doii not Agree with that old-fashioned book, the
vihle, or even with a sentiment of a heathen po
I, that man was born to raise his eyes towards
the heavens for hogism has completely explod
ed all antique and serious notions.
Probably, too, the learned hog paid his visit,
in the nick of time, to nssit in training our
young stump orators for their rhetorical efforts
during the present political canvass. Influenced
by the example of his eloquence, how they will
declaim against their adversaries. On one side
they will, after the most approved hog manner,
turn up clay arguments, and hurl them in the eyes
of their opponents, and, on the other, root up the
poisonous puke, and dose their daring enemies :
So that it will be, on both sides, a very hoggish
contest that is, to say, it will bo carried on
in the most decent i.y-1e. and both parties will
return Irom the battle field covered with glory,
as the learned hog comes out of his gutter-bnth
after his careful ablution.
Hut, if our young orators should not have so
profited by the example of their master, ns to
distinguish themselves very particularly by their
eloquence, they may, at least, have acquired the
very accomplished art of grunting, which may be
as profitable to the community as the method of
speaking articulately, practiced by many, which
consists in vox et pretere.i nihil, words, and words
only.
Now, I do hope that none of my readers will

ilium mm & consuier mem lit any inner iigui t
than that of most rational and respectable citi
zens, who are proof against all humbug, and ar
dently desirous of advancing the interests of sci
ence, politeness, morals, and religion. And. cer
tainly, no reflecting mind, that is not imbued
with a fanatical spirit, and puritan notions of
morals, could have the effrontery to censure
those persons who are so forward to advance the
best interests of the town by patronizing all new
sciences, and all the accomplishments of the age,
such as rum drinking, card-playing, gambling,
nigger songs, profane swearing, circuses, then
tres, fashionable dancing assemblies, and all the
kindred arts of refined social life.
Certainly all good citizens should feel grateful
In such for the honor which their most orderly
conduct reflect upon the town, and, especially,
should parents thank them for the immensu aid
which they render to them in training up their
children in the way in which they should go.
Posterity itself will certainly do homage to their
memory ; and, while the names of all the weak
minded and puritanical christians of the town,
will sink into forgetfulnoss, theirs will be em
blazoned high on the roll of fame. Who does
not sigh for their distinction ? Ye dull citizens
awake, and rise from your sloth, and join the no
ble company, that ye may commence with the
loft y spirits of the age, and attain to the sacred
honorsof such virtuous dead the benefactors of
Sunbury, the lights of the world!

that a hole had been very ingeniously

FOR TIIK AMHtllC"t.
Ma. EniTon : Myself and neighbors me de
cidedly in favor of again nominating EDWARD
Y. BKKillT, as the Democratic candidate for the
Assembly. Mr. Bright mule a vciy good mem
her he was active and industrious always st his
post, and did his duty faithfully. He was chair
man of a very important, Committee, and one that
required a great deal of attention and labor. His
appointment to this station shows that he had the
respect and confidence of his fellow mcinlteni, and
they say that we never sent a more industrious
and ait' n'ive niemlter.
.Mr. Bright took an active and leading part in
retrenching the etpenaes of die Legislature, and in
introducing principles of rc momy into every
branch nf the Government. He was on ihe Com
mittee or Accounts, through whose exertions the
reform which distinguished the last Legislature
was brought about. He went about saving the
pe pi. 's money in enrnest. A few days after the
opening of the session, he offered the resolution
which became a la, giving the Public Primirg
and Binding to the lowest bidder. This measure
alone will save about Tks Thousand Dollahs
annually.
It was suspected that greit frauds had been
committed by the primers under former laws. The
Committee on Accounts set about the investiga
tion of these accounts with a determination to
lerret out the bauds. Mr. Bright was one of the
most industrious mid persevering members uf that
Committee. The result was that oveicharges of
ihc piiuters, to the amount of thirteen thousand
dollars, were discovered and suits directed to be
brought to recover that sum back into the Treasury.
The contingent expenses of tho lust Legislature
were not one fifth of Ihe expenses of the prcceed
ing. Somo $ 15 or f 20,000 were saved to the
Commnnwealili in ibis matter alone, by the care
and economy of the Commitee of Accounts.
Mr. Blight then has done bis duty faithfully and
honestly. He has rained out tho wishes of the
people, and ought to be re-elected unanimously.
Honor t' whom honor is due. Let the faithful
public servant be rewarded, and the best inlercs s
of the peoplo will be faithfully represented.

Mr. Editor : It being in accordance with the
usages of the Democratic party, for the people,
previous to the formation of the County Ticket,
to bring before the public the names of such in
dividuals as they may deem most worthy to dis
charge the duties belonging to the olfices within
their gilt, we would recommend to the consider
ation oi'the Democratic Electors of Northumber
land county, Maj. WILLIAM L. DEWART
as a candidate for the Legislature. Should the
people see proper to elect Maj. Dcwart as their
Representative, we feel confident that they will
find in him a public servant of distinguished a
bilities, an intelligent, firm, and tinwaveiiug De

exli riding nur scope and gathering a greater and

of the Ainetican reader.

Consider it beneath our dignity to borrow wit ami
wisdom from Punrh ; and, when we think it good
enough, shall use the thunder nf The Times. We
shall increase our vaijely ly importations from the
continent of Europe, and from the new growth of
the British Colonies.
Geographical discoveiies, ibe progress ef Colo
iiiztiii;n, (which is ex'entling over iho whole world.)
and Voyages and Tiavels, will be favoiile mailer
for our selections ; and in general, wo shall syste
matically and very fully acquaint our readers with
the great depsrlnu nl nf Foreign affairs.
While we a-qure t make hc Livimo Ann de
sirali.e to all who wish to keep themselves infoim
rd of the rapid progress of the movement to
Statesmen, Divines, Lawyers and Physicians to
men of business, and to men of leisure il is a still
stronger obj cl of our ambition to make it attrac
tive and useful lo their Wives and Children. We
believe llint we can thus d.i some good in our day
and generation : and hope to m ike the Wotk indis
(icrisat'le in every well-informed family. We say
indispensable, because in this d ly of cheap litera
ture il is not pns-ihle to guard against the influx of
what is bad in t -sti' and vicious in morals, in any
other way ihnu by furnishing a Millicieiil supply of
a bealiby chiracler. The menial and nioial appe
tite niu-t be gratified.
We hope, that, bv " winnowing the wheat from
ihe chall." by providing abundantly for the imagin
alion, and by a huge collection of Biography, Voy
ages and 'Travels, lli-tnry, and more solid matter,
we may produce a woik which shall be popular,
while at the same time il will aspire to raise the
standard of pubi c ta-te.
The Living Age will be a large pamphlet, hand
somely piinied, mid stitched in a cover, containing
a much inatier as an ordinary duodecimo volume,
and upon good type and paper.
Each nutnls'r sold sepniaiely, and with the usual
discount to wholesale dealers. Persons at a dis
tance will be supplied by mail, on their remitting lo
us si y sum of mom y thd may be convenient.
There will be tbir v six numbers, making three
