While leisurely seated in :i favorite- rook ing chair, 1 have often indulged in a train 1 of thought that seemed to flow like the placid waters of the rivulet adown yonder green meadow, and 111:10 v a time and oil have I at einpted to put those though'* upon paper for the purpose of benefitting others by their publication in some (<a zette ; but, Mr. Editor, 1 have invariably found that it is much easier tothntl; than to write. True, any one possessed of the cuewthes srribendi. which rendered into plain English properly means a scribbler who can string sentences together on any subject, even if it be '• a footless stocking Avitiiout a leg"—may indite a communica tion under some flashy head, devoid ot either point, or wit, or meaning, but to write right, my word for it, is a different matter. Let me not be understood how ever to say that whatever may appear with jnv signature, is to be above mediocrity. 1 am not vain enough to believe so, for as 1 said before, it is much easier to think than to put your thoughts on paper, else my experience must lie totally different from others. Even now, while I had in view tlie penning of a flight of fancy, which 1 believed to be at my finger's ends, behold, i with pen, ink and paper ready, all lias vanished into thin air. and like some brave warrior, of whom 1 have either read or dreamt. 1 find myself hailing before start ing ! Thus again has been lost a bright idea, that might have edified some reader of your goodlv paper, or wakened into life tSie dormant energies of* some- slumber er who knew not what Lis cranium con tained ! Ah ! well-a-day ! if I cannot rise into the douds and soar among the sublime, why not come down to common sense at once, and see whether success is not with in my reach ? Why, confound my stupid head, what better subject need 1 have than the picture before me .now ? There sits Aunt Tabby, plying Iter knitting needles as mechanically as if they were part and parcel of herself, while her tongue is keep i ig pace with her fingers, as she is relat ing to my mother and iny sisters what she is pleased to term the extravagance of neighbor Plum's daughters, and, bv Jove, though she may scold tne for a week and cut me off with a shilling in her will, I'll not only write down what she says, but faith, ' I'll prent it.' ' Such extravagance,' exclaimed Aunt Tabby ; ' who ever heard of the like ! I declare its enough to make one crazy to see girls that can't afford it laving out seven dollars and a half each for a silk dress.' [Wonder how much Aunt Tabby's dress cost!j • But," interposed my mother, 4 Mr. Plum's girls work hard for their parents, and it 1 remember aright, their mother told me llipy had earned this money by using their time to advantage instead of gadding about the streets, as 100 many do both night and evening. M v sisters Lib and Suse both nodded an affirmative to this statement. 4 But sister'—Aunt Tabby always calls my mother sister when her dutch is get ting up to blood-heat— 4 I tell \ou its a sin and a shame that such girls should spend so much money for dress, when there are so many other things they might have got for it more useful and more enduring.' * Tis true,' observed my mother, * fifteen dollars might have been applied to many good and useful purposes, and certainly procured articles that might have proved of more utility than a silk dress, yet 1 ven ture to say the girls will have and wear those dresses lor years, and always refer to thern with pride as the product of extra and hard labor. Our means are three, perhaps six limes as great as (heirs, and did we keep an account we would proba bly discover that we spent more in propor tion than our neighbor Plum's girls." Aunt Tabby laid down her knitting in perfect astonishment, and after a deep drawn sigh exclaimed ' My gracious ! La, me ! Mary," continued she. • I don't believe I vo spent that much in a year !' ' Oh ! Aunt t'abbv !' said Lib and Suse and mother all at once, at which Aunt Tab by began to get a little red in the face, when she added, ' At least, not a great deal more.' ' VV liy Tabby,' said mother, 1 how much did that shawl cost yon bought at Hivmy cr's a few months ago V ' Only ten dollars and a half,' said aunt, * and I think it was very cheap at that.* ' And how much did you pay for that silk dress you got at Waltson A. Jacob's V said Lib. • La, child ! I had forgotten that,' said iabby, • i believe it cost fourteen dollars.' And how much did \on pay for that handsome bonnet you bought at John A. Sterett's V said hnue. Dear me, said Aunt i'abby", 1 didn't think of tiiat; it cost five dollars !' .iiitd what did that alpaca cost you got at Sigler & Smart's", said mother. ' ' And the gaiters Mr. Monigomc rv made,' said Lib. • And the ribbons and velvet at FirovedV 'aid Suse. A scurt, suk hose, gloves, and a dozen oilier minor articles were mentioned in succession, to the evident chagrin of the old lady, who sat studiously silent for sev- rai minutes. ' Well, I declare,' al 1 ist either said or thought Aunt Tabby aloud, 'who'd a thought 1 spent so much !' There, reader, you have my first epistle, for which 1 expect to receive a regular blow-up when Aunt Tabbv reads the (la yette next Friday evening; and, should i survive the shock, ertm yotf may beer Lj'ii me syain 1 n iii For 'ht Goiette.

