TOE Proprietor of the Lady's Book, grateful for
the unceasing patronage which he has received, an ,
flounces to the Ladies who have so generously sus
tained their own "Book," that lie has made new ar
rangements for their gratification. Convinced that
be could not in any way more effectually promote the
interests, or realize the wishes of his numerous sub
scribers, he has secured the valuable aid of
IVIRS..SARA , II JANE HA LF.,
of Boston, to whose, superinteudance the literary de
partments of the Lady Book will hereafter be com
mitted ` For many years Mrs. Hale* has conducted
• the American Ladies Magizinc—a periodical of on;
common merit, which will be merged in the Lady's
-- Book. Her abilities are familiar to hercountrywomea,
and on both :sides of the Atlantic she enjoys a high
reputation as: one of the most graceful, vigorous, and
accomplished of our female writers.
Under the judicious management of Mrs. Hale, the
Lady's. (look will not only maintain the excellent
character it has already acquired, but it Is confidently
expected that it will be rendered inure eminently
worthy of the support of those to whose interests and
amusement it has been, and will combine tube devo
ted. The superior talents and line taste of the Edi
tor will give the work anew impulse; while her own
contributions, and those received from her personal
friends, and other correspondents, of whom a number
have al ' ready promised,.tvill render it almost entirely
original. Amongst others who are expected to fur
nish

to use every means to maintaln the superiority which
his publication has obtained. For years he has gone
steadily on in the course of improvement, and lie
flatters himself that his facilities are such as to give
his work eminent advantages over his competitors.
His very: ample subscription list enables hie to be
liberal in his expenditures upon it, and whatever can
be accomplished by euterprize and cost he is resolved
to 'effect. Besides the persons above mentioned as
contributors,he has expectations of receiving original
articles from several distinguished female writers in
Europe: and:as an inducement to writers of our own
country,he is willing to pay for every article adopted.
by him as suitable to his publicationits high a rate of
remuneration nil will lid given by the proprietors of
any other periodical iu the United States.
The mechanical portion •of the Lady's Book will .
likewise be implored. The typography will be more

the paper of a better quality. During:the
year portraits, engraved on steel, of several soniuent
ladies will be given: and every second month a co-
Joined plate, illustrating the prevailing fashion, will
he furnished. Other embellishments,caleulated to en
hance the appearande and increase the value of the
work,will be introduced; and generally, every thing
will be done that the most untiring purpose of leaking,
the Lady's Book pre-eminently entitled to patronage
can suggest. With the experience: le has acquired
during a long course of years devoted to the business,
and the aid to be derived Irons disting uished lady
who will henceforth be associated with lurn,the Pub
lisher is confident that he wilt tie able to render the
amplest satisfaction to all who may become his pa

MARSHALL COLLEGE.
ITT is with pleasure the undersigned announces
to the public that Mar-shell College, chartered
by the,lngislature of this State during its session
lust winter, and located at Morcersburg, Frank
lin county, Pa , is to open its
. first Session on
WedneSdaY the 9th of' November next. The op
erations of this Institution commence under very
flattering prospects. The number' of Students,
who are waiting to enter it, is much larger than
its must sanguine fiirnds could have anticipated.
And the Trustees feel themselves happy in hav
ing secured the services of gentlemen, as Profes
sors, combining u high degree both of talent and
attainment. Entire eolith once may therefore bo
reposed in the competency of the Instructors,
who have been appointed to their respective de
partments in the Institution. And it is the de
sign of the Trustees to increase the number of
Professors as the wants of the Institution may
require, and as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can ho made. The gentlemen who corn.
pose the Faculty of the College at present are,
Rev. F. A. RAUCH, D. P. President and Profes
sor of tho Hebrew, Greek, and Gomun lan
guages, arid Literature, and the Evidences
of Christianity.
S..W. BUDD, Jr. ' M. A. Professor of Mollie-
Matics and Natural Philosophy.
Rcv. J. I'. BERG, A. M. Professor of the Latin
and Greek languages and Bolles Letters.
Intellectual and Moral Philosophy will be
taught by ono of the Faculty, until a Professor
for this department can be obtained.
One of the Faculty will also teach the French
language.
Rev. WM. A. Goon has been chosen by the
Faculty as Rector of the Preparatory School,
connected with the College, and under the imme
diate inspection and assistance of the Faculty.
and in which ovary branch of Science and Liter.
uturo is taught necessary for the admission of
students into the College, or for those pursuits
and occupations for which their parents or guar
dians may design them.
The annual oxponso attach student, for tuition
in the College, will be OP, and in the Prepara
tory School, $26. Boarding can be had at the
house of the Rector, who is propnred to accom
modate about 16 boarders.
Parents and Guardians may feel confident that
a vigilant attention will bo bestowed to the mor
als, habits and manners of the Students while
connected with tho College.
Tlio location of Marshall College is peculiarly
favorable for such an Institution. The town of
Mercersburg is in general remarkably healthy.
It stands in tho great Cumberland Valley, and
is .surrounded by a fertile and well cultivated
country, with a range of lofty mountains at sumo
miles distance on eitheir side, mountain and yule
preventing a scenery at ono striking and beau
tiful.
Under the impression that the Trustees et this
infant Institution can, in good faith invite public
attention to it as a seat of sound and thorough
Literature, Marshall Collage is most cordially
recommended to the American community, and
especially to the German part adult community
for whose benefit it is especially founded, us justly
meriting in the opinion of its founders, public I
confidence, and a cordial general patronage.
All Editors, favorable to the great cause of
Education, by giving this notice ono or two in
sertions in their respective papers, will be entitled
to the sincere thanks of the friends and patrons
of our rising lustitution

