PARKS FOR THE PEOPLE.
A recent stroll over the far-famed Boston Com
mon has a wakened In us much of the enthusiasm
in favor of Public Parks or pleasure-grounds for
tho use of the people, which was manifested
by tho late Mr. Downing, of the Horlimltipist,
and which that valuablo magazine continues to
evince under its present eminent editor.
That public parks attached to cities are great
public blessings, no one With a heart to appre
ciate tho beautiful in nature, can fail to per
ceive; that they conduce to the health as well
as the pleasure of the people, all experience
testifies. The Common is tho chief attraction
of Boston, and well may tho people of that
city feel proud in tho possession of so noble a
piece of ground in the very heart of the town,
devoted to their pleasure and recreation.
( Nearly all travelers, it is said, linger a day or
two at tho Bbvere or tho Tremont House, for
the pleasure a visit to the Common affords, and
so well convinced, are the city authorities of
tho advantages to the city of public pro
menades, that a new- piece of land, embracing
some thirty or forty acres, has recently been
laid out and planted with trees, shrubs’ and
flowers as a public garden, where, in a few
years, every species of plant and flower will bo
exhibited for the instruction and pleasure of
tlid men, women and children, whose only
means of enjoying the works of tho great Crea
tor is through a channel open to all, tho poor
est and Humblest as well as the more favored
citizen.
The importance of Parks, in social and sani
tary points of view, are- beginning'to bo ade
quately appreciated by the people of other
■American cities. New York, proud of her
rank 1 as the commercial metropolis of the
Union, iB now engaged jn an enterprise which
is destined to make that city a more pleasant
place of resort to the thousands of strangers
who visit it, than it now is, while to the masses
of her own people, the great body of toil
worn citizens, a great boon will bo conferred
by opening np to their use for fresh air, relaxa
tion, and pleasure, tho new Centrai Park.
The ground set apart for this splendid public
place commences at 59th street, and ex
tends up to 109th' street, a distance of nearly
two miles and a half, and on one side is bound
ed by tho Fifth, and on tho other by the Eighth
Avenue: tho Park embracing within its limits
seven hundred and seventy-six acres of undu
lating ground, fifty acres of which are being
laid out as a parade-ground for tho use of the
militaiy.
For this Duo park the people ore indebted to
the public spirit and energy which charac
terize the men of wealth and position in that
community, but to no one moro than to Mr.
Kinosland, the lato Democratic Mayor of tho
city, who in a message to the City Councils
urged the measure as ono of no ordinary im
portance to tho citizens. Wo extract tho fol
lowing paragraph from his message :
“ There are places on tho island easily accessible
and possessing all tho advantages of wood, lawn
and water, which might, at a comparatively small
expense, bo conyertoa into a park, which would be
at once tho pride and ornament of the City.—
Buoh a park, well laid out, would become tho favor
ite resort of all classes. There is no park on the
island deserving the name, and while I cannot be
lieve that any ono oan be found to advance ap objoc
jeotloh against the expediency of having suon a
ono in our midst, I think that tho expenditure of
a sum necessary to procure and lay out a park of
snffioient magnitude to answer tke purposes above
noted, would bo well and wisely appropriated, and
would bo returned to us four-fold, in tho health,
happiness and comfortof thoso whose interests are
specially intrusted to our keeping—the poorer
cinsses.
'‘The establishment of such ft park would provo a
lasting monument to the wisdom, sagacity and
forethought of its founders, and would soeure the
gratitude of thousands yet unborn, for the bless*
ings of puroair, and the opportunity for innocent
healthful enjoyment.’’
The want of some sucli largo open space
for the recreation and pleasure of the
people had long been fety and the sug
gestions of the enlightened Chief Magis
trate, were triumphantly carried out by suc
cessive Democratic Administrations, by secur
ing for the iVee use of the people, the largest
public park on this continent; and now, under
skilled superintendents, the work of improve
ment has commenced. To Mr. Dillon, the
late Corporation Counsel, much is also due for
his unwearied devotion to this great work, and
we trust he may long live to enjoy the satisfac
tion of seeing this great public pleasure
ground in all the maturity of its, attractions.