The observing man cannot Tail to notice that there is a growing disposition in this country to meddle with the affairs of other nations, and a certain class, taking it for j granted that whatever meets popular teel- | in<r is right, embark in wild schemes of aggression against nations with whom our government is at peace, create all the hor rors of a civil war, cause an unnecessary shedding of human blood, and then, il un successful, claim to have done ail these . outrages as American citizens! The Ca- I nadian rebellion in 1830, the recent un fortunate invasion of Cuba, the present j forav in .Mexico, and inuendoes by fool hardy politicians that the time is not dis tant when the I nited .States will stand an ■ idle spectator ot European aflairs, are, to sac the least, not over-creditable to us as a nation or as men. The Anglo-Saxon race seems to be peculiarly formed for the en joyment of such institutions as our country is blessed with ; they can abuse govern ment officials in tile most approved style, but while doing so take care to obey ail legal mandates emanating from them: they can fight and wrangle at elections, and, the result once ascertained, settle down into quiet citizens until another po litical cauldron boils. Hut such a state of liberty would be no blessing to the French man, or Spaniard, or Mexican, or any oth er nation reared under the swu* of mon archical or despotic power, until the peo ple themselves change, (live any of those the privilege of speaking aught they choose of their rulers, and there would be an end of all government ; give them an elective franchise such as we possess, and civil discord, the knife and dagger, would reign supreme until some usurper would again subdue them to his iron will. In our opinion, centuries must elapse before edu cation will diffuse among the masses of Europe that knowledge essential to the en joyment of rational liberty, and without which millions of them are and will be, both in thought and feeling, unfit for it. The majority wiio come among us from foreign shores find around them examples of what an American citizen ought to be, and soon assimilate themselves to our habits and laws, and become good citizens. But here it is all prepared to their hand— itt their native kinds it would require a to tal change, not only in feeling, but in all the relations of life. Even admitting our. right to meddle in the affairs of foreign nations, what benefit would be conferred should we succeed in liberating one class from the bondage of a king, and substituting perhaps some " royal president" like him of France ? Tyranny can exist as well under one name as another, and with ns it is questionable whether the people of France have made much by the operation of substituting a ty rannical president for a tyrannical king. The latter sought to perpetuate his power and unless the former is much belied, be is engaged in doing die same thing by an arbitrary course which, if adopted in this country, would hurl a president from the white house at Washington with the force of a whirlwind. As a people, let us sympathise with ail who are endeavoring to ameliorate their condition, but while do- ing so let us not become a nation of buc caneers, making might right, plundering one and oppressing another. There is a law of nations obligatory upon all, and though we may think and believe ours to be the best government upon'the face of the earth, we forget what is due to others when we undertake to disturb existing in stitutions in foreign lands under any pre text except that of war. NEWSPAPERS. — The Columbia (S. ('.) Telegraph sax< the truth is beg inning to be understood, that editors and publishers are producers, and that they are entitled to some compensation for services rendered, or for articles furnished by them. A newspaper is a commodity in which are involved ail the usual elements of cost, and the purchaser or consumer should ex pect to pav for it accordingly. No class of men expect to be furnished gratis with shoes, hats, coats. Ac., and no gentle man calls on his neighbor alter breakfast habitually to borrow a pair of hoots. When people once learn the simple truth that the maker of a newspaper looks to it for his living, the. once fashionable prac tice of borrowing newspapers, or ol bor rowing space in them, will he discontinued. Our brethren of the press can do much, in bringing about a proper recognition ol their rights, and we trust they will do so speedi ly. THE NEXT CANAL COMMISSIONER. — Major JACK CLMMINUS, of Union county, is named in some of our exchanges as the next Democratic candidate for Canal Com missioner. Such a nomination would be rich, but not more preposterous than the idea lately started by some locofocos of nominating lligler lor \ ice President. The I.scofocos and an