Our growth and increase, therefore, within the last twelve months, has been equivalent to over twenty-five per cent—showing adegree of movement aad prosperity not ex- ceeded, we believe, by any other journal in the civilized world. Indeed, there is but one other journal—and that is the London Times—thatcan exhibit so extepsive a circulation, so wide a movement, and so prospereus a business a3 that of the New York Herann. The very fact of our increase during the year having been eo great, bas ereated a good deal of mechanical difficulty in the delivery, at a proper hour, of the paper to its numerous readers ia certain portions of New York and the neighbor- ing cities Some five years ago we expended $30,000 in introducing maobinery for the priat- ing of the Henatp; but the increase of oar circulation has been so enormous within tke last two years that the old machinery is now entirely inadequate to supply the demand. Accordingly, a few months ago we entered into © contract with Messre. Hoe 4 Co., of this city, fer « whole series of machines, eosting, probably, be- tween $50,000 and $90,009, which will be com- pieted and in operation about the beginning of March, or the period when the new administration comes into power. These machines comprise two OTL 93 large ten cylinder pressce, each . costing $30,000, with steain engines, boilers and other apparatus, reaching the large sum we have already men- tioneé, all of which will enable us to issue 100,- 00 sheets in the same space of time which we now require to issue 40,000 or 50,000 sheets, Thus we go. Returning our sincere thanks to the people of this great metropolis for the pa- troungeaud support they have given us for over twenty years—the patronage and support of New Yank being the basis of our existence—we are now enabled to promise them that after the first of Mexch every New York reader of the Weraup will be enabled to receive it ate much earlier hour in the moming than they have ever got it for the dast eight or ten years. The New York Herald and the Spollamen and Spoils Jobs at Washington. The expositions which we have heea making of late of the conspiracies of remorseless spoils- men now ing the city of Washingtoa. and of their monstrous schemes oF wholesale plunder and epoliation. bave not been without their good eflect in the proper quarter. These spoils eon- spirators have accordingly become alarmed, and joint stock jobbers and Jobby members, from ‘Thurlow Weed their chief. to the lowest dwe do.- jar man of the Capitol, cbagrined and savage at leing exposed and intercepted in their darling schemes, bave ect up a most ferocious barkting and howling agaivst Bonnett and “ Beana'ts Heravp. We have olready given 2 schedule of the mag nificent jobs of these confederate spoilamen @ fleecing the treasury and the pockets of the pec ple through a sort of sympathizing republica. majority in the House, and those good natured old democratic fogies of the Senate. Amo g ibese various schemes, covering an aggregate f polls and plunder of not lese than two husded ond fifty millions of dollars, we have paid parts cular attention to that enormous ¢ corruption job, the Pacific Railroad bili, ing upon the table of the House Committee on Public Lands, or in the pocket of the chairm n of that committee; acd next, that cool and im spoils operation, the Woodworth patent extension scheme, bas challenged our partieul F attention. From the astounding facts and figures which we have broaght to bear upon this Pacific Railroad swindle, and thie outrageou cheme for anothcr extension of this patent for planing dea! boards, there has been a sndden halt among the conspirators ; but their silly and con temptible hue and cry against thie journal and its editor never does and never will avail to de tor us from our public duty. This patent for the Woodworth planiog ma chine hae hed first, afourtcen years’ leave from the Patent Office, then an additional term o/ seven years from the said office, aud then an extra term of seven years from Congress; and yet, n ¢ satisfied with the millions of money which the company heve realized from their twenty-eigh years of this gigantic monopoly, they are mo destly asking another extension from Congres: vith the appliances of a lobby to back them se- cond only to those of the Pacific Railroad con We hove charged that W. 11. Seward puden spirators tends iu the Senate and before the courts as the | eand special counsel of this corn, Jo answer to this charge, “ good man Friday,” of the Al- wel, virtually pleads guilty, while in- lignantly denying that the immaculate rum- eeller of Auburn has at present any basiness con- section with this planing machine monopoly. The reason is, we presume, that their scheme before Congress hae reecived a black eye, and has been hauled off temporarily to repair dame ges. ‘The fugleman of Mr. Seward, of the Albany Journal, however, does not choose thus to give i up. He is determined that “ Bennett” and Bennett's