We go fe )r. reform throa,h oat, a thorough, general and searching re .:..fortn in every department of the Govern meet. The party in power, has transform ed the gimlet-a:nem into a worse than Auge. an stable, and the people• are now dote- min ed to purify it in every stall. Nothing short era complete purification will answer—noth ing short - of this, - will relieve the people Irma theintolerable burden of tares & impositions heaped upon thorn.—Carlisle The York Republican, a staunch Whig paper, has raised the bannci for Rimer.— This is right. Wo do hope and believe, that, although there may be a little division of sentiment amongst our brethren of the press on this subject, we will all be found moving, with one heart and one mind, for the "farmer of Washington." It would be the height of folly in the tehiga, to take up a man of their own, sepe rate' from the Anti-Masons, because they (the Whigs) would never unite on him. It • must be obvious to every reflecting man, that to unite upon Mr. Ititner, is prompted both by policy and interest: and we are happy to learn, that the whigs oftla3 own- Ay, so far as we know, (and we have taken some pains to ascertain their sentiments) are determined to go for Ritner and no other.— If we be not successful note, we are unc:one, —we shall be hereafter divided, and our in fluence as a patty, lost beyond redemption for years.--Carlisle Herald. It will he seen that we have nailed our banner to the mast-head, and as with a right good will, wo haul it up to its position, we greet it with the patriotic stanza: "Forever float that standard sheet, Where lives the foe but falls before us, With freedom's soil beneath our feet, And freedom's banner waving o'er us." We are led to take this step by every in ducement of principle and public duty. 'We have regarded Jacksonism as the greatest curse which ever afflicted this nation—we have looked upon the state administration 'as radically corrupt, and spending the peo ple's money with the most thriftless extrava gance on favorites and political intriguers; and now having a candidate presented to us whose doctrines of national policy fully co incide with our own, and who, if elected, would dislodge the' vermin now feeding on the body politic and reduce our state govern ment to order and economy,we shall eng age heart and hand'in his support .. The domi maw party, whose only'bond of union has been the lust of office, having at length quar relled about their respective shares of the "spoils," there is now every encouragement for good citizens,with harmony of sentiment and concert of action, to combine their ef forts for the prostration of the common foe, and'should this determination prevail, am ass is certain.— York Republican. The Democrattc Anti-Mcisonic Conven tion with an unanimity characteristic of the party, and worthy the important principles involved, nominated JOSEPH RITNER, Tete FARMER OF WAS UV:OTOS COUNTY. The base expedients resurted to three years ego to defeat his election, have greatly add ed to his already extensive claims on the suffrages of freemen, and we feel ahundautly satisfied that this renewed evidence of the confidence of the people in his worth and eminent fitness for the office, will receive at the coming polls a recognition that will as tound the perpetrators of forgery and the mberners of perjury. His increasing popu larity is fully manifest from the expression of public sentiment in every quarter of the State, and his noinieation will be hailed as the dawn of that reaeneration in politics to which the wise and the good have long been - looking with the deepest solicitude. We augur success from the harmony that prevailed in the convention which has again brought him before the peeple.[Bedfordlnq. The following is one of the resolutions a dopted by the late Anti-Masonic Convention, which placed JOSEPH RITNER, before the People for 4,43 office of Governor. We invite the attention of some of our Whig [we had almost said weak] brethren to its no ble and patriotic seutiments.[Carlisle Her. "Resolved, That no man, if Ritner be elected, need fear for his rights or his lib erties.