Increased Duty on Iron. The remarks we made on the Berks county locofoeo tariff meeting, which re. solved that an increased duty on iron was necessary, have called forth nearly a col umn of comment in yesterday's Democrat, which, taken altogether, strengthens our belief that " this move is nothing more than an intrigue to secure votes lor the Presidential campaign." Even our neigh bor begins to squint in favor of " such reasonable incidental protection as will be for THE INTEKESTS OK THE COL'NTKY. ' So, it appears then that die interests ol the country have something to do with pro tection, and by some hocus pocus, notwith standing the locofoeo papers have been en gaged for seven years in demonstrating that it is for the interest of the people to buy where they can buy cheapest, iron is now an article that will bear more duty. Very well—now let us see what our neigh bor thought of the iron men a few months ago. In the Democrat of .March 27,1851, in reply to a statement of ours that we were in favor of retaining in our town and county every man who could find some thing to do, and to retain him, avowed our readiness to sacrifice British iron as well as all other British articles we could man ufacture ourselves, the editor says : • " This i= just what we arc* for. although we are NOT UILLINH ITJAT THE OOVERN- AlliNT KIIALL PAY O.NL SET FOR RE MAINING HERE, at an unnecessary expense to the balance. Our neighbor's doctrine would be to keep tbem all, and Invite immigration here, and oiler as an inducement, a bonus to all who would agree to embark in tbe iron business. We think they should be satisfied with some thing short ot their own and their over-anxious friend's demands. When the iron men recover Irom the present depression, which will be as soon as their surplus is disposed of, under a reasonable duty they w ill be enabled to go on again, and make a reasonable profit, as those engaged in other pursuits are doing. THE ARTICLE <)F IRON IS NOT SO IMPOR TANT a commodity that a few men should be paid to embark in its manufacture, at the ex pense of tbe many, and be secured from the ac cidents of trade, to say nothing of overproduc tions. when other pursuits are not similarly pro vided for." We have capitalized a few words in the above extract, and leave it to speak for itself. Again, in the Democrat of March 20, 1851, while discussing the subject now in hand, that paper said— " The home market, our protectionist friend will tell us, is the panacea for ail these evils. But when at the present reduced prices, the manufacturers are not able to dispi s ; of ali they produce, how, pray, is that home market to be made better, 1 N'LESS 15V AN I'NJUSTTAX I PON the people, for which no suitable equiva lent will be received by them in return. You enhance the price of the article, to enable the manufacturer to reap larger profits, so that he will not he required to produce so largely; AM) THIS AUDITION TO THE PRICE COMES OIT OF THE POCKETS OF THE C()NS! MF.R. Thus a few are benefitted at the expense of the many, and the laws made to operate against, instead of for the greatest good of the greatest number. " But take the other view of the subject. Give the manufacturers w hat they demand—a heavy protection—and it will result just as it has done in Great Britain, by a still greater amount of competition and excess of production over consumption, and ultimately result in ruin to the manufacturers themselves, and loss to all connected with their establishments, as well as the farmer who furnishes the grain, the merchant the goods, or the laborer who performs the work. This is the natural tendency of this sys tem of legislation. If it is the duty of the gov ernment to guard the manufacturers against the risks and accidents of trade, let them do so by some other method that will be more certain. " We have never denied that the iron interest \va depressed. It would he fool-hardy in us or any other person to do so; hut it is depressed, a- we have shown, front causes altogether remote from fie operations ol the tariH", and arises from an excess of production at home, and abroad, that will only he, made worse by a too largely increased duly upon the foreign article, and ul timately result in ruin and loss to all in any w ay interested and connected with the business. 15ut we deny that the iron interest is depressed to the extent that these peculiar advocates of protection assert. They are endeavoring to cre ate the general idea <•( manufacturing distress, and are propagating it for mere party purposes." We know nothing that has occurred since March last to induce a change in public opinion among the loeofocos as to incidental or accidental prolection lo iron. If eight months ago an increased duty was an FXJRST tax upon the people and TAKEN OCT Of THE POCKETS Of THE CONSUMER ; if the " article of iron was not so impor tant a commodity that a few men should he paid to embark in its manufacture" at tlial time, pray what has caused this change to come over the spirit of your dreams, that these LN.IFST TAXES and BO .N I'SES (as you style them) to a few men should lie levied now ! Revenue cannot be the object, for our excessive importa- ! tions furnish more than government needs j for ouiinary expenses, and unless some such motive as we have ascribed is at the ! bottom of it, we think the public generally will feel curious to know what has brought j the iron men into favor again with those j who heretofore considered thein as mere ! outsiders, who lived off the labor of olli ers, and grew rich at the expense of the , community. For our part, we trust the duty will be increased at the ensuing session of Con gress, and that our idle furnaces will once 1 more feel the invigorating effects of SOUND WHIG I>OCTR!