THE
CARRIER'S ADDRESS
TO THE PATRONS OF THE
Star & Republican Banner.
JANUARY Ist, 1841.
Well, Patrons this is New-Year's day
And I've a word or two to say
About the past and present year,
To which, I pray you, lend an ear. s
But first permit an humble boy
To wish you happiness and joy,
And hint that Carriers like me
On new.year's day expect a vim,
Which real gentlemen. they say,
Like you, are never slow to pay.
Then while in splendid halls you taste
The luxuries of the new•year feast;
While rapture every thought controls,
And smiles of love illume your souls,
I shall be happy too, I think,
With pocket lined with silver chink.
Patrons, there are many more
Amongst the fatherless and poor
Who might be sav'd from crushing care
By trifles which you well might spare.
I know there's misery enough,
And money now . is precious stuff,
The times are hard and rough I know
For rich and poor. for high and low, -
And so I fear they will remain,
As long as Loco-Focos reign.
But that, I trust, will not be long,
Fur you have prov'd your party strong.
Though fickle Fortune's rolling stone,
The last election turn'd us down,
We're more than able, it is plain, -
The sunny summit to regain.
Then join together heart and soul,
And give the wheel a sturdy roll;
Down 400. tits) Porter party's pride.
And 'Whiggery' gains the upper side.
I know you'll make times better then, .
By filling offices with men
Who do not merely live for self,
And servo their country for her pelf.
Our Harrison was such an One--: •
He sought his country's good alone--;
He never shute.d for her to toil,
Or with his sweat drops dress hor soil,
Or give the blood that warm'd his breast
To buy her honor wealth, or rest,
Or shield her humblest child from ill;
And life's lust care was for her still.
He died 1 Alas, that solemn word!
Of all mankind the sad record;
Our hearts, our hopes, our joy, our pride,
Droop'd like green willows when he died.
Patrons! there are in this our lend
Those who are striving hpart and hand,
To break the tree , of Liberty, .
Beneath whose shade all men are free,
And rear a standard of their own
And place those demons on the throne,
wh., t o feed fat afew proud knaves
Would make all honest freemen staves;
Ye see the danger, lo! 'tie nigh
Rise and oppose it manfully.
Lest fall your party was to blame,
Even your-Carrier writhed with shame,
To see how tamely Whigs could stay
From Freedom's ballot-box away,
While their opponents won the daT.
Tell not in Gath of that defeat,
Nor publish in Ascalon's street
How fallen are the mighty band
Who one year previous sway'd the land.
- Walking the street the other day,
I heard a knot of Lodes say—
" These Whigs aro of elastic stuff,
Yet still wo should do well enough
If any human power could bind
Or palsy Sravrea's giant mind;
With eagle eye and ready hands
There in the halls of State he stands,
No treason can escaperhis eye,
No dastard pass unpaniehed by;
Be teads the workings Ofour souls,

Disguise our meanings as we will, .
He smirches our intentions still,
And has no mare respect for us
With all pride, and pomp. and fuel,

We are oblig'd Co own him great,

The lucky death of Harrison;
The 'recent victory we have won,

Unbending as the Jew who sate '
In old Ahasuerus' gate.
Bat there's one comfort, we can lie
And spit at him foul infamy,
And he secure from penal ill,

And then they shouted in their glee
For Porter. and for Wilsey.