A Wow Co:vvENTION.—We observe that some of the Whig papers of this State are busily engaged in fostering a plan which they have in embryo of calling a convention ofthe Whig citizens of this Commonwealth. We hope that the result of their labors will be as "ridiculous" as that of the mountains of old. Wherein consists the necessity for such a measure? If it is intended as a mere matter of firm, it is useless: this is no time fir child's play. If the object be the settling of a IVliig candidate; it is calculated to be productive of the deepest injury to the best interests of the State and Nation. Grant these recusant Whigs all the success which they can possibly in their wildest extrava gance imagine, and the result would be just the withdrawal of so many votes from the already nominated Anti-Van Buren and anti-tax candidate as would defeat his elec tion; and these political enthusiasts would have the consolation of knowing that by their means Pennsylvania was cast bound hand and foot into the arms of the N. York magician, and that they wore instrumental in perpetuating the present system ot mis rule and evtravagance. If the Whig party did not act on principle—if they had a re gard only for the ''spoils of victory," then such a course of conduct might be expected from them, though even under such eircurn• stances its policy would be highly question. able. Now liowever an opportunity is of fered for the attainment of our great patriot ic aims and object; and if we act in a man ner worthy of oar cause, the bondage .in which we have been held to the dominant party—a party characterized only by cor ruption an.' lust of office, will be broken.-- The Plijiadelphia papers have been most busy in ag tating the convention scheme, and ursine a cowardly non committal Whio policy, thus betraying their ignorance of public sentiment through the interior. The independent country Whig presses almost unanimously go for Rituer--the honest and patriotic members of the party, having only the food of the Commonwealth at heart, have already determined to do the same; and we fearlessly predict that a Whig con vention having for its object any other course of action, will be, should it ever as semble, a most lean and pitiful abortion—a body without a soul—representatives with out constituents. PENNTeLvamrs.—Reforring to the state of parties in this State, the Baltimore Pa triot remarks, that "the Jackson Van Buren party have now, two. very important mea sures on hand in Pennsylvania. Tho one is, to so far allay the tempeA which has been raised by the "Mobiles," against the Wolfites, as to prevent putting at hazard the Van Buren electorial ticket of the latter.---- And the other is, to get up,, by Kook or by crook, another Reform or Whig candidate tor Governor, to divide the epposition vote with Ritner, and thus secure Wolfs elec tion, and by consequence, the State for Van Buren. We trust our friends, the Whigs of Pennslivania, will prave themselves both too enlightened and patriot, to second this etliat." The Two and a Half Mil:ion Loan, au thorised by an act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, passed in February 1833, is as a financial tramaction, perfectly unique and unparalleled in 'its character. Even upon the Ece of the documentary evidence connected with it, it stands alone, exciting suspicions which it is difficult to. repress,and meriting censures that it would he criminal to withliald. But if its SECRET history could tie once laid bare to the public eye, and the malign iufluences plainly traced,thut THE GETTYS of the party in this county—and will be sup puled generally by the National Republi• cans, since Gov. Wolf is Identified with Van Burenism." We observe that one or two W' hig pa rers, cart.-.7ipt to hold out the idea that a Whir , carrhil.uo 14 Governor cidi'd be e kct...d at the ensuing election! How env man, invite , the stighte.::t know lcdg:• of the -trenrih of parties of this state, could come to such a conclusion, we are utterly al a loss to divine. If the Whi , r party could, to a man be rallied on a candidate of their own, he might,perhaps,obtain 'micas many votes asJnsephßitner. But ,as at lea RI two. thirds of the Whig party throughout the state will vote for the latter. even if a W hig, candidate could lv induced to accept a nomination and stand a poll: it may not be difficult to estimate the probable chance such a one would have of success.—lbid. irrirrn RFTNI:IL—This gentleman is a gain before the public as a candidate for the office of Governor of this Commonwealth, an-1 placed there by rho unanimous voice of the Anti-Masonic State Convention, held in Harrisburg on the 4th inst. This unanimi ty is 11,4 only flattering to Mr. [tinier, but awrers strongly in favor of his_success. It showsunabated confidence in him, by a par. tv, which came within three thousand o (;teetinz him Circe years ago, nod then only defeateil by base fraud and forgery. His prospects ofsuccess are good. The people are with him, and will rally in strength un der his standard. The flagrant and dis graceful squabbles between the office-hold ers and office-hunters of the '-spoils party," will open the eyes of all honest men, and Ants , as plain as the broad glare of day, the hollow heartedness of their professions.