The present Chief Magistrate, Fernando
Wood, has also always shown the deepest
interest in the progress of this work, devoted
to rural beauty, healthful recreation, and pure
atmosphere.
Philadelphia has not kept pace witli her
sister cities in these good works of improve
ment, so benevolent in their design, so inviting
to the eye, so beneficial to the health, so
humanizing in their effects, now almost by
common consent regarded absolutely indispen
aable to the health, happiness, and prosperity
of the people.
One hundred and eighty years have elapsed
since Penn laid out the plan of his infant city,
reserving for the use of posterity the small
squares now so much valued by the citizens of
the central portion of our consolidated city.
Could our good founder have looked into tho
fhture and behold a city of more than half a
million of souls, with its hundred thousand
houses, his benevolence would doubtless have
provided for us ample tracts of land in South
wark and Moyamensingn in the Northern
Liberties and Spring Garden, and on the mar
gin of our beautiful Schuylkill, to bo held for
ever sacred from woTk-shops and dedicated to
the enjoyment of tho people. We have gone
on increasing far beyond all the visions of our
early founders, but exhibiting lesß sagacity by
omitting to provide, from time to time, ample
open spaces to meet the wants of the multi
tude of busy workers now dwelling without
the bounds of the original city limits.
;PftotJD, the historian: of Pennsylvania,
writing nearly a century after the tirtie of
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1857.
Penn, complains of the city being, in his day,,
too much cut up into small and oonflned
spaces, by narrow lanes and alleys, not suitable
for tho heat of the climate, nor proper for the"
health of the inhabitants; for the benefit of
whom in crowded cities, as much free and,
open air is requisite as can possibly be oh-;
talned. Among tho improvements prayed fob
by the old historian, he designates “a further,
provision of suitable and convenient open and
vacant spaces of ground, public, spacious
airy walks, planted with trees and fenced,
in and protected fVom ail nuisances, in
every part of the city-plan and vicinity
for the greater conveniency and healthiness of
tho people.” When Proud wroto this com
plaint and made tire suggestion for Improve-,
ment, Philadelphia contained less than 2,700
taxable inhabitants, and hot over 8,000 hov ,';s.
The city has since stretched out Its arms iq
every direction, covering a vast space' of land
witli ils compactly-built houses, now number
ing, perhaps, more than seyenty thousand,
while nearly a hundred thousand names' hAvo
been added to onr assessment list. Yet witli
all this vast increaso in size, population, and
wealth, how little have we accomplished in the
way of providing suitable public grounds dCr
voted to the uses of those who aro necessarily
compelled to spend their whole time within
the walls of the town. In casting our eyes
over tho city of to-day we can And but one
small public square which has been provided’
at tire public expense during the last can-;
tury.
Jefferson Square, in tho old District ,41
Southwark, is tho only pno which has been;
provided for public use, auti that is a green
spot of hut two or throe acres.
* It is true we have Lemon Hill, which, witli
tho addition recently made to it, through the
liberality of citizens, will afford us spaco for a
beautiful though comparatively small park bt
somo seventy or eighty acres, but though these
grounds are now dedicated to the pcopio for
park purposes, under the name of Fairmonpt
Park, wo owe this dedication to tho instinct of
self-preservation, which compelled us to guard
from polintion tho great reservoir from winch
we obtain the water we drink. The only other
pieco of land large enough to he appropriately
termed a Park, is the Hunting Park of fortyrflve
acres, which a few prominent citizens in f 864
presented to the city for the uso of the pooplo.
Our expenditures, therefore, tor public grounds
have been small indeed, when compared with
the number aud wealth of our people, and Ihe
admitted value of public parks in a sanitary
point of view'.
Citizens in their individual capacity havo
contributed liberally toward our recent acqui
sitions of land for parks, for they duly appre
ciate their vital importance to tho well-being
of the great body of tho people and to the city.