Hrraty” should be destroyed, as Mr Buchanan has pledged himself to “ destroy” ali sectional parties. But, unfortunately, in the ab- cence of fact, of argument, of reason, sound sense, and the common decencies of a wentlemanly ex- citement, Mr. Thurlow Weed flies into # perfect fury, and foams, and raves, and thrashes the cmpty alr like a poor wretch in a fit of delirium womens, Tear him: Falsehood and folly,” “ stomach must be proof,” “disgusts and nau- seates,’ “ splurges and vomilings,” “ that vile sheet,” “receptacle of undigested scan- dal,’ “ bigareped old vagabond of thy Henaup,” (hold him!) “ beemeared geld,”—(did you ever hear the like,) “ beemeared gold,” (what a strange idea!) “society rejects him,” (oh! dont ;) “he is an outcast” (what e pity!) Io apewer to all this jargon of dirty abase, we may say that we have never claimed te be a living embodiment of the Apollo Belvidere ; but still we apprebend tbat in person and in personal appear- g2ce, in cleanliness, in Christian deportment ead -penilemanly bearing, in menoers and in assecia- ‘tions, in honesty and sobriety, an@ in respecta- bility in society, the editor of this journal will 4 compare advantageously with either Thurlow Weed or his master, or eny of “his spoite con- federatce or understrappers in Atbany or Wash- ington. Where the carcass ie, there vill the vultures be gathered together,” and where Thurlow Weed is, there is a king of the vultures, For a quarter of @ century past, he and his mester, Seward (like master, like man) have maneged that malign obby spoils influence at Albany which has in volved the people of New York in their existing pressure of public debt and high taxes, But at Albany the spoils game is nearly played out, the canal plunder having been mostly disposed of, with the remnant behind tied up under so many obetructions 98 to render it unavailable for pre- sent exigencies. And se, honest Thurlow Weed and bis Albany clique, reinforced with accessions of sharp-set spoilamen from various. parts of the country, under the auspices of a spoils edministra- tion, have established tneir headquarters at Wasu- ington, and have enlarged their operations from lit- tle jobs of two, three, fiveor nine millions, to such splendid enterprises as the Pacific Railroad con- spiracy, the Woodworth .patent monopoly, aud various other patent jobs, and railroad land jobs, and spoilations, and indemnities, and Galphio and Gardner claims, comprehending the grand sum total of not less than two hundred .aad fifty mil- lions of dollars. We confess that it is quite netural-that a flock of such harpies as these, disturbed at their feast- ing, should set up a terrible chorus of wrath and fury; but with the efficient co-operation of even a tew honest, unbought and vigilant men in the two Houses of Congress, we feel entirely competent to disperse this whole brood of spoils vultures from the Capitol. At present they seem tohave dropped this Pacific Railroad job and this Woodworth patent job; but it may be that they are only waiting some golden opportuaivy, when, amidst the confusion incident to a pressure of miscellaneous bills, they may slip in and slip through their favorite projects in the disguise of some ipnocent amendment or some manilest act of public justice. But let these spoilsmen be kept at bay to the end of poor Pierce’s unscrupulously eorrupt kitchen dynasty, and we think we can answer for Mr. Buchanan. ‘The Arrival of the Resolute In England. At is long since we had occasion to chronicle so pleasant a passage-at-arms with our English friends as the ceremonies which attended the re- ception of the Arctic discovery ship Resolute, in England. Every one knows, by this time, thas this veseel, abandoned in the Arctic oeean by Sir E@ward Belcher’s orders, was found by an American whaler, brought into a New England port, bought and refitted at a cost of $40,000 by the United States goverument, and sent to England, under Captain Hartstein, as a present to Her Majesty. We believe we are only reuder- ing justice to Senator Mason, of Virginia, in crediting him with the happy idea of this grace- ful international compliment. The English, as all who know them expected, have received the compliment like a courteous and high-toned nation. The Queen visited the Resolute, and, being something of a sailor herself, inspected her minutely, inquiring curiously from Captain Hartstein, the meaning of the various Arctic implements she saw. Captain Harwtein dined with her, and both he and his crew received civilities without number from public bodies and private individuala, The tone of the press has never been £0 friendly to the United States. Al- together, this little affair seems to have doae more to put Jon Bull in a good humour with us than any thing that hae occurred for years. Even poor Sir John Crampton is forgotten in the general excitement, and a successor will probably be named to him before the ene cor- diale is clouded over. When one sees how much can