— "Spoils" are the only objects in view, and when obtained, they quarrel like robbers in the division. The people can be no longer blinded by such empty professions. The present Democratic or Jackson Masonic party was well characterized by John Ran dolph—he said they were actuated by seven principles, to wit: "the five loaves and two fishes."—Erie Gazelle. From the York Republican. fi"g Iry : . = V. V 4-4 tot 8: 3 / 4 0111=04•7-41A Fin© the Pennsylvanian, (a Jackson River.) have operated upon the interests of the so vereign people of Pennsylvania, to the enor mous extent of One Hundred Thousand Dol lay in money, and Four Hundred Thousand 1) Mars in damages and discredit, we should then have a fair opportunity of estimating the merits of Many individuals, who are now playing a distineiliilled part in the politics of Pennsylvania, as well as those of Govern or Wolf. Governor Wolf was authorised by an act of the Legislature, to borrow Two Millions and a Half of Dollars, in round numbers.— Though by no means eminent in the profes sion to which he belonged, he was yet law yer enough to know that he could not with impunity transcend the power given him by law. Proposals were made according to notice for the Loan; and the oiler of Dr. Burden, though unquestionably IRREGULAR, was ultimately received. In consecpenee of an agreement made by Dr. Burden, with S. and Allen, sled the request of Dr. Burden that the names of S. and M. Allen might he entered for the Loan, the Secreta ry of the Commonwealth, wrote to them, that "he was instructed by Gov. Wolf to in- Gym them that they would henceforth be considered as the nommas (not the contrac, tors) of the Lorin taken by the Hen. Jesse R. Burden." It is to be remarked, that the taker o the Loan no where considers himself dis charged from the liability he had incurred to the Conimonwealth. He requested the names of S. and M. Allen might be entered for the Loan--not in the place of his own —and the Governor complied with the re quest, and infimned S. and M. Allen that it had been done—hut never indicated, so far as appears, to the oruzinal taker, that he was released or discharged from his responsibili• ty for it. 1. An agent is bound by his instructions, and if he departs from them, he is himself responsible. No man in his senses will de ny this. Governor Wolf W(l9 not authorised by the act of Legislature to release or dis charge ony one; he is authorised to borrow, but not to release or discharge; therefore, if he did release or dischar. , e the original taker of the Loan, from his responsibility, and permitted other persons to become the holders of it, who have proved insolvent; lie has rendered himself liable for the whole a mount of the loss which has accrued to the Commonwealth—viz: One Hundred Thou sand Dollars in money, and rill the damages consequent upon the non fulfilment of the contract--not less perhaps than Half a Mil lion in all. 2 He is still more responsible, since it has re'ver been hinted that the original ta ker of the Loan was not a solvent man. We arc therefore authorized to maintain that if he bad held, him to his contract,and pursued those vigorous and energetic measures which he threatened against the holders, S. & M. Allen, the Commonwealth would have sustained no loss—but having neglected or forborne to do this, or having released. and discharged the original taker, he is him self responsible. 3. But could Gov. Wolf discharge the original taker from his responsibility? We apprehend not. No such power is given in the act of Assembly; and if it be not there, it cannot be implied. Gov. TVolf, however, is plainly in a dilemma. If he discharged khe original taker, he did it without authori- ty, and is therefore personally responsible to the State for the whole loss; if he maintains that he did not discharge him, then he has negligently forborne to prosecute him as he Might to have done, and is equally responsi• hie. Do the friends of Gov. WUII admit or deny? If they admit, he is responsible—if they deny, he is equally so. There is no escape. 4. But it strikes us, that the Aliens are to bo looked upon in the light of sureties-- and we have little hesitation in believing that whenever the cause shall be tried, t hey will be entitled to a verdict, either upon the ground that the principal tins not been prose. cnted, or that he has been discharged with out their consent. George Wolf is therefore clearly respon• sible to the Commonwealth for the enor mous siim of HALF A MILLION of tito ney; yet, notwithstanding this starthug fact, a small knot of Disorganizers, AFTER. the Democratic Convention had been regu larly dissolved, and the matter referred hack to the people—have DARED to nominate him for the office of Governor of Pennsyl vania. The Harrisburg Intelligencer states, that on the 21st inst. the following preamble and resolution was offered by Mr. limn and passed on second reading. This may include pocket money, property in lands, Arabian horses, or any thing else; it is time e precise meaning of the term should be known. Whereas, it appears by a report, made by WILLIAM B. MITCHELL to the Canal Commissioners on the 13th of November, 1834, that the said WiHim B. Mitchell, has paid $35,934 10 for Engineering, dm, and Whereas, it appears by a subsequent re• port made to this House by the Canal Com missioners that the amount of compensation of ALL the officers and agents under the superintendants of the said Wm. B. Mitch ell was only $12,600 for the year ending 13th of November, 1834, and Whereas, it appears, that there has been an expenditure of $23,334 10 by the said William B.