And good success, and heaps of wealth,
As much aiyou Shall need td use,

From the National Intelligencer
THE ANNUAL TREASURY REPORT
Was, as we expected sent to both Houses
of ogress yesterday. It passed so rap
idly, from the hands of the primers to Con
gress, that we had only time to cast a tran
sient glance over it, with a view to its
prominent points.
The irate of the Treasury is of course
the dame as it was represented to be in the
President's Message to Congress; that is
to say, there will be an estimated dehcien
cy in the Treasury on the Ist of January
next, requiring immediate provision to
me e t it, .18626,559; which deficiency is
evened by the failure to obtain the necessa
ry amount of the Twelve Million Loan, in
consequence of the shortness of the time it
had to run. Mr. Secretary Ewing, the
reader may recollect, when he asked for
/the Loan to reiieve the. Treasury from in.
cumbrances left by the late admiaistra•
lion, recommended that it should be au
thorised for a terns of eight years; but, in
passing the Loan bill, Congress limited
the loan to three years, too short a term to
invite the investments of funds in it by
capitalists. This deficiency the Secretary
recommends shall be provided for by im
mediate authority being granted to issue
Treasury Notes to this required amount.
For the next year, (1842) the receipts
into the Treasury (excluding the proceeds
of sales of Public Lands) aro estimated at
819,200,000. From which is to be de
ducted $626,559,• the estimated deficiency
at the end of the present year: The Ex
penditures for the year, including the
amount necessary to redeem seven millions
of outstanding Treasury Notes, are esti
mated at 832,791,010—leaving to be pro•
vided for on account of the expenditures of
1842, the estimated sum of 814,218,570.
'To meet this 'deficiency in revenue for
1842, the Secretary recommends to Con
gress to authorize an extension of the term
of the pectic)? not taken of the Twelve
millions of dollars; the balance of the de
ficit in the ways and means, together with
the two millions of dollars, (a surplus deem
ed necessary to be, in the Treasury to meet
emergencies in the public service,) to be
supplied from inposts 'upon such foreign
article', imported into the United States,
das may be selected with due regard to a
rigid restriction, in amount, to the actual
wants of the Government, and a proper
economy in its administration."
This is the outline of the Budget, as it
is very plainly and clearly stated in the
Secretary's Report. The Report then
goes into an argument upon the principles
which ought to govern the adjustment of the
Tariff to the Government; of which,
as our readers will soon have it before
theni entire, we shall nut attempt an abbre
viation.
HOME LEAGOE.—The intelligent edi
tors of the York, Pa. Republican, in their
paper of the Bth inst., thus respond to the
appeals which have been made to the
friends of American industryand produc-
tion in favor of the Home Lague.---Ban.
Am.
The protection of Home Industry.—W e
have devoted a good deal of our space to
day to the publication of articles having a
bearing, more or less direct, on the great
subject of the 'Protection of Domestic In
dustry. We have been indebted for them
chiefly, as usual, to that able and, intelli
gent advocate of the true interests of this
country, the Baltimore American, from
which we have ,adapted to this meridian,
the article headed "The Home League,"
which was written with an immediate view
to the position of Maryland, but in its
arguments and exhortations is admirably
adapted to the condition of Pennsylvania.
It being admitted on all hands that the
Tariff must come before Congress for ad
justment at the present session, in cense •
quence of the term during which the Com
promise Act was to run having expired, it
becomes all who are concerned in this great
matter to Make themselves heard at the
Capitol in no uncertain tones. To me
chanics, the emergency is most pressing.
Already do our dandies, in their contempti
ble aping offoreign fashions and ridiculous
tendons' for Wearing foreign goods and
manufactures, begin to send orders abroad
to European shoemakers and tailors for
artiCles.ordress, and when the last reiluc
tion on our current rates of duties on tm
ported articles shall be made in July next;
and every thing is brought down to the
unvarying standard of 20 per cent. ad
valorem,. our Mechanics of every kind will
find themselves undersold at their own
homes by aliens. This result-in inevitable
from the fact that the difference bet Ween
the price of labor in Europe and the Uni
ted States is quite 9Ufficient to counterbal
ance all the operations' of such a duty in
our favor. Look at the operatives in Eng
land, Frence and Germany—their misera
ble wages, inadequate subsistence and so
mal degradation, and you cannot avoid
thinking that we must' either be reduced
to their owe condition, or be supplanted by
the fabrici which they make' unless our
Tariff be raised: Considerations such as
these ought to open tlie• . eyes of all our
productive classes;--oUr Farmers, Me
chanics, and Laborers especially, to the
deep interest which they have• in this ques
tion; and we hope that an effort will be im•
tpridiatilly made to organize'n branch of
the Home League in York, and make the
voice of our pectianics hard in Congress.