Within tho last throo years one hundred and
ten thousand dollars have been contributed by
one or two hundred citizens for the Hunting
Parle aud Fairmount Park. During tho paat
fifteen years the authorities have expended
$76,000 for Lemon Hill, $14,000 on acconnt
of Jefferson Square and assumed mortgages on
that square of $71,000, and on Fairmount
Park of $65,000. This we believo to be the
total of expenditures for park land by citizens
and the corporate authorities since tho foun
dation of the city. Whatever, therefore, mjiy
bo said of the extravagance of our civic rulors
in the past, no one will accuse them of being
too lavish in providing grassy spots for those
who have not tho means of providing them
selves with suburban rkreats, securely fenced
in,, for private recreation.
We require two or three targe, well-planted
tracts of land.within ready access ofthe peo
■plo; and we hope tho wise and benevolent nien
of ampin means, whose thoughts may be turned
toward thoso desirable improyemeqtaj
continue to give their aid and countenance to'
their speedy introduction. We trust, too,
that our authorities may not exhibit the apathy
of those who have gone before us, but, as far’
as the limited means of tho city will allow,
that a cordial and hearty greeting will be ten
dered to ail citizens who may show a disposi
tion to aid with their abundance, measures so
much to the interests of tho city we cherish.
Let our civic rulers at all times be prepared,
at heart at least, to respond to tho appeal of
our poet artist, Buchanan Read, who from a
far off land exclaims—
“ Oh whorefora ye.
Who hold tho welfare of the town at hoart,
And wield its destinies, will ye bohold
The City, with its hot and rapid feet,
Trample tho woods and blight tho fields, nor leave
Ono ampler space, where, on a day like this,
The thankful throng may walk abroad, and feel
The pleasnro Which it is to brouthe tho air.
Which, unlmpodod by tho heated walls,
Takes noalth anil freshness from tho loaves it stirs,
And gives to whom inhales! Nor yet too late,
While those wide spaces, fall of sun and Bhadc,
And antique trees, with daily trembling filled.
And approhonsion of tho approaohing axe,
O’er Schuylkill spread their asking arms, and call
Aloud for your protcotion. Ere the streot,
With frequent ringing of the builder’s ttowel,
Usurps their quiet depths—go boldly forth,
Aud, with your poworful wand of office, draw
Tho boundary lino, which none shall dare invade;
And every tree thus rescued, when the orowds
Of future generations walk boßeath,
Shall whisper to thoir grateful oars your namo,
And be a vernal monument, oaoh your
Renewing honor to tho resouor.”

Mr. Editor: If you will accept the honost

/gVbwy tho has
.displayed no ordinary discrimination in selecting
hU staff of Alds. Another great feature of Tue
Press, is, its' general eorrespondonco, whicU is
indeed a most capital idea to insure the widest
possible succoss of your “ Weekly,” as I nm well
assured that that kind or intclligonoo Groin vari
ous sections constitutes by far the most sought-after
portion of our family journals; but especially, do
not oombor your columns with those abominable
trashy “Tales ” cf tbo day, for you may roly upon
it, that whe?o ono reader i 3 gained by them, at
least two would bo gained by boaring the reputa
tion of eschowing thorn altogether.
I havo just finished rtadiug tho second number
of “Familiar Life of Pennsylvania.” I read .t
aloud to tho old woman and tbo girls, (os wo old,
used-up gentleman-farmers occasionally do,) and
thoy all doolurod it as good as a play, especially
such parts of It as they had helpod play in them
selves, before now.
Brotbor Brown ‘and Jimmy Culp kopt them on
an lusupprossible giggle all the while. But, really,
somo of its delineations of. character are masterly.
Some of his ludicrous take-offs (whoevor be may
bo) are most doueedly Dickonsish; in fact, I don’t
know but ho ontdickcns Dickons in some respects;
and, taking italtogothor, that Pennsylvania sketch
alone has already paid me for my year’s subscrip
tion. I would meroly say to tho modost author of
it, that If ho should ever attompt to write anything
elso, he need not bo at all ashamod to affix his
name; for wo folks through tho country sro rathor
tenacious on tho subject of who’s who, whon wo
read a thing we particularly like.