TENNESSEE.—A' Convention lately sat in the capital of Tennessee, for the formation of a new Constitution. The Convention completed its labors in due course, and the work of their hands was submitted to the qualified voters of the State, for adoption or rejection, on the sth and 6th inst. The ballots were cast for the "OLD " or "NEW " Constitution, according to the preferences of the voters. Rut few returns of this elec tion have yet reached us:—the Nashville, Banner, of the 9th, however, presents the aggregate of the votes for the old and new Constitution, in that County, from which it appears that the old has a majority of 265 votes. In Rutherford County, 6 precincts gave a Majority of 17 for the "old," and Williamson County is said to have given a majority of 904 on the same side. These are signs that the new Constitution will be rejected, and that the labors all! late Ten nessee Convention have been in vain.—Bal. timbre Patriot. SHIPS LAUNCHED AT N Fw YOnx.—•There is a statement, in the Journal of Commerce, skewing the number, name and tonnage, of ships launched in the port of New York, in each year, for the last twelve years.

RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIGNS.—FronI a statistical table then before it, the Salem Gazette remarks that the denomination of Catholics in the United States is about 500,- 000, or about one twenty-eighth part dour population. The Calvinistic Baptists are numbered at 2,743,453, nearly one sixth of Our population, on the supposition that the United States embrace fourteen millions within their borders. The Methodist Epis copal Church is set down at 2,00°,000, more than one-seventh part of our population.— The Presbyterian General Assembly is es timated at 1,800,000, or one-eighth of our populatiou. The Congregational orthodox are reckoned at 1,200,000, one-twelfth part. The Protestant Episcopal is rated nt 600,- 000, and the Universalists number 500,000, about the same as the Catholics. The Legislative Council of Florida have passed an act changing the seat efGevern merit from Tallahassee to Mariana, Jackson county. The winter we have passed through will probably long be remembered as one of in tense severity. It has reminded many of our aged inhabitants of the winters thirty, forty and filly years ago, when the ground was not unfrequently covered with snow for months. During the last winter the Dela ware was frozen twice, and fastened with ice, for a short spell, a third time, a circum stance unprecedented in the history of Phila. - delphia, for many years past. Speaking of the cold weather the Annapolis Republican says:— "Talk of old flishioned winters! we'll put the winter of 1834-5, against the best of them for an honest downright cold winter. Let them tell us of a winter in which the Chesapeake Bay, was three' several times frozen across as far down as Annapolis—and once to the very Capee! Let them tell us of a winter that began earlier or staid longer —of a winter in which the Very Inst night of February closed the navigation of the Patapsco and the Severn!--ofn regular built North East snow storm as late ns the 7th March, falling on a solid frosty foundation. In short, let them tell us when the miircury actually froze • in the thermometers; be. fore they brag again of their old fashioned winters. • NOT,L ZOMA TT NITZTEOPI XCATA ZI --P rei• nntl nee this ledle word; it is the original Mexical ror country curates. PatrioticAppeal.—Acorresviiletit of the Boston Courier gives the following re: port of a most eloquent and patriotic appeal, made to the Senate on the last night of its session, in relation to the Three Million Law, and which appeal was nobly respond ed to by the Se.iate. "I did not get up to the Capitol, in sea son to hear the main speeches. I art ived in season only to hear the conclusion of Mr. Webster:s reply, which was grand and soul stirring, and realized all the descriptions of the eloquence of the mighty musters of an tiquity. He rose to call upon the Senate, in consideration orate hour of the evening, and the magnitude of the bill, to canoe at once to the vote. You, must consider it us now drawing near midnight, and the close of this momentous session. All without is dark and silent—within the Senate Cham ber, fatigue, exhaustation, feverish excite ment prevail. Hear Mr. Webster, as near ly as can repeat his words--" Ye s, sir, this is a great question. Brought upon us sud denly; only within the last half hour; and pressed upon us under the assertion of im pending public danger, under the imposing popularity of a great military - and political leader, and summoning to its assistance the ebullitions an hasty and frothy patriotism, it is indeed a great question. It is the mo ment of the turn of the controversy between unlimited trust and discretion on the one side, and the security of the Constitution and the Law on the other. As such a pies. lion, I meet it, embrace it, and for myself, decide upon it. - Let us come to the vote. Let us know and show what, and who, we are. Inm in the American Senate. Let us see how this question shall be here de cided. lam in that body which, at this mo ment, is behind no assembly of men on earth, in the confidence and of of the true lovers of liberty. Sir, I have on this occa sion something of the feeling—would to God I had something of the talent—of the great Roman orator, when ho cried out in the midst of the Senate, on a matter involv ing the sillily and liberty of Rome, "Let every man's opinion be written on his fore head."