TRIPLE SHEET.
THE PROGRESS OF JOURNALISM
THE HERALD AND ITS TRIPLE
SHEETS.

THE HERALD AND ITS TRIPLE
SHEETS.
We issue another triple sheet Of the HERALD to-
day, which makes the fourth this week. We are
compelled to this by the immense pressure Of our
business, our rapidly extending advertising pa
t5onage. and the large amount of news we find it
necessary to compress into our columns in order
to supply the requirements Of the times.
Judging from the present aspect of affairs, we
should say that during the next business season
we shall have to issue triple sheet every day;
very probably with the return of another business
season. necessity will oblige to issue quadruple
sheet two or three times week; and it may be,
when still another busy epoch comes about we will
publish a quadruple sheet every day.
The HERALD, it may be remarked is the only
journal in this country, or anywhere else except in
London, whose business demands the issue of q
York, is as a full grown, well matured man to a
Justly, growing youth. AT The present time the
HERALD has the largest circulation Of any duly
paper. in the ecord. Our circulation has for years
past been increasing with rapid strides, and as
things look now it will soon reach hundred thou
sand day, achiIe our receipts aoiH amount to a
million of dollars a year. All this vast increase
we owe almost entirely to New York and its envi-
rons. It is true that we receive support from the
North and the South the East and the West, but we
care little for, and depend less upon that Our in
flueuce and circulation are based mainly upon this
great commercial metropolis, and its immediate sur
roundings, which form part Of itself.
Twenty years ago we promised that in our career
we would one day reach the position we have now
attained; yet we cannot say that even now we have
gone beyond the mere infancy Of the press With
the boundlcss resources at command in this coun
try, and which are destined to be developed
by the all-conquering energy and industry Of
its people, no limit can be placed to the
growth and prosperity of the United States; and
this city, as the past assures us, must grow and
prosper apace with the entire Union. New Yorkis
the centre and focus of the commerce and civilza-
ton Of the continent; it is likewise, as natural
sequence, the only place where journalism can
hope to reach it's eliminating point The future Of
the press in this metropolis, then, is something
grand to contemplate; the past career Of this jour
aid of enterprise and good management.

the same. Ignorant Of the principles which
guide and the motives which influence Euro
pcan action and diplomatic intercourse, the
Chinese have ever attempted to keep the " bar
barians' out of the Celestial Empire by re-
sort to petty tricks and subterfuges, which
have defeated the stipulations Of treaties with
out Disgusting the motive. Thus, the treaty.
after the opium war was made in great part
dead letter. A similar spirit seems to actuate
the other Asiatic Courts, as Is evident from our
own experience in Japan. Whether the Eng
lish and French ENJOYS were right or wrong in
their attempt to force the entrance to the
Peiho, it seems now certain that deadly strug-
gle has commenced between the Powers of
Western Europe and the empire of China.
We do not believe that Russia has taken any
greater part in organizing Chinese resistance to
the English and French than we have She has
played her part skilfully in the troublous years
for the Emperor of China, and has found her ad-
vantage in it, When the 'sred devils" were at
lacking him on the side of Canton, the forces of
the "White Gear" were pressing him ON the
north Finding himself thus between two
enemies, the Brother of the Sun and Moon readi-
ly coded to Russia the territory she claimed
on the north, glad, no doubt, by this sacrifice,
to keep Mouravief out of the heart of his en-
pirc, and perhaps the possession Of his capital.
Should the English and French in the coming
contest, force their way to the walls Of Pekin,
the distracted central portion of the country
can be overrun by the Russian Calmuck and
Tartar troops by easy marches. For such
course we are entitled to believe they are pre-
pared, from the regularity with which intelli-
gence from Pekin is received overland in ST.
Petersburg.
Our part in this contest is plain one We
want no Asiatic territory. We care nothing
for the Emperor Of China. All we need is the
privilege of commercial exchange at the sea-
ports of our cotton goods and hardware for the
tea and silk of the Chinese agriculturist
For this we require no Minister at Pekin and
particularly not one of the stamp of Mr.. Ward,
who has so little comprehension Of the true
position Of bis country and the rights and
duties of neurals

The News by the Africa-Aspect OF ANA irs
in China.

