Wo have, on many occasions, urged the propriety of publishing all public laws in one or more newsps. | pers in the different counties—the expanse to be paid | either from the Stale Treasury, or by the different ooonlies, ss may bo considered best. Wo now again revert to the aobject, for the purpose of attracting the attention of the press and the people in general, pre vious to tho meeting of the Legislature. That the publication of all public laws in the dif ferent counties of tho Stale is necessary, no man of j the least discernment will attempt to controvert. In most of the western Stales this plan of making the people acquainted with the laws by which they are governed, has been adopted, and has provcdmosl beneficial io its results. ‘Every man his oirtHaw yer* should be tho ambition of us ail. But how are wa to know anything about our laws, when we are not permitted to read the Acts of our Legislature T At every session of our Legislature hundreds of Acts* or taws, (many of (hem general in (heir character,) are pasted; these laws are published In pamphlet form, for tbo benefit of our legal friends alone—the people never see them, they know not what they ■ contain, and often, very often, violate & law of (he | Stale, and are only made aware to the fact when summoned into Court to answer for the miadcmemor. How often have we heard lawyers at the bar plead* ing for a client, and attempting to create a sympathy for him on the ground that the client had been ignor ant of the law he had violated 7 The publication of public laws, we contend, would lessen crime as well as court expenses. •Give the people light,* is a sig nificant and sublime sentiment. The advice contain ed in those font words is a volume In itself, and should be heeded by oor law.mohcrs and all in authority.— Yes, ‘give the people light,’ by placing before (hem all information possible ; and more especially give j them light on the snbject of the laws by which they | are governed. Of all other information, a knowledge of oar general laws Is what the masses require. We believe a Bill was introduced in the last Leg. islature, making provision for the publication of the general laws in the different counties. But, by tbe cunning of lawyer members it was slaved off, or postponed indefinitely. Gentlemen of tho legal pro* Cession are of coarse opposed to having tho laws pub lished, because they known very well that it would interfere with their business. The more ignorant the people can be kept on the subject of (he laws (hey are required to observe, the richer will bo the harvest I for the lawyer. It is not to be wondered at there, fore, that lawyers are opposed to tho publication of the laws —they would consider it an encroachment i upon their former privileges—an interference with their breid and bolter. But, we appeal to the farm- er, the mechanic, the business man, and ask wheth er this is not a question in which they are parlicu* j larly interested 7 As at present published, we ven 1 tare to say there is not one in five hundred of oor citizens who know anything whatever of the nature of our public laws. And yet they are boond,by fines and penalties, to observe those Uws, the provisions ofwhicb they have no way of ascertaining. This is wrong—outrageously wrong, and demands a remedy, Wc say then, let as follow the example of the West ern and New England States, and have oar general laws published in the newspapers of the different counties. Tbe expense would be but a trifle to each county—tho advantages to every community cannot be estimated. Wo hope our brelhern of the press will look at this subject, and enlighten the people in regard to it.— Iflhe coming Legislature does noi contain too many lawyers, wo rosy hope to see this question receive the consideration its merits demand. APPaOACU OP WISTBR, In spite of the gorgeous livery assumed by Na ture during this month, there Is always a sad tdne in the music of its breezes. Its melodies are in a minor key. Winter already casts his shadow be fore, and Sommer flees his approach. Love our fireside as we may, wc cling instinctively to Iho careless season, when warmth was not to seek.— In an ideal life, Summer would tetgn perpetually. When we muse of brighter worlds—-when wo try to imagine what will bo the condition of the blest, who ever thinks of firel No poet oP the ideal over draws a cheering or exalting imago from win ter. “Thick-ribbed ice,” and regions where “the air burns frost and cold performs the effect of fire," have been called in to heighten oor notion of a place of torment. So we never long for the “frosty Caucasus,” even when we are molting under Cancer. Yet the pleasures of this season are neither few nor slight. “Home bred happiness" begins with cool weather. The friends, whom pursuit of health and fresh air has separated for two or three months, will now meet, and exchange greetings with zest. All is animation between the history of Summer wandering and the preparation for Winter. It seems like a new lease of life to be happy, refreshed and inspiiilod by the heart-cheer ing breezes of our lakes and mountains. May they include the poor and needy in their plans for the approaching severe season. The Result In Hew York. The New York Stale election hoe of course re tailed in the choice of oil the Whig nominees for Stale officers, except the two Judges of tho Court of appeal*. Both section* of the Democratic party having been united in luppurt of Ruoqles and De mo. Democrat*, they have been elected by largo m*. jorilies, thus conclusively showing that the Whig victory in Now York, con only bo attributed to the division in our parly.