By the very way, speaking of your Weekly re
minds me of our little -Jaok—l say little, because
ha happens to be our youngest, and is now likely
t 6 be, though he stands six feet ono inoh in hi 9
stockings—ho iaworking for The Press. To quote
his own peculiar vocabulary, ho is “ down on them
there Now York lying muohinos, and mean* to
have a paper oiroulato in tho neighborhood that
tells tho truth,” and has accordingly gone to work
in good carnost to to get up a club for tho Weekly
Press, and from what ho tolls mo itislikely to
be one that will desorve tho name; not merely u
littlo switch of twenty , but a regular olub, hickory
at that, to tho back-bone; though in fact it would
bo rather difficult to soaro up much of anything
else, as negro-adorers in this vicinity aro nearly
os scarco as whito crows.
In conclusion, my Jeff wonders if tho Colonol
will tolerate bis lioportinenoe to suggest an im*
prorement to tho “Weekly.” Ho is engaged in
tho storckeeplng business, and as a consequence is
obliged to tako a good many shinplustcrs. A truco
to the plagued stuff!—nothing Democratic about
them, I nssuro you; however, that’s nothing hero
nor there* except that they are, and that Jeff
gets a good raauy of them, and onco in awhile
when ho comes to count up, he finds he has been
“stuck” with a “wildoat.”
Now, what ho proposes, is this: that you devote
ono comer of your “Weekly” to just such bank
note information, from wook to week, as you havo
opportunity for procuring, suoh as new counterfeits,
broken banks, doubtful couoorns, &c.
Now, I don’t know what you may think of tho
boy’s suggestion, but it seems torao there's somo
thing in it. Cut I have already spun this yarn to
an undue length, and must therefore break it off
and tie a knot in it at once.
Hoping that you will attribute tho humorsomo
parts of this poor letter to nothing worse than tho
generous impulses of an old man who has been pro*
vorbially funny from his childhood, I closo with
tho benediction that Heaven-may always keop you
in the right, and over nervo you with strength to
battle aguinst tho wrong.
Yours verily, B. D.

[Correspondence of The Press.] ,
I admire the oloar type, beautiful paper, nnd
tasteful, artistic display of tho “Daily Press.”
I havo seen no paper its equal in theso respects.’
Itseditoriul ability, and iutelligonteorrespondonce,
have quite come up lo public oxpeotatlon; which
from the cxperlonoo o£ the responsible editor, had t
boon raised to a point, difficult to roach.
Pardon mo, howover, if I ask yon to examine
whether your tri-weekly paper cannot be improved
in somo particulars. There Is a large mass of your
readors, or thoso whom I think would bcoome so,
who do not tako a dally paper; Or if they do, would
still like to havo a compact resume of passing
events nnd discussions, in spoh a form as they
could be prosorved by binding. I was for many
years a subscriber to the tri-weokly National
Gazette, (although I never liked its political bias)
because of the caro with which it was made up,
excluding local articles, and most of its oity adver
tisements. I think one of the best newspapers of
tho preaont day, is the “Semi-Weekly Tribune, ”
of New York; at tbe same titfla I detoatmany of
its doctrinos, as tending to subvert the Christian
faith, ami tho principles of our glorious national
Constitution.
Amongst our Demoorntlo papers, not only of
Philadelphia, but of the United Statos, a good tri-*
weekly newspaper is a, desideratum. Yet, if yoa
will reflect upon it, there is a very largo class of
readers, liko myself,’ rosidmg quietly in the coun
try, who would receive a daily paper at best but
irregularly, but who cannot live without the news.