Our advices from Europe by the steamship
Africa are two days later than those previously
received, and bring the details Of the intelli-
gence by the overland mail to the 10th of Au-
gust from Hong Kong.
The report received in st. Petersburg, that
Mr. Ward had arrived at Pekin, and was
kept there in a state of imprisonment
is confirmed This, as well as the fact that
the first news received in Europe of the
celebration Of the treaty with China last
year was through this medium, proves that the
Russians possess short and reliable means Of
communication with Pekin. Mr. Ward had
been conveyed to Pekin in a large box or room,
about sixteen feet long by ten wide, without
permission to see the country, and when thera
was kept strictly within the walls of the house
assigned to him. This looks very much like o
repetition of Lord Macartney's fruitless en-
bassy to that capital nearly century ago, and
it is not unlikely that it will result in the same
way.
1t will be seen by our extracts from the
foreign journals, that in the general opinion Of
the public men in Europe, China can be opened
to intercourse with the civilized world only by
gunpowder and iron. Both England and
France are actively preparing to send troops
and ships to the East, and the organs of Derby
and Palmerston are alike loud in calling for
active and energetic measures. The tory pa
pers are more savage against China than the
administration organs, and see in the recent af-

of agreat approaching struggle between Russia
and England in the East. In this contest they
claim that England must not permit France to
take the lead, and some strong hits are aimed
at the Napoleonic utterances about combating
for an idea. The only dissent from these views
is on the part Of the Manchester school of poll
tcians, which the tory prints sheer at as "the
sentimental pleadings of Mr.. Miner Gibson"
The course of Chinese diplomacy seems to
give warrant to these counsels. In the past
century, and in the present, it has always been

might se placed in the hands OF the free soilcrs
and democrats. The coalition was effected,
and the Legislature, which wssto elect Sena-
tor Of the United States in place Of Mr.. Web
ster, was found to be in che hands of the OPP
position. Mr.. Charles Sumner was chosen, and
at later period Mr.. Henry Wilson succeeded
Mr.. Everett in the Senate. Mr.. Banks was
twice chosen Speaker Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives of the State, thrice chosen to Con-
gress, and once elevated to the position of
Speaker of the House. The coalition did not
last long, but its duration was sufficient for Its
work 1t gave the death blow to State street
and Harvard College. The American party
continued the work, and the old wings have
never recovered. They have wandered here
and there, seeking for place to lay their heads
which are decidedly dead-heads. They have
run lately towards statuary, living On the
souvenirs Of their former power, canonizing
the faces Of their dead leaders wrangling with
Wendell Phillips as to the resemblance between
Mr. Webster and Demosthenes, and gravely dis
cussing the political character of the Athenian
orator as compared with that of the Marshfeld
Defender.
Opposed to people who go back for their
ideas three hundred years before Christ it is
not 80 astonishing to US, as IT undoubtedly was
to them, that Banks, Wilson and their coadju-
tors initiated and carried out social and po-
litical revolution, and mounted to the places of
Webster and Everett without the prestige, the
money, the influence or the learning whichwere
brought to bear for those statesmen.
Mr.. Banks is thoroughly an original man,
with all the firmness and determination of the
Puritan character, and with much more liberal
views than those of the Seward wing Of the op-
position To-day he stands more strongly with
the people Of New England than Mr.. Webster
ever did. In his activity, vigor, boldness, lbe-
rality and originality Of thought, Mr.. Banks is
exactly the antithesis of Mr.. Seward; and fail
ing the latter, Mr.. Thurlow Weed undoubtedly
thinks that the opposition might do much worse
than to select the former to bear its banner in
the canvass of 1860.

EVENING JOURNALISM IN New YoRK-CURroUs
REVOLUTION. Within the last few years even
ing journalism in this city has undergone very
remarkable changes, and the causes which ope-
rated these changes are still at work. We can
not now recall the number of evening journals
that have been established within the last twenty
years, and that have run their career of few
months or few years, and then quietly died out
They would probably number up score or
more. There are still some four left; but these
are all undergoing the same process of natural
decay. Of these, one is Of no consequence
whatever. It's name would not be even recog-
nized by our readers. Two of the others, the
Commercial Advertiser and Eueniny Post, have
quite limited circulation-the one from two to
three thousand, the other from three to
four thousand. The fourth evening paper
is the Express. This journal furnishes curious
illustration of the revolution that has been TAX
ing place in papers of that sort The Express
was started about twenty years ago as morn
ing paper. but it has been gradually throwing
off that character, and emerging in the charac-
ter of an evening paper It's morning issue has no
perceptble circulation, but its evening editions
reach an aggregate circulation of some fifteen
thousand. It is running the other evening
journals completely into the ground; and the
probability is that they will drop Oh, one by
one, leaving the field entirely to the Express,
which will be we'll able to supply the limited
demand. This demand is restricted chiefly to
passengers by the afternoon cars and steam
boats. II would obviously be good policy for
the Brookscs to stop their morning issue alto
eether--which must be considerable drag to
hem and condne themselves altogether to their
evening Issues. II il probable that the other
evening papers wiz soon go ont Of existence.