The Richmond Enquirer—one of tbs ablest Dem ocratic journals in tho Union—thus concludes some strong but just observations upon the unjustifiable manner In which the administration has been,and still is assailed. It says;— ••We lorn from this sickening spectacle of sordid motive, of base treachery, and mean malice, to con. template the attitude of the mass of the democracy —of men who care nothing for the •spoils’—whoso principles are not a marketable commodity—who sol only from honorable impulses—whose support can neither be bought by favors nor be forfeited by neglect. Where do we find such men si (be present moment of peril to the democratic party 7 Not, sorely, in the rank* of the opposition; nor yet in the doubtful position of an indepandest neutrality. They are not hostile to the administration, pot are they indifferent to its success—they areneitbtfopen enemies nor treacherous friends. It is enough for ' them to know that with the fate of the -admialslrs* : tion of President Pierce is Involved (h* fata 6f the democratic party, and thsi the overthrow of one Is the ruin of the other. They tro true to party obit gallons as (hey are faithful lo party principle*, and (hey deem it no less criminal to disregard (he former than to betray the latter. To these men—and of such Is tho great muss of the people—a democratic administration will never appeal in vain. From these men whig papers will neither got aid nor com* fort in their war on the champions of tho principles of the democratic parly.” The Exercise of the Mental Faculties^ The pursuits of literature, politic*, or commerce, ■re often of *o exciting a kind, that in piece of the power* of the mind being exorcised, the; are too often overtaxed and (aligned. Honor, power, or praise acquired, stimulate* to increased exertion; the ardonl student, the ambitions politician, the ea gcr merchant, forgetting all but the one object be fore them, labor on and on ; having recourse to artificial stimuli to recruit lire wearied powers, taking no amusement, neglecting to take bodily exercise in the open sir, until gradually dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and other ailments supervene,(he mind becomes less vigorous, the memory less retentive, the perception loss scute, tbo judgement less scon rale, and gradually increasing imbecility of mind and weakness of body compel (ho abandonment of liioao pursuits which, if they had been more wisely followed, might have led to fortune, fame, and hon orable distinction. It is especially in the meridian oflifo, when (bo mental powers are perhaps most fully developed and demanded to bo most actively employed, when the mind is really capable of so much, that there seems no limit to its capabilities— it ii (lioo Uiia fatol error of over taxation, of 100 continuous labor, is ibo most common.

Tm Sandwich Islands. —The Now York Tri- ] bunosaya: “By private advicoa from (ho Sandwich | Islands, we learn that (ho question of commencing , negotiations for the ceaalon of the sovorrgoty of the ialanda tolhe United State*, opon each condition* at will aecuro to the inhabitant* all their civil right* and thoir property, ii being generally diacusaod by the foreign resident* in Iho lalands. It is (ho opin ion of our correspondent that the general desire for oeaaion will operate upon the minds of the king ahd chiefs. The ropreaenttlives of Orest Britain and Franco are voiy much diatarbed at Ibis slate of facts. Accordingly, on August 30, they asked an audience of the King and Privy Council, "for the purpose of expressing their sentiments respecting some occurrences which they conceive deeply In volved In the soverignty of the King and the indo* I 1 pondenoo of the islands.