'FIIE RECENT EARTHQUAKE IN. CEN-

Heredia.—The earthgaake was so sudden
that those persons who escaped, had hard
ly time to get out of - their houses before
the falling of the walls.
In a second, the Department of Cartago
has became a total ruin. The destruction
is so great, that the site of any particular
edifice is hardly to be distinguished among
the ruins. In the city, the houses even to
the atone work, wore thrown upwards by
the shock, and fell down again in heaps of
rubbi'h.
It is painful to dwell upon this event.—
The loss of life is very great among all else.

bodies. They are now hard at work and
will continue digging while necessary.—
People perished in the streets, in the plazas,
and in the churches. All our provisions
are beneath the ruins, and we are suffering
a horrible state of want, which is likely
to continue, for the fences having been
thrown down, the cattle sre destroying all
they can reach.

Alajnella, the ruin is considerable. In San

are unhabitable. We are hardly better
off in this city; and Alajuela has fared
worse than we have. Tranquilino Bonilla
and his family, are among those taken from
the ruins. They are alive, but bruised and
crippled. The number of sufferers is very
great. Bodies are disinterred that can•
not be recognized—shapeless masses and
headless trunks; every thing in horrible
confusion. Up to the present morbent,
there has been no eruption from the neigh.
boring volcano; the shocks continue with.
out cessation—and no one can tell how it
Kull end.
The great shock took place at six o'clock
on the morning of the second of September.
&INCHING ACCIDENT..--The Hagers•
town Democrat says that on Friday or
Saturday last, a young lady, Miss Law ,
rence, was thrown from an affrighted horse,
near Waynesboro' and killed. Her leg,
which became entangled in the stirrup
while the horse was running, was literally
torn from her body. So infuriated was
the horse, that it became necessary to
shoot him before he could be caught.
Ott- We see the above paragraph just
started on ..the rounds." We have no
doubt it is a mistake, originating In a re
rnisiilence of an occurrence that did take
place some time since. At a camp meet
ing held in September last, somewhere in
Washington county, near the Virginia
border, a small company of persons arrived
on horseback. Among them was a young
lady riding a fine, spirited animal, -who, on
arriving at the stopping place,let go the
reins, or so slackened them that the horse
threw down his head, and at the same in
start that he raised it again, the lady, either
with one or both hands, threw her veil
over her head, at winch the horse took
fright and darted off through the woods,
the unfortunate rider falling backwards,
her foot fast in the stirrup. She was, of
course, dragged upon the ground and dash-
ed against opposing obstacles till speedily
relieved from her agony by death. ' Her
body was torn to pieces and found in differ
out places over a course of seventeen
miles, the distance which the frantic horse
was followed before he could be approached
and at last had 'to be shot in a barnyard!
We bad this tragic incident related to us
shortly alter its occurrence, from a source
that entitled it to credence, and it was a
matter ofsome surprise that a circumstance
so affecting and eloquent in its lesson of
warning, was not, noticed in the Hagers
town papers at the time.--Cilausb. Whig.
A MOVEMENT IN WASHINGTON, PA.-
A somewhat singular movement recently
took place in the borough of Washington,
Pa- A public meeting was held, at which
John Wilson, Esq. presided, and a. Com
mittee appointed for the purpose, reported
the following resolutions:
Whereas, a few of our merchants have
thought proper to import and sell such ar
ticles as are manufathred.in abundance by
the mechanics of our town:—thereby inju
ring not only the - mechrfilic but the Whole
community by sending away money which
should be-kept intirculatron among Us, and
depriving a large number of our industri•
ous citizens of the means of making a .liv ,
ing. Therefore, '
Resolved, That we look upon the jar:
portation and . sale of such articles 'as are
manufactured in this place as a departure
from the proper sphere of the Meohant,
'and subversive of the interests of a huge,
portion of our citizens, and which if persie•
ted in, must eventually undermine and
driive away a portion of our population.
Resolved, That we will not only decline
making purchases ourselves, but, so far as
our influence extends, will discourage all
persons from patronizing those who persist
in pursuing a line of business so disastrous
to our interests.
The first resolution was adopted without
difficulty; but the second was opposed by
the Hon. - Isaac Leet and several others,
when the meeting was adjourned until the
ensuing Saturday. The matter was then
further discussed, when the resolution was
adopted by a large majority, and the mer
chanti present pledged themselves not to
send abroad for such artieles as , could be
purchased in the place.—Lan. Union.

