JouRNALisM-A NEw ENTERPRIsE.-We learn
that piece OF newspaper enterprise is about to be
attempted in this city. in which Mr.. Forrest, tho
distinguished tragedian OF Metamora Hall, on the
banks Of the Hudson river, will be principal bottle
holder-we mean stakeholder-and perhaps mana
ger and hero. 1t Is new journal, which will soon
be established for the purpose Of supporting the
"ferce democratic, recently united on an extern
sive ecale in politics, and for advancing the legiti-
mate drama and melo drama, in opposiuoa to
foreign vosalists and dancers, or tragedians of all
kinds In this enterprise, we learn that Mr.. Fomay,
editor Of political journal Philadelphia, will be
one Of the chief spirits Of the new concern; and
likewise, that the well known Chevaher Wikoff,
now in Paris, will be connected with the foreign
department Of it, and especially In everything that
has reference TO ballet dancers. The enterprise,
it is understood, will be in the form of a stock
operation, Mr.. Forrest taking the major part of the
stock in the affair." and the others subscribing as
much they can afford, either in intellect labor,
or money.
This new paper, II is supposed, will appear some
time during the present autumn. Perhaps those in
teresed IN 1t may Judge II expedient to wait till
after the approaching election, IN order to ascer-
tain the precise strength of the union among the
democratic elements in this State. If the demo-
Gratis should whip the wings in this city, and
throughout the State, even IN thus city, it will
be considered favorable augury for the newspi-
per enterprises and after the election the 6,st
movement in carrying the project into execution
will be commenced, on large and imposing
scale as can be managed or understood by the pro-
jectors.
Well, we have no objection to as many attempt.

The old daily journals ef this city, now IN posses.

series Of campaigns that well enitle them to the
prominence which they hold. In connection with
the daily press. believe we are the Oldest editor
in the city. We have been attached to the daily
press OF this metropolis for nearly twenty seven
years, and may well be considered veteran in
the mighty struggles and campaigns that we have
gone through in that period Of time. II Mr.. For
rest, and his associates, Mr. Forney and Chevalier
Wiko6, come into the field, they will require all
the energy that they possessed of, "with their
pockets full Of rocks" to keep up with the present
stable Of feet racers now on the newspaper turf

This new project to etart Journal under the
