THE NEW-YORKER, New York, March 23, 1839 Page 4 has a brief report: "The Jews Moving for Palestine" which notes in part: "Within a few years great numbers have gone thither...about 40,000, and are increasing in multitude by large annual additions...a large number of Israelites from the states of Morocco arrived at Marseilles in order to embark there for the coast of Syria & proceed thence on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem."
This title was published by the famed Horace Greeley, begun some seven years before his more famous 'New York Tribune' which print its first issue. Although he would work at several newspapers prior to the 'New Yorker', this would be his first successful venture, eventually reaching a circulation of 9,000.
Long active in politics, Greeley served briefly as a congressman from New York and was the unsuccessful candidate of the new Liberal Republican Party in the 1872 presidential election against incumbent President Ulysses S. Grant.