be accomplished hy « trifle of this kind, it is amazing that euch testimonials of good feeling are not more fre- quent. In the constant daily intercourse which we maintain with England, opportunities for small civilities of this kind are very plentiful, Englirhmen are constantly coming here, and countrymen of ours going there. Scores of ships of both countries leave the ports of each every day of the week. Indeed, our intercourse could hardly be more constant or larger if we were co- terminous countries; and the opportunities for displaying good feeling are in proportion. How differently the two countries might hare worked along in the world had there been an annua shake hands like this of the Resolute! In point of fact, our connection with the Englieb, as a nation, bas been olmost woifyrmly of an nuplearant character. We, on the eea- board, know them as traders, perhaps; but in the interior, where the people think little wbout foreign trade, what do they know of England aud the English? They bear that their Minister is breaking our lawe; that their ships are in fering with our people in Central Am: j and they read an article penned by some thonght- less London editor, and re-copied by our presw« making very merry over the comiealities and de- fects of Brother Jonathaa, ina tone not at all remarkable for geniality or kindly mirti. if they hear of dealiags between this coustry and England, the two nations are invariably pitted against cach other as antagonists; the native of Kentucky, Ohio and the West cannot conceive that England can ever want to have anything to say to us except to cheat or bully us Renders of bistory know what foundation thore ie for this gross delusion; it exists, certainly, and means are not taken to dispel it. Tn one way this delusion has a slight advan- tage. It helps to keep down that provincial ten- dency which leads so many persons in this conn try to copy servilely everything that is Eoglieh, But this gain is more than counterbalanced by the loss the fecling entails. We have hardly secon the full effects of it; those could only be brought out by a war of some kind; but the waste of on- ergy and force occasioned by the maintaining of constant international prejudices, must be esti mated very highly. No man, it may be safely taid, can ever rise to the rank of a statesman or man of road common sense, who entertains a prejudice against a foreign nation: yet the pre- vailing ignorarice of each other's views and mo- tives, and the constant friction of irritable points, retains at this moment a large section of the peo- ple of Great Britain and of the United States in @ ciwie of chromiy mutual bostil According t6 the information contained in the letter of our Albany correspondent, published in another colamn, Governor King would appear to have resolved on faking a nove) and independent course, and on giving the slip to the keepers of Governors, who under the command of Thurlow Weed, have exercised so banefal au influence oa the State government for several years. The blood of the King’s was always independent; if Governor King shows something of its original pluck, be will renovate the hive. According to our correspondent, Governor King’s message, which will be published as usval to-morrow, takes strong grouud against the Pro- hibitory Liquor law, and advocates the passage of astringent license law, This is precisely the policy we have always advocated, in common witb every censible man in the State. If Gov- erpor King gives the final death blow to the Maine law fanatics, be will recommend himself to the popular feeling of the State in the highest degree. Let him, or rather, let the Legislatare enact a license Jaw, nv matter how stringent, Let the greatest pains be taken to make it effective, and easy of application. Let the numper of grog shops be reduced, if necessary, and some of the worst places, which are nothing bat an injury to the people in every point of view, be closed altogether. And let ample provision be made for the punishment of those who wilfully sell poison under the name of liquor. But let us hear no more of the prohibition of a trafic which under proper regulations aud in proper hands may be highly beneficial. In reference to the canal question, the Gov- ernor is to take ground in favor of a three mith tax to complete the canals, the enlargement fund being consumed. Io this view, he will be sustained by the Seward whigs, but it is appre- bended that the democratic wing of the republi- cans may not be willing to work with their allies in a line s0 contrary to their old policy. We shall have occasion to refer to this question again; meanwhile it seems singular, to say the least, that the people of this State should be driven every year or two to the necessity of taxing themselves in order to make up a de- ficiency mainly caused by the injudicious repeal of railroad tolls. Were the great railroads of this State placed on the same footing as the canals, the latter