Naratintspatas.—Every thing under Flea-
Ven increases in prise except NEWSPAPEns.
Beef and pork, flour and butter, sugar, tea
and coffee, salt, fish and onions, dry oods
and wet groceries, fuel and rent, buck wheat
and wash woman, are all advanced in price.
But newspapers, that most indispensable and
no getting-along without article—the sum
and substance of man's existence, remains
in state quo. kali yet there is no one thing,
not even eteamboats,that keep up with them
in the march of improvement. They are
constantly improving in size, appearance,
and talent—but as to price, the only im•
provement there is upon the cheaper sys
tem, and goes to benefit the reader. We
have seen a man charge two and a hairdo,-
lars for an article, the construction of which
probably occupied half a day, and at the
same moment grumble at a printer's charge
of two dollars for a year's papor,which when
bound up would make a volume of news, of
incident and of moral, interesting, and in
structive miscellany, that no book seller
would dispose of for less than twenty times
the amount.
"It Is said there are 400,000 feathers
upon the wing of a silk worm moth, and that
any one doubting the truth of the statement,
can easily satisfy himself by counting
them!"
The curious we guess, had as well say
is so and cry quits, without counting.

EDITED. BY
Jas. Cooper & Wrn. M. Reynolds.
Tax Poser, 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—an 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.
In ono of these ways, we may rest assured, it
will be employed; for never can it be fettered or
silenced, and thus will the world continue to read
and be ruled by its reasonings. In the present
state of society, books, periodicals, magazines and
newspapers may be reckoned among the necessaries
of life, for wlriph the appetite and demand are be
coming alike universal. Is it not,then incalculably
important that a proper direction be given to this
feeling, so that it may be productive of all the bene
fits which it promises! •
We have long believed that the weekly news
paper might assume a character somewhat different
from that which it has usually had—that it might
be made to come mom home to the bosoms and
business of men—that its interest might be 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. THE Isis
will endeavor to keep constantly in view and stead
fastly advocate the objects to which it is professedly
devoted. Regarding rarttre 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 em 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 and 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 ono 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
affairs.
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
emanational *advocate of Universal Liberty.
Edited and Published by Benjamin Lundy.
'j 'HIS work has recently been establish
' ed with the view of adyocating the
cause of Universal Emancipation. The Ed:
itor, having devoted more than ,eighteen
years of his life to this important •lubject,
and having, nearly the whole of this period,
superintended the editorial departmOt of
another publication of sun& r charuetee and
views, conceives it to be unnecessary,atrt
sent, to give an exposition of his particm..
sentiments in relation to it. Yet it may ,ist
be improper to state explicitly,that the prin
cipal aim . and leading object of the work
will be THE IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL ABOLI
TION OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA, by the most
efficient moral, judic:oue and Constitutional
means.
The time was—and well indeed is it re
membered—when but a solitary voice (ex
cept its own occasional echo) was heard
throughout the land, in favor ofa restora
tion of the "inalienable rights," and redress
for the innumerable wrongs, of the Ameri
can bondman. ft was a dreary night of
I hopeless, soul-depressing toil arid care! But
within the period above mentioned, a mark.
ed and visible change has been effected; a
wonderful impetus has been given to the pro.
grebe 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, in orderito
'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 the
demon of oppression, ere the vengeful arm
of Justice 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 here expressed,
the editor of this work has assumed the sta
tion which be now occupies. lie long skim-,
entered with alacrity this great arena of
moral warfare,and yields to nene,te•the dis
position to sustain the principles which he
has for many years reduced,practic.e.
"In (Slave ry's] field advancing his firm foot,
Ile plan ts it on the line that Justice draws,
And will prevail or perish in her cause."
The cooperation 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 entertaining,while the appropriate mot
to will be ever recollected—" Fiat Justitia
Runt Calum."