T i ng U. S. BANE PRESEIOTMENT QUASH.
so.—As was generally expected,- he Court
of Criminal Sessions yesterday quashed
the proceedings by the Grand Jury against
the persons connected with the United
States Bank. Judges Barton and Conrad
each delivered opiuiona agreeing in the
view that the presentmen was irregular, il
legal, and unconstitutional. That it was
illegal, Inasmuch as they bad no right
. to
summon, swear, and examine witnesses
where no primary hearingof the defendants
has been heard.
By common law a Grand Jury has no
right to administer oaths, and by statute
law they have only the right to administer
oaths to such witnesses as are sent up to
them by the prosecuting-officer, and en•
dorsed upon the bill; and that it was un•
constitutional as the persons presented
were first used as witnessed—and then,
'Ton the, information obtained from them•
selves, having the right which is constitu
tionally granted to every individual to be
heard by counsel in hie own defence.
Judge Doran also favored the quashing;
he considered the irregularity of the pro.
ceedings of the Grand Jury consisted in
summoning and not in swearing . the wit.

be immediately published. The matter, it
is understood, will be brought before the
next Grand Jury. •
At the sale of wines yesterday, by the
Messrs. Pell, Coles Madeira brought $9,•
05 cents per bottle ! On the same day,
Indiana State stock sold as low as 819,
and Harlaem Railroad as low as $lO a
share. It would take but a few bottles of
wine, at this rate, to buy up some reify
large concerns. One bottle would buy 2i
shares, United States Bank Bieck, being at
the rate of 14,000 botleb Tor the whole
$35,000,000.—.N. Y. Corn. Ado.
BRUTAL MIIRDER.—Twice the annals of
Chenango have been stained by the crime
of murder. On the night of the 15th inst.
David Maynard, residing in Columbus,
brutally took the life of his wife, under the
influence of liquor, by whipping her to
death. From the testimony before 'the
inquest, it appears that he returned home
during the evening and found his wife in
toxicated. Addressing a question to her
and receiving no answer, ho sent his eldest
son, a boy about ten years of age, after a
whip, with which he beat her for about
30 minutes. Then he bound her to the
bed - and retired himself, shortly after fal
ling asleep. On waking up, he found her
a corpse. He then sent two of his children
to a neighbor's house, requesting his pros•
once. This gentleman, in company with
another, proceeded to his house, where a
bloody scene presented itself. She was
literally mauled to a pumice. There were
many blows on her person, which, had they
been given singly, would have caused her
death. On beingquestioned, he confessed
the deed, was arrested, examined and corn.

six children) testifying to the murder of
his mother by the hand of his father-

habits. Ho has frequently abused his fami

Here is another instance of crime from
intemperance. What a warning to the

One of the most extraordinary works of

even the paintings are copied, which adorn
the superb edifice. This model occupied
twenty years in executing.

