and nabobs in creation to prevent
it. Their paid organs and presses may caumniate
us and malign us much as they please
This abuse is salt to our soup. Facts
are stronger than any logic they may use. We
have the stern reality to produce: and if their
logic and misrepresentation can convince Ameri-
cans that their country is no, free and independ-
$nt, and powerful, and tina, too, so much that the
creates, OF their European monarchs have, ere
this, been glad TO court its friendship and dread
ats enmiy, then all we say is, that history is
table, and the thirteen original States Of America
are British colonies still.
But II u not to Americans that these misrepre-
sensations are directed, but to those whose privi-
