FRESH ADVERTISEMENTS EVERY DAY.-The

FRESH ADVERTISEMENTS EVERY DAY.-The
advertisements in the Herald are fresh every
day. We receive none over days length,
payable in advance. BY this system. the read
ing of the advertising columns in the Herald is
rendered as fresh, interesting and useful, to tho
Inhabitants of New York, as the foreign news,
or the telegraphc intelligence brought from all
the country round
We have adopted this system, for the purpose
OF producing economy, and of tightening the
burden and expense of advertising to the public.
The advertising business in this city has been,
heretofore, system of waste, extravaganza,
folly and absurdlty. Look at the immense blan-
ket sheets, with their immense columns crammed
full of old advertisements, some three, or six,
nay, even twelve months old No one reads
them--no one ever looks at them. Paper, type,
and work, are thrown away How different are
the advertisements OF the Herald, which are
fresh, new and useful on the day when they
appear, thus economsing the time and money
of the advertising reader.
In this Geographic age, when thunder and
lightning, or rather the lightning without the
thunder, is brought down and harnessed to the
press, like horses to wagon, no other system
than that which we have adopted is suitable to
the age /; namely, causing advertisements to
appear once for day, and fresh every day, in
stead of inundating the public with trash year
or two old.

The SENATE AND THE EDITOR OF THE UNION
There is some probability that our highly re-
spected contemporary, Mr.. Richie, ofthe Union,
will be once moro permitted on the floor of the
Senate, Mr.. Mason having introduced reso-
luton for that purpose. We regret, however,
that the resolution was not acted upon immedi-
ately; for, although we have been obliged, on
many occasions, to speak somewhat harshly Of
Mr. Richie, we have filial regard for the old
gentleman who presides over the government
organ. Sc him on the floor of the Senate, by
all means, poor old soul.

THE FREE BANKS OF NEW YoRK-We hope
and trust that some member of the Legislature
will offer a resolution calling for all the cor
respondence, communications, information, and
documents, which may be in any Of the public
offices in Albany, connected with the organiza-
ton, progress, and explosion of every bank IN
the State. There is no doubt after reading the
Conptroller's able report, which we gave onTues-
day, that a vast quantity of valuable information
on those swindling and dishonest institutions is
now in the hands of some of the public officers
in Albany, that ought to be known to the whole
community. 1t is time that stand should be
taken against the gross corruption and dishonesty
which the free system of banking is beginning to
develope in this State 1t processes to be founded
on State stocks but any basis but gold and silver
for currency, is utterly futile and dishonest to
the community at large. There is now in the
United States, probably, sum Of one hundred
millions Of specie, and the whole of our banking
system ought to be reformed and brought down
to specie paying system; and no bank ought to
be allowed to exist in any out of-the-way place,
or anywhere but in large cities, with bills Of no
smaller denomination than five dollars. The
multitude of banks now in existence, issuing one,
two and three dollar bills, only represent null
titude of swindlers-a multitude Of dishonest
men, a multitude of scoundrels deserve
nothing less than the State prisons or peniten-
tlaries Of the country. A great portion Of the
working community are shaved, and shaved, and
shaved, from the beginning OF the year to the
end of it--from the rising to the setting of the
sun-by those rascally institutions in this and
other States. The free banks in this State, thus
far, and those of recent establishment, are some
of the worst in the lot We trust, therefore,
there will be rigid and searching investigation
made on this subject, in the present session Of the
Legislature

THE CRY GovERNMKNr.-We understand that
a number of politicians, of the cheap and nasty
order, are preparing to 60 to Albany-perhaps
some have gone-for the purpose ofprocuring an
alteration in our cit charter, so as to throw the
charter election forward to the same period
when we hold the fall election-in November.
1t is a sort of wing movement. The prospects
of that party, under the policy of taking hold of
the skirts of General Taylor, are Frightening;
and they think they could get the whole corpo.
ration into their hands, by holding the city cleo
ton on the same day that the Presidential cleo
ton will be held
Now, we doubt whether the mass Of the
people of this city, and particularly those who
pay taxes, are favorable to blending those cleo
tions together The motive in separating them
was to give the people an opportunity to canvass
sngly for members of the corporation, and to en-
able them to elect men to Office on their ndi-
vidual merits, as far as regards the city govern
ment, and not blend them into a mass, with the
affairs of the country at large. We want an
amended charter, but not In this shape or form.