CONTESTS WITH ENaLAND.-N was stated,
shortly after the arrival of the eleven
cricket players from England in this city,
that they would play game Of base
ball with the picked men of the clubs
in New York and its vicinity if they were in
vited or challenged to do 80, but that they did
not like to give challenge themselves. 1t APP
pears, from telegraphic despatch from Phila-
delphia which appeared in yesterdays HERALD,
that they were challenged in that city, but
thai they declined We have been also in
formed thai they have been challenged here
also on the part OF the base ball clubs, by a
gentleman who made them this liberal offer
to match nine base ball players against their
eleven, on the ground of the st. Georges Club,
charging dollar for admission, and giving
them the entire proceeds of the tickets, and
Offering to bet them q thousand dollars
that the American players would beat
them two to one. 1t was stated that this chal-
lenge was also declined, but with the same
intimation given at Philadelphia, that they
would play next year. 1t was also said
that they would take book of instruc-
tons and base ball bat with them for q
model, and practice for year, after which
they calculate they will be ready to enter upon
he contest.
We now learn that one of their repre-
sentatives has arrived in New York, and
is prepared to arrange base ball match
between the cricketers and picked
nine from our base ball clubs. The Eng
lish cricketers will be welcomed here with
the most friendly demonstrations, and if they
beat their American competitors they will pro-
badly receive grand ovation, be feted at pub
lie dinners, and shown all the lions, and ele-
plants, and bulls, and bears, by the Common
Council of New York. 1t will be really worth
their while to engage in this friendly trial of
skill. They will suddenly find themselves far
greater men than they ever were in their native
land.
Meantime, we are anxious to see whether
there really is the great degeneracy in the
Anglo-Saxon human race and in horse6esh in
this country Of which we hear so frequently.
Our horses, it seems, have done pretty well
Of late on the English turf, and one Of our
pugilists is about to try muscles and pugilistic
science with Tom Sayers, the champion of Eng
land. 1t now remains to have trial of both
muscles and skill in game of base ball. If
the Eleven of All England are not prompt in
de6nitively accepting the invitation, they have
received here, they may lose their opportunity,
and find, perhaps, before long, that Nine Of All
America will pay visit to England to play the
best Eighteen Of that country match of base
ball on their own soil.

mon Councilmen quoted Demosthenes in the
original Greek, the State House resounded
with Virgil and Horace, no false quantities
panied the classic ear, and sages, after the best
Athenian patent, dispensed the law and the
gospel for the Old Commonwealth.
But while wandering in these pleasant val
leys and reposing by these green meadows, the
sages forgot the maxims Of their illustrious Gre
clan and Roman predecessors. The aphorism,
that as times change men change with them,
passed out of their minds, Other people, how
ever, remembered it, and there had been grow
ing up in Massachusetts, an unorganized oppo-
sition, distinct from the democratic party, and
known as the free soil party. There was
good deal of young wing and democratic blood
in this party, which grew out Of disgust for
the close borough system of the cliques that
controlled both the old factions, more than
from any particular devotion to the black man.
Winthrop & Co. and Hallett & Co. ignored the
new men at first. Some Of their leaders had
never been at Harvard or any other college.
One was man named Wilson, shoemaker Of
Natick, who was known in State street as
hard working country politician, good man
in the ranks, but as a leader-nonsense! The
idea was absurd. Then the wing town Of Wal

Waltham was almost under the dFippings Of
Harvard, but chose as its representative man
who was guilty of two crimes: first he was
very young; and second, he had never received
any more education than what o common free
school and his unaided studies had given him.
The new party waxed strong day by day. Then
there were mysterious caucuses between dis
satisfied democrats, chiefly Of the important
county Of Middlesex and The despsed free
