Of New HOrk-len Changes ana Decline
We have noticed the recent suspension of the
snail daily sheet called the Nao York G'ods, which
has been published the last three four years, as
the organ of Taminsny Hall 1t was always 4
miserable concern. with very limited circulation
at one time, il said, only amounting TO about
fve hundred copies daily. During its transient and
wretched existence, it had succession Of editors,
and large sums of money were expended on the poor
little thing in the endeayor TO sustain IT, and thus
enable the clique who raised the funds to Halter
themselves with the vain hope Of having sort Of
control and influence in the democratic party II Is
said that an effort Is being made to establish
another democratic paper the ruins Of the Globe,
and that il is TO be placed under the management of
Mr. Casper c. Childs, who was once the proprietor
of tho defunct paper, but sold out his interest in
good time, 20 take of himself. We have no
idea that Mr.. Childs himself will be disposed to
risk much in the proposed new paper and if those
democrats who expected to contribute the funds
are WISE they win "ook before they leap" before
they engage in an enterprise which can do no good
in the cause Of the democracy, and must end, as
other attempts Of The kind have done, after u short
of the losed journal, in stoppage of the
same for want of patronage, and loss to its pro-
jec,ors and hackers.
The Truth is the day Of mere party papers in this
commercial community, has gone by; and if an in
auiry Is made into the history of American newspa-
pers, it viii be found that political party
support has been insufficient TO keep up, for any
considerable length Of time, the existence of any of
the numerous daily papers which have been estab-
li-hed from time TO time in the city Of New ork
For the information Of those democrats who are
about investing their funds in the project for estab
fishing new Tammany Hall organ, we will briefly
glance at the history OF democratic newspapers in
this city, for the last sixty years. We do not pre-
tend to give complete list Of all the ephemeral
sheets which have existed. or the editors who have
figured for time the stage of politics. Our OBJ
ject is merely to notice the principal democratic pa
pers which have been published here during the pc
Rod referred 10.
At the time of the adoption of the United States
Constitution by this other States in 17SS there
were two political papers in the city, namely-The
-Nac f0k PGCsd, published by Samuel Loudon,
which advocated the federal side, and the adoption
III the constitution; and the Nce York Journal, by
Thomas Greeuleaf, which was anti-federal, and OPP
pos, the constitu ton Previous to the revolution
y ohm Holt, and afterwards his widow. Elizabeth
Holt published the Ner Ynk Jc,ilaai which was
Whig paper Greenleai Ne7c Igk Journal may be
considered the first democratic anti-federal paper
published in the city.
