JOURNALISM, MORNING AND EvEsrNa-The
new editors Of the evening Commercial make
great boasts OF what they are going to do. Be
sides possessing all the brains, they intend to
monopolize all the news and readers OF the
city journals. II is evident from this that they
are the merest tyros and greenhorns, and have
not the first idea Of Journalism The aggregate
circulation Of the morning newspapers Of this
city is from two hundred thousand to two hun
dred and City thousand. OF which that Of the
HERALD amounts to one-half, being The largest
circulation possessed by any daily journal IN the
,oorld The total circulation Of the evening
journals combined does not exceed twenty-five
thousand. The reason Of this Is very simple
Business men prefer the morning papers, be-
cause they give the news fresh, we'll digested
and without curtailment; whereas the evening
papers can only publish it by scraps, composed
Of pickings and stealings from the columns Of
their morning contemporaries There is
another reason why they take morning
papers in preference. They rise to their
perusal with clear heads and at break
fast time newspaper Is to them business as
well as an Intellectual necessity. But when a
man has finished the labor, Of the day he re-
turns home, not TO read newspapers, but to rest
aud enjoy himself in the bosom Of his family
These new-1edged evening editors are, there.

times and has invariably ended in.rsln TO those

vENAIIrv or THE NEw YoRK HErALD AND
LONDON TMEs.-Thc other day the Tribune in.
serted a paragraph in its foreign correspond
ence stating that the London Times was as
venal az the New YORK HERALD This may or
may not be So We are like the London Times
in our influence and in our position ct the bead
Of the American press. We are like the London
Times in our enterprise aud in the malice which
our success provokes from our contemporaries
If, as We suppose, the London Times is not
venal then we are exactly like it. But the
HERALD has been in existence for many years,
and we defy the Tribune, or any other paper, to
prove one instance Of venalty against us
But it i'll becomes the Tribune to begin cast
ing stones and calling hard names. The We
nality Of that paper Is notorious. For proof
OF il we have only 10 turn to the
files Of the War Department, where we find .
gun contract issued to the Tribune We know,
also. that almost every owner Of the Tribune
has government contract for something or
other. One has q horse contract, another a
shoddy contract, another patent medicine
contract, another land job, and 50 on. We
also know from official documents that five or
six Of The Tribune writer's have been appointed
to fine Offices under this administration. Poor
Greeley's partners think him too silly to be
admitted to full share Of these iilgotten
gains; but they give him the bones and the
drippings. Besides this, be has, or recently
had, contract to supply prison beef to our
State prisons. This Is the paper which has the
impudence TO talk about veasIi,y It reminds
us OF Satan rebuking ain.

nival like that Of 1840, instead OF continuous

ders Let the people bring forward General

platform of the suppression Of the rebellion

anticipate a more peacesble and triumphant
election than that Of any other Presidential
contest since the second election Of Monroe.
Let this, then, be our answer TO the inquiry
why we have dropped President Lincoln and
have given up General Mcclellan to advocate
the claims Of General Grant. 1t is because we
believe General Grant to be the most desirable
and most available man for the crisis, the best
calculated to secure peaceable and satisfac-
tory election, and the best qualified to concli-
ate ell parties and all sections in the work of
finishing up the war aud re-estabiishing the
territorial and constitutional integrity Of tho
Union. Hence we advocate the claims and
qualifications of General Grant against all com
petitors. Who comes next?

Is He for the Union?

The War Democrats, when asked to
give their reasons for voting for Cen
eral Mcclellan, refer to his letter Of ac-
ceptance as containing strong assurances
Of his being in favor of the Union and
opposed to any separation between the
North and South. This they consider
a sufficient ofest to the miserable peace
and disunion platform adopted at Chica-
go. If the War Democrats are CONTEXT
to stand upon such ground a. this, il IS
all very well but we recollect party
that was quite a ardent iii its professions
of loyalty and Union, but whose leader
proved false when the nation was in
peril.
In the campaign Of 1-6U, there were
number Of conservative gentlemen who
were afraid that John {. breckenridge
and Abraham Lincoln were in favor Of
disunion. and they therefore, selected a
standard bearer whose only claim TO sup
port was that he was pre- emlnently a
USroS MAN. And to give still further
weight to the nomination, John Bell was
placed on a platform Of the Il Mon, the
Constitution and the enforcement 81 the
