Our Establishment.
The NeD York Herald establishment never was
In SO prosperous condition il is at this moment
During the last year have probably added to oul
previous extensive circulation nearly one fourth Of
the whole, making aggregate circulation, both il
Europe and America, greater than any other journa
IN existence, either in this any other country Ii
fact 1t may be really said that the Nsw York Herald
is the Times OF the United States, or the Augsbuyg1
Gazette of this continent
In reaching the high and prosperous condition in
which 1t now is both in influence and pecuniary re-
sources, we have had to wade through series o
Obstacles, raised by contemporaries of all kinds
We have been assailed by the basest foes open and
secret, that ever carried on any conspiracy in the
history OF the press. But grappled with them all
and put them down one by one, and now stand a,
the head OF Journalism in this country, beyond the
peradventure OF why or wherefore. We are en-
gagged IN adding to our corps OF correspondents At
nome and abroad, and SO great is the demand on
our columns, both for advertisements and news that
we VIII nave TO Issue, every other day, " supple
ment, IN the same way as the London Times or
Augsburgh Gazette do in Europe.
This is the result of the career of the Herald for
the last ten years, and such the reward of sound
principles and, lndomltable independence Our
prospect tor the future Is still more brilliant The
present administration OF the general gov eminent
begins new era In the foreign and domestic policy
Of the United States. 1t is adopting principles
which were advanced by the Herald years ago. in
advance OF all other journals We are glad to see
this, and are determined TO watch with great in
terest the movements Of parties and politicians
looking iorwa I'd to the succession. To the admin
stration OF Mr. Polk we will give fair and henora
BILE support We will give justice to its merits, and
point out its errors and give more faithful record
Of its doings than any other journal. The settle
ment of our foreign policy and domestic affairs,
together with the currency viii form most interest
ing subjects for discussion and debate
Thus we go, ahead of all our ccntemporar les
careless of their attempts to insult or their efforts
10 impede our prosperous career.
THE FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC CORPS AT WAsHINeTe IN.
We have observed that several of our Washingt, IN
correspondents sometimes introduce into thel r
letters notices referring to gentlemen of the diplo
matte corps residing at Washington, which often
are not marked with that courtesy with which
the representatives of foreign powers at peace with
this country, ought always TO be treated by public
journals in this free land
1t should be regarded as the duty of correspon
dent, who communicates important intelligence
from the seat OF government, to be courteous and
attentive to etiquette in speaking OF the di diplomatic
body, in articles which obtain such extensive
circulation, throughout this country and Europe as
their insertion in the Herald. This rule springs
from the natural well as the social comfy due to
this class of distinguished representatives of ether
H. r
sonally with many of these gentlemen, and a more
high minded, more liberal class Of diplomatista
is to be found than those who are now residing
Washington, representing the different soverelsns
Of Europe.
NJ de Bodisco, the Minister of Russia, is particu-
larry entitled to this commentator. We are quite
satisfied there is individual who ever represented
the Russian Emperor with more dignity and coure-
sy than M de Bodsco. He is a man of sense
and discenment, and never allows any observa.
ton to escape him disrespecnul to this country, or
its government, or people. The same maybe said
of M. Pageot, the Representative of France Of
Senior Calderon de la Barca, the Ambassador from
Spain, and oil Mr.. Serruys, the charge of Belgium.
OF Mr. Pakenham all have heard, and he is too
wel-known, an accomplished and courteous
gentleman, to require commentator.
and independent journal ought always to attend to
these small proprieties ofife, which are due to ALL
but especially the diplomatic representatives
Of foreign sovereigns at peace with this country,
residing at Washington city. They never should
be mingled up with the asperities of our political
parties
The WASHINGTON UNION NO ORGAN OF THE
PREsIDENT.-We have been very much amused by
a statement in the Senate, made by Senator on
high authority, in which the Washington Union
which has, ever since its establishment, proessed
to be the organ OF the President-is entirely repu-
dated as SUCH We understand that the immediate
cause OF this reputation is owing to misrepresen-
tation OF the Presidents views on the Oregon cues
ton. This paper is conducted with considerable
skill and energy but upon the Oregon, and many
other questions, II has never been the exponent OF
the Presidents views. In fact, the President has
organ. The journal which can with the most
proprlety assume that title is the Netc York Herald
in whose service are an industrious and skilfu
corps OF reporters at Washington, who find out and
discover the secret movements of the government,
and communicate them through the columns of the
Herald in advance OF all other journals.
We are, therefore, the organ by our own appoint.
ment, skill, diplomacy, and tact in finding out what
Mr.. Polk is about.
MIsMANAGKNENT OF THE MArs-We are con.
stanty receiving complaints from Connecticut of The
arrangements Of the mails from this city Our sub.
scribers do not receive their papers with anv sor ~
regularity, and for days do receive single cow
We sure that the fault is notn the Herald Office
and we are pretty certain that the Postmasters in
Connecticut are not to blame, for we have letter.
from them relative to the difficulty. These letter,
and other circumstances, lead to suspect that tn.