Very possibly iho question of annexing the islands may be bro*l Vbefore the next Congress. The Elections. NEW YORK.—Ab was expected on all hands, the Whigs have elected (be entire State ticket, (except the Judges of the Court of Appeals which were run in common by both wings of the'Demo cratio parly.) The following offices will, there* fore, be filled by Whigs for (he ensuing year, viz: Secretary of State, Comptroller, Slate Treasurer, Attorney General, Canal Commissioner, Inspec tor of State Prisons, Engineer and Surveyor, and Clerk of the Coart of Appeals. The Whigs have also carried both branches of the Legislature by immense majorities, which will give them a U. S. Senator, and the control of one branch at least ((he State Senate) for the next two years. In the City the Whig and Reform tickets are largely in (he majority in the Board of Aldermen and Councils. Such is the legitimate fruit of the unhappy dis. sensions in the Democratic party of the Empire Stale. The vote, so far as received, indicates a major!* ly for the Hards over the Softs throughout the State. In the-. City the vole stood as follows: Hards, 14,423; Softs, 8,845; Whigs, 14,153. I'he combined vote of the Hards and Softs throughout the State greatiy exceeds the Whig vole—showing conclusively that, when Democrats have an overwhelming majority of the popular vote. What worse than folly, therefore, to quarrel about trifles, and thus throw (hr State for two years, perhaps longer, Into the hands of the common enemy. NEW JERSEY.—The “Jersey Blues" have come up to the work gloriously. The Democrats have swept the Stale carrying their candidate for .Governor, Rodman M. Pairs, by a majority of 1 nearly 8000, and electing a large majority in both ; branches of the Legislature. The late Whig parly !is scarcely known any longer in the Slate. It -is emphatically among the things that were, but are 1 not. LATER PROM CALIFORNIA. We loam from New Orleans, that the steamship Daniel Webster arrived at the South west Pass on the 6th inst., with advices to the I6ih October. She brings one hundred and seventy passengers, and $50,000 in gold. John Mitchell, the Irish patriot, who recently escaped from Australia, ar rived safely with his family at San Francisco on the 12th alt. A public dinner had been tendered to him, before his departure for New York, which was accepted. The city of Sonora was partly destroyed by fire on the 3d uh., and the loss of properly will amount to $300,000. Tbe Supreme Court of California has made an Important decision, declaring valid all grants made In accordance with the Mexican law. The effect of this will be to oust hundreds from lots held by ibem for years, and restore iltero to the original grantees, h is considered a death blow to the squatters, and will cause millions of property to change bands by iho more operation of law. The magnetic telegraph is working from San Joso to San Francisco. Murders and outrages are occurring throughout the Stale to an alarming ex tent. The old city government of San Francisco had retired, after contesting the election, and the new one been finally organized. .The improve moots in iho city were progressing at a wonderful rate. Bigler's majority throughout the Slate is eighteen hundred and five votes. From Sandwich Islands tho nows is highly im portant. Dr. Judd had been removed from the office of Minister of Finance, and Elisha H. Allen, (ale U. S. Consul, appointed in his place. A de cided atop had been taken towards annexation to the United States. The French and British Con suls had protested to the King against such an act, and the American Commissioner had replied in a firm but dignified manner. This movement had caused the greatest excitement in the island. Latk Forbion News.—Tho steamship Frank lin, with four days Maier news fiom Europe, ar rived at Now York on Thursday morning. No definite action had taken place in regard to the Turko-Russian question, it was reported that the French and English fleets, at the earnest request of tho Sultan, had passed tho Dardanelles, and were anchored ofl" Constantinople. No actual hostilities had commenced, although the Russians were preparing to cross tho Danube, to push still further their invasion—while on tho otner hand, Omar Pasha hod procured a largo number of boats and pontoons end made other arrangements for crossing that river to attack the invaders. It is stated that the news of the declaration of war by the Porte, excited very unpleasant sensations at St. Petersburg on account of the indisposition of the people of the Southern portion of Russia to en» gage in hostilities. Notwithstanding the many signs of war, the general opinion in London and Paris was that the difficulty would yet bo peacea bly adjusted. Breadsluffe had risen in price in England, in consequence of the Eastern news.— Floor was from 6d. to Is. higher, and Wheat 2d., although sales had been checked in consequence of (ho high prices. ** U uclb Sam's Balance Sheet exhibits a very comfortablo array of figures on (ho credit side.— Ho may bo considered a prelly well-to-do old fel low, just now.