would be enabled to do business enough to dispense with further aid from the people ; as it is, the people of the State, who are the owners of the canals, have by their own act—namely, by relieving the railways of tolis— enabled competitors to enter the field at an im- mense advantage, to take away the business of the canals, and to throw them back every two or three years upon our hands for more money. In reference to the city, it is understood that Governor King docs not go the length of those republican schemers who propose to punish New New York for having voted for Buchanan by disfranchising us, and setting over the city a Council of Ten from the country parts. He recommends alterations in the organization of the Police Department. We will take leave to say to Governor King that it is not a single brick or a single sash in the municipal edifice which requires mending, but the whole building from roof to ccllar. Any change would of course be preferable to the wholesale disfrauchisement proposed by the leaders of the republican party. But, let Governor King and hie friends mark it well, no benefit can be expected from any reform that is not based on sound and thorough princi- ples. No government can ‘ever give satisfaction in this city which permits each executive depart- ment to be independent of the executive head, which, in a word, converts the municipal machine into a house divided against itself. Simplicity and unity ; concentration of power and concen- tration of responsibility; these are the points which ought to be the corner stones of the mun’ cipal ecifice. When we departed from them, w began to go wrong; we have gone from bad to worse cver fince; aud we shail continue tod until they are restore It is a pity to ee Gov. King yieldiag to his party co far as to recommend moral and material aid for Kansas, as we understand he is to do. Why op carth not lave Kansas alone? What have we to do with the people of that Territory? What impertines s for us to want to dictate to them what sort of iustitutions they shall have! Let individuals go to Kansas, if they choose, and when the right time comes, vote for or against slavery as their humor or opinion leads them: bat the government of the State has no more to do with the subject than the Queen of England. It might have been hoped that the Governor of the great central State of New York would have eet the more thovglitless and leas important Governors of the other States a wise lesson oa this bead. But, on the whole, it seems that Gov. King promires well; that he proposes to pursue an ia dependent course, and scout dictation; that he talks of being Moire du Pelais, as well as King of the Franke. If eo, we heartily wish him GJ speed! elit Ordas Maxixa at Wasntreros avo Exsy WHE Cabinet making by the politicians of the succose ful party, ie organ making, or intrigaing for () control of great newspaper organ at Washing- ton, said organ to represent, guide and advise the incoming administration of Mr. Buchanan, The republicans and Know Nothings having lost the election, have now notbing else to do but to look after the Congrossional spoils, which includ» jobs and land operations to the amount of about two hundred millions already before Congress, and to be put through this session. But (> democrats have reveral other irons in the fire, one of the biggest end hottest of which is organ making. The old organ of Pierce--conducted by Nicholson, has lost several of ite pipes and ruined many of ite stops—after the fourth of Mareh ‘he big bellows which raises the wind for it will have a vacuum, the principal blower retiring to New Hampshire. Seriously, however, a government organ at Washington ts simply a government priuting job, authorized by Congress for the purpose of paying off certain political debta As a journal, i has neither influence nor character, nor circula- tion, nor tact, nor genius, mor talent, nor spirit, nor ekill, and never can have any. Yet there are certain idle, lounging couutry editors, who aro big fellows in little villages, who seck this position to manage the organ at Washington. Among others, we see that come of the country editors in Virginia are anxious for the job. The chape of the South Side Demoeral, as they coll a dirty little six-by-nine sheet, printed some- where in the rural districts of the Old Dominion, are especially savage because we have ridiculed the idea of Mr. Buchanan having any organ at Washington, or anywhere else. These fellows, and all the other evckers aller the spoils, will | Next in importance to the business vu. | D | find out that we are right one of these days, The progress of the independent press in this country during the past twenty years is greater, aud will lead to far more important results in shaping the destinies of the country than these tappoany editors can imagine, and is far beyond the scope of their conception, England, Spain and tne Slave Trade—How it can be Stopped. The concurrence of the arrival