OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES allce JuOn Mitchell ven
turcd to cr'tcise Marcy's letter on the Kosz.a
case. in his speech ut the Broadway theatre the
Van Barren Journals aud the organs of the al
miuistration have been pursuing him ia full
cry, ana with as much keenness aud perseyer-
aucc as ever pack of hounds hunted a fox or q
deer
It was peculiarly proper for . foreigner,
and especially such a foreigner as Mitchell
to express his opinions upon this letter,
which met his view just as he set his feet
upon our free shores. He had every right
to enter his protest against the double
faced. Janus like. eqiivocal document and to-
assume that it was not American in its spirit
and tendency. 1t was humbug clap-trap,
electoncering paper, intended to catch the Irish
and German vote for the Marcy and Van Buren,
faction in The late election in this State. Marcy
saw that Captain IDgraham had performed
popular act and he determined to take the wind
our OF his sails by seeming to stand by him and
Koszta. while at the same time he left the letter
open to totally different construction, when.
the election was over and the temporary object
was gained or lost. All the points OF any value
in il are stolen from Webster, but 30 obscured-
ana complicated with other matters as to de-
prive them OF The perspicuity and force of 1.-The
expoupder of the Cousttution.o Websters
manifesto was clear and lucid, and had but one
obvious meaning. and his arguments were based
upon sound principles This was what became
the representative OF a free republic. But
Marcy's letter was like the ambiguous state pa
pers OF European dcspots and it's counterpart
might easily be found among the diplomatic
notes Of the minister Of the Gear. 1t was
piece OF political demagoguism unworthy Of
an American statesmen twas intended to. de-
ceive, as can be proved under Marcys own
hand and it argues much for the sagacity of
Mitchell that he at once discovered the cheat,
and equally for his manly candor that he ex-
posed it.
The Van Buren, organs complain bitterly Of
his expose and utter terrible denunciations
but they do not suggest what is to be done with
him. They offer no practical proposition to stop
his mouth or put down his paper hereafter.
Why do they not go to Washington and get a
bill passed by Congress to make it : felony"
for John Mitchell to speak or write anything
about Marcy or the government? Let them do
this, aud Danish him into exile at once. 1t is
true We have no Botany Bay or Van Dieman's
Land to send him to. But he can be ostra-
cised to the upper regions Of Salt River,
somewhere about its head waters and kept
there till another agent with slice from the
Irish Directory. is sent to deliver him from
captivity, and under the shadow Of the star
spangled banner, bring him back in triumph to
the great Empire City" Of i" the land of the free
and the home of the brave"
BA1sAM FOR THE CABINET SpoIIsMEN.-One
of the Cabinet scavengers at Washington says
in it's dirty columns that well-informed news
paper men in New York represent the circula-
ton Of the HERALD as rapidly declining. The
circulation Of the HERALD is increasing and
has been increasing during the last year more
than it has ever done since the day of it's first
establishment Our growth is a natural pro-
cess Like the rising of the tide, or the pro-
gress Of vegetation. it IS natural, constant, and
inevitable, keeping pace with the growth of our
population and Of public enlightenment. AT
this moment two or three daily journals de-
pend for their existence on the impossibility OF
our fast printing presses enabling rs to print rs
many papers as we could circulate. fit were in
our power to print sufficient number ofcopies
of the HERALD within certain hours in the morn
ing, we could add ten or fifteen thousand to our
present circulation in few weeks. and take an
equal number from the other daily journals
around us. But although we have the fastest
presses now in existence, there is a physical
impossbiity in our meeting the demand for
the HERALD.
However we are in hopes that the celebrated
inventor, Mr.. Hoe who is now engaged in max
ing experiments of very remarkable charac-
ter will be enabled in short time to construct
for US machinery capable Of printing with
case and comfort eighty or hundred thousand
sheets within a certain period of time every
morning. Mr. Wilkinson, another ingenious in
ventor IN The newspaper press line, is also en-
gagged in q similar experiment. Several par
ties are like wise busy with experiments in ste
reotyping, under the conviction that the intro
duction OF this system in modified form might
enable daily journal such as the New York
HERALD to multiply its power Of issue four, five
or six times, within certain number OF hours.
We trust and hope that some OF those expert
mepts may succeed because the demand for a
supply of the HERALD from an intelligent COM
munity is increasing more rapidly than on any
former occasion. 1t is in vain, therefore, for
rival journals, or rival politicians or broken
down spectators, to lay the fattering JUNCTION
to their souls that the New YORK HERALD has
seen its best days. We have indeed seen some
good days. but we have not the slightest doubt
hat with the increase Of population, intelli-
gepce aid wealth in tas country, we will yet
see far brighter and better days in our newspa-
per exi.tr"ce, end that in q short time we will
circulate a hundred thousand sheets each morn
ng throughout this community and the civil