-- "Sit denique zn fronts uniuscujus gee, quid de republica sentiat " "To the vote then, sir, to the vote, and let us see the roll of those, who are ready . to register their names in favor of this first direct attempt to bestow unlimited political and military power." EXCEEDINGLY IMPORTANT!—The ofllctal Journal at Washington announces the pre sentation of Ilfiss Along. Moy to Gen. Jack. son, or, according to JVIr. Livingston's no tions of diplomatic propriety, to the Presi dent of the Uni'ed States. This girl, (lady, we believe, is the language of the advertise. ments in the newspapers,) is exhibited to the public at four shillings a sight, children half price; but with a propriety peculiar to celestial ladies, she went -to tho President's house and showed herself to the old gentle. roan for nothing- There is something quite touching in this gratuitous exhibition of a young lady's charms. It is placing the matter upon the right footing. There is something so mercenary in being looked nt by a President--for pay! We are afraid, from the Globe's account of the matter,that Miss Moy was a little disappointed; for says the official, "The expectations of the lady had been raised to a high pitch as to the magnificence of the 'Yowl ' (Emperor.)— However, "His kind and courteous manner appeared amply to. compensate her for the deficiency of -outward .grandaur.” This shows that she is'a lady Of good understand. ing,though she basso little oust; and it shows too, that our "Ponti," (lier Chinese concep• inn of his attributes nre not very wide o the mark) is a courteous old gentleman, as he really is when he is'nt crossed in his in clinations. After aue courtesies had been interchanged the President advised her to. go home to China, and tell her country•wo- Yuen to leave ofl that abominable practice of pinching their pedals into such outrageous littleness of dimensions. This wo consider sensible advice, and from the groat influence of Gen. Jackson's name in "foreign parts," we look for great changes among the orien tal damsels. There is no knowing what the General's "strait-forward diplomacy" may do in converting these benighted heathens from the enormity: WO are sorry to see no mention of the "Emperor's" courtiers upon this august occasion. Afong ought by all means to have been introduced to the Kitch en Cabinet. Amos and Isaac should have done the honors of the Imperial larder, and served up a boiled bird's nest or two by way of chfuner a la fourchetle to her ladyship. Go see the F:mperor and not look at his mandarins! The thing is preposterous, and is really the most deplorable over-sight that has occurred under "my government."-- N. y. Cour. The late winter has been felt with severi ty in Louisiana. The St. Francisville Journ al says:— • "The injury done to the State, by the severity of the frost, is incalculable. The sugar cane, plants and rattraps, are nearly, if not entirely, destroyed—and it is ques tionable whether the culture of the cane will not be entirety abandoned. The orange, limo, and citron groves nre doubtless cut down. The fig trees,and till delicate shrub bery, we fear, are greatly injured, while our vegetable gardens are utterly laid waste— cattle are dying every where around Such ure the effects of this frightful winter."

STEVENS' SPE ndn.—We are daily importuned for the speech of Mr. STEVENS, and the debate on his resolution, on the :3d inst. Our friends at a distance, as appears frum their letters think that the fault lies with us. To show that we are clear, it is necessary for us to state the following fact. Mr. Stevens made numerous references and quotations from Masonic books, in sup port of the charges in his preamble, nod of the truth of the disclosures of Masonry. Im mediately after he had delivered his speech, a member of the House, who is n Mason, re quested the privilege oflookingat the hooks. it was granted, and he took them to his seat. After waiting some time for the books to be returned, Mr. Stevens asked the gentleman for them, when lo! he said they were lost! He did not know what had become ofthem! These honks are rarely to be round at any time and it is probable that they cannot be obtained by an Anti-Mason in the State.— This was known by the Masons, and they have thus "kidnapped" if not "murdered" them, to prevent the publication of Mr. Ste vens' unanswerable speech, and to suppress the light contained in them. We have waited some time for the brotherhood to re turn these books, hoping to be spared the necessity of exposing such conduct, but in vain. They are probably "Morganized" but we assure our renders that ns soon as the same kind of hooks cnn be procured from any part of the Union, the speeches will he forthcoming.-Har. Telegraph.