A DREADFUL AND EXTfLAOEDINARE Ac.
VXDENT.-A private letter, says the New
Orleime Crescent, details an accident at
the town of Jackson, Louisiana, which ap
pals one's very soul. It is one of the most
curious as well as the most heart-rending
we have ever heard of. A dray loaded
with several kegs of powder was being
discharged, when, by the carelessness
(some say drunkeness) of the dray man, one
of them was suffered to fall. A scissor
grinder was near, busy in his avocation,
and his rapid wheel emitting a shower of
sparks. These fell upon the spilled pow.
der, 'blew up the man, scissor grinder,
lioree and dray, and killed four negroes
belonging to Mi. Seth Parker. The
shock was felt all over the town, and many
windows were broken. . One leg of the
drayman and his hat were found several
hundred yards off. The mangled remains
of the scissor grinder were collected and
decently buried. His wheel, it appears,
had been sent about sixty yards, and lodg
ed on the balcony - of a neighboring house.
When will people learn to be careful with
powder?
THE CONSTITUTIONAL Anmy.—The
boys and girls in common schOols—the
true Mending army.—These soldiers are in
citadels which rise up around ua the noblest
bulwarks -against ' ignorance, that . worst
enemy of human race. Whoever builds a
school hoifse, or teaches a good Reboot, is
erecting the strongevt monument to free
dom. If the time sh all ever come, when
this great government shall totter, when
this Beacon, now the wonder of the world,
shall wax dim, the cause will be found in
the ignorance of the people, "tied the
people perish for the lack of knowledge."

EMIGRATION FROM. GREAT BRITAIN.-
A public' meeting was held in London on
the 30th of November, called by the Lord
Mayor, for the purpose of considering tho
important subject of emignition as the
great means of relief for the hundreds of
thousands ofunemployed persons in vari
ous parts of the kingdom, and at the same
time, as a means of relief for the distress
existing in almost every one of the British
colonies fur the want of labor. It was se id
by the chairman, that every year fifty
thousand of their subjects were expatria
ting themselves to the United States, and
it was the duty of the government to give
a tendency to the tide of emigration to
their own colonies.

Poivr OFFICE RZIGULATIONIL — The AA
/Want Postmaster • General addresses,
officially. the various Postmasters through
out the United States, upon the necessity
.of checking the repeated attempts made to
defraud the revenue by writing oo the
wrapper or margin 9f newspapers and
pamphlets sent by mail; enclosing memo
randa or other things within them; under
scoring, dotting, or pricking letters. or
words, and by various other devices, with
the view to evade the payment of legal post
age. The Postmasters are directed to re
move the wrappers of allmansient papers
and pamphlets—when they have reached
their destination, and all used as the ye
hicles of information in the way alluded to,
are to be charged with letter postage, or,
if refused or not taken out, sent back to
the-office where they were first mailed and
the penalty of 85 collected against the per
son who committed the offence. They
are also called upon to correct the abuse of!
the franking privilege. They are also
instructed concerning the transmission of
money to the publishers of newspapers or
acting as their agents. Much misun
derstanding appears to exist on this sub•
ject, which it is desirable should be cor
rected, 411 that may lawfully be done
is contained in the following: and if this
is not , strictly observed, the Postmaster
General will be compelled to withdraw the
instruction entirely. "A postmaster may
inclose money in a letter to the publisher
of a newspaper, to pay the subscription of n
tithd person '
and frank the letter, if writ
tenor signed by himself; but if the letter
be signed by another person the postmaster
cannot frank it. But'this is a service not
required of him, and he mny perform it as
a matter of courtesy, or decline it, at his
option. Such letters should contain only,
and relate solely to the transmission of,
money from individual subscribers to pub.
fishers of newspapers, and not the collec
tionoi of agents or others; and they should
not cover correspondence on any other
subject whatever; and it is not proper for
•a postmaster to become the agent or news
paper publishers or others, and use his
frank in the transaction of such: business."
CONFESSIONS OF A COUNTERFEITER.—
The last number of the Upper Mississippi.
an, printed at Rock Inland, Illinois, con
tains a long article which purports to be
the Confession of Samuel S. Cluse, a
counterfeiter, recently sentenced to the
Alton Penitentiary for four years. He
seems to have figured very largely as a bo
gus maker and counterfeiter of bank notes,
and estimates the number of persons en
gaged in the business at about three hun
dred—scattered over Missouri, particularly
in the Platte country, Illinois, lowa,. Indi
ana and Michigan. He ghee many par
ticulara of his operations—names persons
aid places in all of the States—and, if
true, unfolds a mass of depravity in persons
who, for aught we know, are respected
as good citizens. As, however, we see
no good reason for this confession, and it is
not the habit ofthese men to make them,
we very much doubt the authenticity of
the details, and shell not copy them, unless
satisfied of the truth of the charges.—St.
Lou. New Era.
POSTAGE. — The country press, particu
larly, are favoring the proprosition for ad
justing the postage upon newspapers. At
present one newspaper is carried for 2000
miles for only 11 a cent more than is charg
ed to carry another 5 miles. while the for
mer may be quadruple the size of the let
ter. la this fair? The proposition to al
low newspapers to circulate free of postage
in their own county, strikes us as judicious.
Another reform would be the reduction of
letter postage one half. Letter postage is
onerous, and suet , a reduction would in
crease the revenue of the department by
trebling the number of letters. Few doubt
this; then why is it that Congress does not
act upon the proposition? We commend
the subject to the attention of members
from this district.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS op 1841.—The
Secretary of the Treasury laid before
the Senate on Monday last, a statement
exhibiting the value of thu imports and ex
ports during the year ending the 30th Sep
tember last, which aro as follows, viz.
IMPORTS.
Value of merchandise free of duty, $64,785,549
Value of do. paying duty, 59,381,934
EXPORTS.
Foreign merchandise, viz:
Value of merchandise free of duty, $10,798,451
Value of do. paying duty; 4,303,175
15,101,626
Value of domeitic produce, - 106,059,985
Note.—The value of imports and exports
for the quarter, ending 30th . September,
is partly on estimate.
TITS 18IAL OF JUSTICE WILEY..---
This trial is VOW in progress in New York,
end appears to excite considerable interest.
The accused, William Wiley, Egg, is
charged with having received stolen prop
erty, • upwards 01.8180,000 in bank
bills, gold and betide, charged to have been
stolen early in June last, from the Fred.
erick County Bank of Maryland, and by
him received of the thieves as their coun
sel..and paid over to the Officers of the
Bank, atter receiving 8 per cent. on the
amount of money paid over, , viz: $122,
616, the iiin,sant of commissions thus re
ceived. 'Kling $9,809 52 cents,
The evidence is very volumnious, and
little of importance has yet been
given in.
A GOOD Starr —We saw a young Me
.m
chae, who had just married an amiable
young girl, pass home the other day , with
the head of a spinning :cher! iu his hand.
t. Depend upon it, that young man has got an
axe° lent wife, who will increase rather
than diminish , his capital.