THE
.1 'Miscellany of .Morals, Literature, Science
and the arts.
-EDITED BY
Jas. Cooper be Wm. M. Reynolds.
Tut: 'loess, beyond a doubt, is the grand lever
which now moves the intellectual world. Among
civilized nations, public opinion bows so submis
sively to no other power; even despots reverence
its voice, and demagogues tremble at its frown.
Of course, it may be an ,instrument either of
good or of evil—au Ithuriel's spear of truth, or a
sorcerer's delusive wand. The obstinate defender
of exploded doctrines and the wild propagandist Of
the latest theory alike make this their weapon of •
attack and defence; and by its means may the
friend of truth most successfully refute error and
disseminate the pure principles of right reason. I
In one of these ways, we may rest assured, it
will be employed;•for never can it be fettered or I
silenced, and thus will the world continue to read I
and be ruled 'by its reasonings. In the present
state of society, books, periodicals, magazines and
newspapers inay be reckoned among the necessaries
of life, for which the appetite and demand are be
coming alike universal. Is it not,thint incalculably
important that a proper direction be given to this
feeling, so that it may be productive of all the bene
fits which it - promiseSl - -
We have long believed that the weekly news
paper might assume a character somewhat different
from that which it has usually bad—that it might
be made to come more home to the bosoms and
business of men—that its interest might he deep
ened—its moral tone elevated—its usefulness ex
tended far beyond its present limits.
Desirous of contributing somewhat to the fur
therance of such an object, we propose publishing
a weekly journal under the above title. Tut: hats
will endeavor to keep constantly in view and stead
lastly advocate the objects to which it is professedly
devoted. Regarding virtue as the surest source of
individual happiness and national prosperity, we
shall endeavor to illustrate its principles and en
force its precepts. Laboring for "the many," we
shall offer to the people the Key of knowledge,
that they may thus keep in their own hands that
power which will otherwise ere long glide from
them into the hands of "a few." Looking at all
useful labor as not only the true foundation of
wealth, but also honorable—discoveries and im
provements in the arts: agriculture aid kindred
subjects, will claim a due share of our attention.
Whilst we aim at combining - "the useful with
the agreeable," we hope to avoid the danger of
dulness, on the one hand, and that of pandering to
the corrupt taste, on the other.
Studiously abstaining from party politics, we
shall think it our duty to discuss important points
of policy. We shall also attempt to give an im
partial account of domestic as well as of foreign
afikirs.
With this brief exposition of their views and
plans, the Editors throw themselves upon the in
dulgence of a discriminating public, pledging
themselves, if they meet with encouragement, to
render the work worthy of patronage.

NATIONAL ENQUIRER
AND
Constitutional advocate of Universal Liberty.
Edited and Published by Benjamin Lundy
THIS work has recently been establish
ed with the view of advocating the
cause of Universal Emancipation. The Ed
itor, having devoted more than eighteen
years of his life to this important subject,
and having, nearly the whole of this period,
superintended the editorial department of
another publication of similar character and
views, conceives it to he unnecessary,at pre
sent, to give an exposition of his particular
sentiments in relation to it. Yet it may not
be improper to state explicitly,that the prin
cipal aim and leading object of the work
will be TUE I3I3IEDIATE AND TOTAL ABOLI
TION OF SLAVERY IN ABIEEICA, by the most
efficient moral, judic;ous and Constitutional
111COns.
'Tl►e time was—and well indeed is it re
menzbercd—when but a solitary voice (ex:
cept its own occasional echo) was heard
throughout the land, in favor of a restora
tion of the "inalienable rights," and redress
for the innumerable wrongs, of the Ameri
can bondman. ft was a dreary night of
hopeless, soul-depressing toil and carol But
within the period above mentioned, a mark
ed and visible change has been eflbcted; a
wonderful impetus has been given to the pro
gress of the holy cause; and the brightest
cheering• rays of hope and confidence in sue
cess,are beaming around us. It is true that
much yet remains to be done, ►n orderlito
guard against and ward off the awful, im
pending calamity,which has long threatened
the peace and safety of our country. A
severe contest is yet to be waged with tho
demon of oppression, ore the vengeful arm
ofJustice shall be stayed, and the power of
moral truth established, and the renovation
of our social system effected. We must,
therefore," buckle on the armor of righteous
persevering energy—renew our zeal and
activity in the vineyard of labor--plead with
more earnestness the cause of the suffering
and the enslaved—engage with more fervor
in supplication, at the Throne of Almighty
Power, for the successful termination of our
arduous, yet glorious undertaking.
Wit such views as are hero expressed,
editor of this work has assumed the sta-
lion which he now occupies. lie long since
entered with alacrity this groat arena of
moral warfare,and yields to none,m the die
position to sustajn the principles which he
has for ninny years reduced ,practice.
[Slavery's] field advancing his firm foot,
lie plants it on the line that Justice draws,
And will prevail or perish in her cause."
The co•operation of all who are friendly
to the object of the work is desired,and their
patronage is generally solicited, Every ex
ertion will be made to render it instructive
and entertnining,while the appropriate mot
to will be ever recollected —" Fiat Justitia