It is by a knowledge of these delightful and useful sciences, that the human race have got in possession of the greater portion of the blessings which they enjoy; there it is tho interest ofall per sons to avail themselves of every opportunity to acquire some knowledge of these sciences. With. out some knowledge of Geography, we would be in no better situation than the barbarous nations of the earth, who, for the want of this knowledge. are sunk into the most extreme ignorance sue misery. Astronomy gives tho most exalted ideas to the human Mind, by the visible creation the Creator himself is made known, even his eternal power and Godhead. Mineralogy and Geology discover to us the hidden treasures in the earth and on its surface, tir the general Übe, knowledge, and happiness of man. Astronomy points out to us the immensity and sublimity of the works of God in the !leavens above; Mineralogy and Geolo gy clearly show to us 'the great design, the wis dom, power and goodness of the Creatorrn the va rious parts of our Globe, which aro admirably contrived for the use and gratification of its in habitants. These two sciences also decide the important question respecting the creation ofkel world, and its various inhabitants. Mr. Coed is well furnished with Maps and an ATMOSPHERIC GLOBE, Four feet in diameter, a great curiosity, late ly invented in England, and believed to bo the first of the kind over exhibited in this country.— His ORRERY has the SEVEN PLANETS, and is revolved by a - STIVA kM IEA'N GIN E.

His experiments of Mag netism are highly pleasing and instructive. A great variety of Minerals will be shown, and the various uses explained. The Minerals have been collected from various partaot the world. A variety of rare curiosities, will also bo shown. Mr. goad has lectured to highly respectable and: antes in various parts of the country, with great success, as may be shown by their recommenda. tions.

Dear Sir, Your "Panacea" has accomplished a cure so remarkable, that I feel bound to certify it. My brother Lucas, about three years since, was ailictea with a severe attack of scrofula. II is head was completely covered with ulcers, so thick and close that they grew one over the other; and his face and body were covered also with numerous sores, he was under the roost judicial medical treat ment for nine months, without the least a• mendnient, growing worse'daily, and every variety of remedy was used, according to the regular practice of medicine. It was nt a timo when he was looked upon as incura ble, that I resolved to procure your "Pana cea" for him. The effect was quite won derful. Without any change of his custo mary diet, three bottles, and about one half of the fourth, restored him to perfect health. It is now two years since he was cured; he remains well, and is as hearty and robust as any boy of his age in this city. Yours, respectfully, %V. L. HIRST. Mr. WM.

The general excellence and high reputation oftho Pen ny Magazine, which is published under the pa. tronage of the British Society for the Diffusion of Useful KnOwledge, and of which 200,000 copies are sold in Great Britain, have induced the pub lishers of the People's Magazine to adopt this course, as that in which they can best promote the interest and moot the wishes . of their numer ous readers. The articles contained in that work aro not all equally adapted to the wants and the taste of the American reader; yet few of them can be rejected as undeserving attention even on this side of tho Atlantic. Few adieu) aro on subjects of mere local interest—politics are excluded—and discussions of doubtful and disputed questions ere rarely introduced. The pro 11l ill out subjects aro striking points of Natural History—accounts of the Great Works of Art in Sculpture and Paint ! ing—descriptions of such Antiquities as possess historical interest—personal Nan ntives of Tray ellers—Biogruphy of men who have had a perma nent influence on the condition of the world—es tablished Facts in Statistics and Political Econo. my—and "other subjects of a like general interest, accompanied with a groat number of Engravings,. to illustrate almost every variety of subjects. These subjects, however, are of course selec ted with reference to the condition and taste of the English reader- As a work to be presented to an American reader, as a general repository of information and entertainment, it tho most im portant and usefUl blanches of knowledge, it may be rendered more complete en many of the sub jects of the highest. interest, by the addition pro posed. acts and .events relating to this country —discoveries and IMProve monis of American ori gin, mid subjects arising out of our peculiar in stitutions and state of society, must necessarily be, in a groat measure, excluded from u magazine particularly adapted to the use of the people of Great Britain. These deficiencies it is the inten tion of the publishers to supply in „Ore People's Magazine, and . this department:of the work, con sisting chiefly of original articles, will be special ly designed us a companion to the Penny Mugs, zinc, with a view of adapting it more fully to the situation and wants of the American reader.