at London of Dr. Livingston, the Central African explorer, and.of Governor Adams’ message to the South Carolina Legielature, recommending a re-opening of the African slave-trade, has stirred up that particular specimen of the British lion kept at Exeter Hall, and he is having quite a lively time of it just now. His continuous roar is delightiag all the old women and little children that frequent that delectable locality, and has somewhat ex- cited the tamer epecimen specially kept by the London 7intes. The latter, however, “roars you as gently as any sucking dove,” nothing being more remote from its intention {pan a threat. All this talk, however, about the renewal of the slave- trade, is clap-trap to catch gulls with. Nothing is more improbable or farther from the thoug’ts of nine-tenths of the people of the South, and all of those in the North of this country, than the revival of the African slave-trade. On the con- trary, every right thinking man wishes to see, not only that trade stopped, bat also the inhumaa trafic in coolies and Chinese which are now brought from the East, and the proposed trade in African apprentices to the Spanish colonies, There is one feasible, practical and sensible way to exlinguish the slave trade, and but one. Every nation bas stopped it but Spain, aud she continues it in violation of her treaty with England, because it is a chief part of her gov- erpment and social policy in Cuba, where she wishes to increase the numerical prepomlerance of the black race, in order to prevent ire Cu- bans from following the example of all the other Spanish American colonies, in throwing off the yoke of the mother country. The long standing threat that Cuba shall be ever Spanish or else African, is held to be the strongest chesk upon the revolutionary tendencies of the Cw ne. therefore continues the slave trade, ° British government, notwithstanding ~+: opposition, consents to it as a meatue « because it fears that free Cuba woutd seck obtain admission to the American U aioa, Let the British government abwutm its falee pretence of a wish to stop the +panish slave trade policy in Caba, and siow good faith and earnest desire in the mptiter, by as senting to the installation ¢ a free gov- erpment there, or its immediate transfer to the United States. In eisber case the slave trade would cease at omee. The native Cubans are strongly opposed to it, and the federal government would see that its laws and the wishes of the people were carried out. In opposing this method of settling the question, England is not only protecting a Power that for forty years has continuously broken faith with her, but is in reality injuring her own true interests, The present maintenance of the fleet on the coast of Africa is costing Eagland three and a half millions of dollars yearly, and many valu- able lives—all sacrificed uselessly, ‘The trade is not stopped or diminished In any great measure, The bringing of Cuba into the American Unioa would result also to the advantage of England, in augmenting the market there for her maantac- turce. In every way that the question can be looked at such a step would redound to her advantage. Let our London cotemporaries abandon all this theorizing about the stoppage of the slave trade, amd come to the point at once by advocating the only practical plan for ite suppression, As long as Cuba remains under © power of Spain, so long will the slave trade continue there. y, sad Tus Worcester Disvsiostsrs.——The follow. is the pronunciamiento of the Worcester dis- unionists for a disuaion State Convention in Wor- cester on the 15th inst.:— We, the undersigned citizona of Worcester, the resuit of the recent Presidential eivction to jour years More oO pro slavery government, and ino: case 1 the hostiuty between whetwo sestivas o!

He proposes thit the city government shall be organized on the qlan of that of the confederacy; that the Mayor mall occupy the same position relatively as the Piesi- dent, and that the heads of departments all constitute bis Cabinet. No other chang? will confer upon the city the blessings of a free gywrn- ment, As for the decentralization propox by the republican leaders, the Mayor will deromce it fn the most etrenvons manner. Sbonk t be carried into effect, and the government of taecity trensferred from New York to Albany, hewill not retain office a single day. The office of ank- ing the ship he would rather leave to ohei, bands. The Mayor will speak out boldly in referace to the course pursued by the Recorder at the last election: the conduct of that official will be de- nounced in language of marked severity. Were no other reason available to show the necessty of a new plan of united authority, this collison of two such important offivers as the Mayor anl Re- corder would supply the deficiency. How sould the city possibly be well governed while itslead- ing magistrates spend thcir time and comume their energies in quarrelling and trying to tart each other?