Mr.. HALE's SrKEcH ON THE Waive pup
lished, in yesterdays Herald, the speech OF Mr..
Hale, of New Hampshire, in the Senate OF the
United States, on the bill introduced by General
Cass, TO add ten regiments to the present MILL
tary force of the United States, for the purpose
of prosecuting the war with Mexico. Mr.. Hale
was unfortunate in the time he selected for
delivering his sentiments on the momentous
question which is now causing so much excite
ment and agitation throughout the country He
spoke the day after Mr.. Calhoun did, on the
same subject, who made one Of the most bril-
liant displays of eloquence, profound intelli-
gence, sound argument and logic, which that
distinguished orator ever delivered-and by far
the best speech that has yet been made, in or out
of Congress, since the annexation of Texas. The
contrast between Mr.. Calhoun's and MIR. Hale's
speech, very great, and cannot fail to strike the
most superficial observer. The one is character
lied with honest conviction, argument, and
grounds for every position taken; while, in
every line OF the other, you can read abolition,
fanatcism, and party spirit, running reckless and
wild. It is a palpsbe evidence of the length to
which the spirit of party will lead man, ire
spec,ive of all consequences to himself or his
country. Can Mr.. Hale suppose, for moment,
that his violent denunciations of Mr.. Polk, the
President of the United States-hls stale and
ridiculous assertion that the war was commenced
expressly for the extension Of slavery-can have
the remotest tendency TO promote the abolition
of the institution by means Of which he has
reached place in the Senate Of the United
States! Can he fatter himself that his refusal
to sustain the honor and dignity Of his country
in the hour of her emergency, and in the day OF
trouble, will release single slave from bondage,
or hasten the abolition movements 1t cannot.
He will injure the cause he attempts to sustain,
more than he will benefit it, by the course he
has seen fit to adopt. The people are narrowly
watching the course of their representatives in
Congress and hereafter, when we shall be in
the enjoyment of peace-when the passions of
all parties shall have subsided-the cool and dis
passionate historian will refer to the public acts
and votes of every man in the present Congress,
and comment on them as they deserve. Let Mr..
Hale, and such other representatives as are in
clined to follow his example, reflect on this
for the year ls4s will be reference year for
quarter of century to come.

LAWYERS AND LIBELs.-We have frequently al
luded to the annoyance occasioned by pettitog-
ging lawyers, in bringing frivolous suits against
newspaper proprietors, merely for the sake of the
fees and other items of black mail and we pro-
posed a remedy to correct that annoyance. This
remedy was to exclude the names of all lawyers
engaged in such petty SUITS from the reports pub
lished in the journals so annoyed.
This remedy we mean to pursue on our own
account, and we have, therefore, furnished, con-
fidentially and privately all the reporters of this
journal, with a complete list of lawyers, and other
pettifoggers their clients, their witnesses, and,
also, all JUDGES, who have decided wrongfuly
in those suits of libel, in any mode or shape, and
who have exhibited malevoence or ill-will to-
wards this establishment. Such men will
neither be reported, nor mentioned, in the
columns Of this journal, either in law
reports, or in those of public meetings, if
they should speak as politicians, or in
the Legislative bodies of any kind; neither shall
any advertisement, for no amount Of money, be
ever taken from any of those persons, or their
aiders or abettors, and published in our adver-
tlslng columns, in any manner.
Whenever anything is said in this journal, in
furious to any individual in the way of business,
there is every disposition to correct it, on pro-
per representation being made to the conductor.
There is no desire on our part to libel, or abuse,
or do any injury, to any private person, or even
to any of public character, compatible with our
duty towards ths public, IN sny point of view ];
but of all lawyers and pettifoggers, private
catalogue has been made out, Of all concerned
in those annoysnces, and 1t will be adhered to
by this journal.
This is the hest and most effectual remedy to
corr.c. such annoyances perpetrated towards the
press. If every newspaper conductor, through.
out the country, would adopt the same plan,
without any other general action on the subject,
but merely from their own volition, the news
paper conductors throughout the Union would
teach those pettfogging lawyers, clients, wit
nesses and Judges, a new lesson in the mat
ter of proper conduct towards the independent