\K. NUISANCE. —The children from half a dozen public schools, running round to j private hydrants to procure water. We ' think it is full time for the Board of Di rectors to see to this matter. A PANIC.—A report, believed to have been put in circulation by a pedler in Centre county, for the purpose of more readily disposing of his goods, that the Lancaster Hank, had failed, was bruited from one quarter to another for a week or two, and finally reached Lewistown from different points, of course accompanied with such additions as a story of the kind would be likely to receive. Our com munity, being particularly sensitive on Hank rumors, at last went oil like a piece of touchwood, and ninetenths who held notes thought they were dead-broke, while the remaining tenth firmly believed there was "something wrong." Hut the mails from the east were looked to in vain for any confirmation of the report, and, as not even a shadow could be raked up to give further color to it, all soon settled down quietly to receive and pay out Lancaster Hank money as they did before. Personally we know but little of the institution, but those who arc well acquain ted with the Hoard of Directors, as well as general report, give them the credit of being men, who, possessing ample means themselves, would not sanction any course of conduct that would jeopard its stability. To put such a report 111 circulation against a solvent institution, is not only inflicting injury upon the hank, but upon individu als who are induced to part with its notes at a discount, or heedlessly purchase what they do r.ot need, in order to get rid of them ; and the officers of the Lancaster Hank woidd perhaps do no more than jus tice to all by ferreting out the author, and giving him an opportunity to test his ve racity before a court of justice. I\r We referred last week to a petition circulating in Blair county, in reference to ardent spirits, since w hicli we have received a copy of it marked for publication. It reads as follows : To the Senate anil House of Representatives of the Commomcealtk of Pennsylvania : The undersigned, residents of in said Commonwealth, respectfully represent:—That 1 your Petitioners, assuming that every society ! and government has a right to protect itself ! against any great and general evil by the adop tion of such fundamental laws as will most ef fectually prevent it; —and that the true repub lican principle is, that all great and vitally im portant questions should be submitted to the whole people, in their paramount sovereignty, where the same can be conveniently done, —are admitted political axioms. And believing that the use of intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, j by persons in health, resulting as it dog*, m a large portion of our community, in even I 'part of the State, becoming habitually intemperate, and yearly causing the utter ruin, in body and in soul, in reputation, family and property, of thousands and tens of thousands of our citizens, j is a great moral, social and political evil:— ; That the use of intoxicating liquors, as a bever age. by persons in health—however small the quantity—is always, to some extent, injurious, (physically, morally and byway of example.) and never beneficial; And that the only ef fectual mode of putting an end to this great j evil, is by absolutely prohibiting the existence i of the present ' facilities' to obtain intoxicating liquors,—to remove the ' temptation'altogether, i Your petitioners pray, that in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, an a- 1 mendmcut be submitted to the qualified elec tors of the State, at the earliest possible period, j prohibiting the sale within the State, of all in- j toxirating liquors, as and for a beverage, and | requiring the Legislature at its first session alter j the adoption of this Amendment, and from time j to time thereafter, to such laws as shall carry this provision into effectual operation. ! 'jv™ Congress will re-asembles in a few weeks, and, among other things, it is said that the tarifT will lie amended and raised. Whatever may be the result, there will be no rise in the tariff of prices charged for goods of any kind at John /. SterclCs store, his stock having been purchased and paid for while the market was at a low ebb. THE MARKETS. Lewistovvn November, 2s, 1851. Faid bu Jltnlei .
