We print to-day an article from the New
Orleans Picoyune Of the 10th Of September,
and another from the New Orleans Times Of
the same date, referring to an editorial Of the
HERALD of the 9th. which had been tele-
graphed to those papers from Washington.
II had reference 10 the political situation Of
the South, the Louisiana Convention and negro
supremacy, and was deemed Of sufficient i'm
portance 10 send all the way TO New Orleans,
at telegraphic prices so as to appear in the
papers there on the day following its publica-
ton In New York. 1t will be seen that our
views upon the Southern situation are appre-
ciated and endorsed by the press Of the South.
body political" says the New Orleans Picaytne,
ait (the HERALD article) leaves nothing to be
desired. We here on the spot can add nothing
to It." I" In political matters the HERALD is
well known 10 be keen OF vision" says the
New Orleans Tines in endorsing our opinions
upon the disastrous radical policy forced upon
the South.
We cite this incident partly in answer to
those who would assert that the HERALDs
opinions have little weight or influence, and
partly to account for the reason why its
opinions are regarded as carrying some i'm
portance with them.
Af6liating with no party, we are at liberty
10 speak, as no partisan journal can, of
great public questions freely and frankly.
Our enterprise and views and constant habit Of
keeping time with the footsteps OF progress
enable US 10 be ahead Of all other papers in
the punctuality and variety Of our news Our
correspondents are to be found where ever
any events are transpiring which can be
OF the least interest 10 the public and where
the HERALD correspondents are not people
have grown into the conviction that there is
aothing Of any real importance going on.
During the late war they were 70 be found on
the staff Of every general They linked
their fortunes with the soldier In the battle
neld. Their names were found among
tho wounded, the captured and the dead.
The contemporary history Of the rebellion, we
might say, has been more completely written
BY The HERALD war correspondents than that
which any future historian will string together.
When new telegraph lines are TO DO laid,
new railroad enterprises to be carried out,
freshly discovered or newly acquired lands TO
DO explored, our representatives are there 10
see and 70 describe, and they are daunted In
the performance Of their duty 10 u and the
public neither by danger nor Inconvenience.
This Is one other reason, apart from its in
dependence Of party, why the HERALD enjoys
influence and prosperity. Another d Its value
as an advertising medium, acquired not only
by Ii immense circulation, but by Its method
OF classifying advertisements instead Of scat
tering them promiscuously through its pages.
We may safely say that nearly one-third of the
business OF the city Is done indirectly through
the advertising columns OF the HERALD Our
system Is not like that Of the old blanket Sheets
where an advertisement stands for q whole
year In the same type, becoming stupid by It's
familiarity. Our advertisements are fresh every
day. They are the representatives Of the active
life Of the community They come to us not
by solicitation nor the agency Of drummers,
or any process Of hat sort The business is
done legitimately. IS between buyer and seller,
and there is no reduction made for the repeti-
ton Of advertisements. We have On available
medium Of communication with the public to
sell, and the business man buys II from us in
legitimate way. II Is the best investment he
can make in prosecuting his business 10 sue
cess, and he knows It
Take our advertisements Of real estate, dry
goods, and all commercial business and the
commercial news from all parts Of the
world, which forms an unerring guide 70 the
merchant and we have prominent. motive
for the public to employ the HERALD a. their

day issue IL, perhaps, the only paper published
ON that day which IL 80 thoroughly local In IL
features, and embraces. at the same time. the
material and important news from oil quarters
OF the globe These, We repeat, are the main
reasons-and they are more commonplace
than mysterous-why the HERALD has obtained
so large a circulation and exercises so general
ON influence.