Wo havo not tho slightest interest lu nlno-tenths
of your city advertisements; and wpuld gladly
allow you to ourtail (perhaps save) tho paper on
which they aro printed. I speak now of a great
middle class, of farmers and businoss-men, steady
in thoir attachments, good, prompt-paying people,
just those who would sustain a paper by regular
paymonts and adhering constancy. My father, I
remember*, received and paid for, (or rather paid
for und received,) the Now York Spectator, the
country paper of the Commercial Advertiser , for
more than forty consecutive years; aqd remained
a decided uniform Pennsylvania Demoorat during
tho wholo period. It was because of ils value as a
newspaper that he took it. In the present form
your Tri-Weekly Ppess is merely two dsys Qut
side and inrido flrit and second pages bf
printod on the’same size sheet; with 'ideh. city
advertisements as happen to have’ been placed on
parts of those pages. A good paper, ecrtidqly, but
not what you tonld make of it. Now, the ques
tion I desire to ask you is this: can’t you afford to
make, up a tri-weekly or semi-weekly paper
expressly suited to' tbe class of readers I have
advortod to, leaving out tho olty advertisements
and tho purely local articles?
Give us nil those advertisements which would be
useful, or whloh wore intended for us by your oity
advertisers, and make those advertisers pay for
their rcpublication in your country issue. Givo us
onoo or twice a week a carefully-oorreoted bank
note table, a review of tho market, and a glabco
at stooks now and then. Make your sheet compact
in size and form: for suoh a paper L, for one, would
liko tho quarto form, because it binds better. Yon
would stand, my dear Forney, bright as your
chances aro now, a much wider ohanoe, (if that
phraso will answer) of going down to posterity,
than Is otherwise probable.
As to cost—put tho price at a remunerating rato.
If threo dollars (taking into account tho saving of
pupor) won’t pay, ask threo and a half or four.
Suppose you publish this hasty note, and let your
friends in the country say what they think of tho
suggestions it oontalns. If many of them will offer
as I do, to sond you twonty-fivo good, permanent,
paying subscribers for such a paper, why not pnb-
Uithone? Ever yours, w.
FROM BUTLER COUNTV.
[Correspondence of the Press.]
Butler County, Pa.,Bopt. 1,1857.
As you aro publishing letters from correspon
dents iu all ports of tho good old Keystone, I havo
concluded to writo to you, thinking a word from
Butler would bo aceeptablo. Although this oounty
has not the natural or artificial advantages which
most of tho counties In Western Pennsylvania pos
sess, yet sho is rich in agricultural and mineral
resources. There aro hundreds of acres of ©oai
lands within] her borders, cannot and bituminous,
yet untouched, sleeping in her old hills, while
iron, limoßtono, &c., aro found in abundanoo.
Butler county was organised in 1803. It was
formed out of the northern portion of Allegheny
county, and contains nt tho present time a popula
tion of ovor 40,000—a highly iutelligent ruid indus
trious people. The original settlers were princi
pally Scotch, Irish, Pennsylvania Germans, and
sotno Prenoh, tho descoi of whom aro still the
bulk of tho popui-' .. Tho soil is a gravel loam,
woll suited for an the various grains native to tho
cliraato, and is highly productive. The surface of
the country is uuduluting.
Things in tho political world are as yet quiet.
Tho Democratic ticket has been in the field for
somotluio, and is composed of men who aro good
and true. Wilinot, the great embodiment of aboli
tionism and freo trade, is placarded to be hero on
tho 17th inst., but he will find a slim audience in
attendance to swallow bis disunion and abolition
doctrinos. The people were humbugged enough
Inst fall with slavery, and the Opposition will not
inako anything (by bringing tho Prince of Hum
bugs hero to try it again. Mr. Wilmotwill find,
us his party has already done, that tho people of
Pennsylvania aro not to bo carried away with
overy “wind of doctrine,” put tliat their attach
ment to tho Union nud tho Constitution is tho samo
as it was in tho days gono by, and that, this fall,
it is their determination to crush out abolitionism,
and vindicate Doraooratia principles by the tri
umphant eleotion of Win. F. Packer.
More anon when Wilinot comes.