FOR PRESIDENT
.1N,1844,
GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT,
••• . -
Subject to the decision - of a Natianal Convention
cry Our llsvit Wishes as- to tender his heart•
felt, as well as pocket-felt acknowledgments to
his numerous friends, for their liberal and sub•
alantial tokens of regard for his services during
the past year; and says, he hopes that each, and
every ono of them may live a thousand years,
and that their shadows may never be less.—
What a grateful fellow'
a• The old year has passed away and is num.
bared with ~ t he things that were." A new (and
may it bo a bettor) yearis usheretlin with all the
ton thousand errors of the past hanging around it,
like a lowering cloud, from which in the ago of
seers and oracles, many au ill favored omen
would spring to darken the future. Forget not
the past; let it be the schoolmaster. Look well
to the future, and the lesson of. experience will
have been profitable. •
Calamities have befallen- us in the twelvemonth
that has fled; the political world hes been rocked
as Fith a tempest; the scourge lias boon upon us,
and the great have fallen victims! America's
pride„her chosen son, has been numbered with
the lowly dead—and his spat boon filled by the
unworthy and faithless. In politics, the bygone
year will not noon be forgotten. The moral
world has been the scone of activity, and the en
counter with her enemies has been succeosful.—
Every enterprise in which a moral reformation
has been aimed et has been nobly sustained—
none more amazingly than the Temperance ef•
fort. She distanced her most sanguine expecta
tions, and they who hove stood foremost in the
work look back with grateful astenishment at
what has been accomplished, exclaiming as did
Cessar,nwe have met the enemy and they are
ours."
But while thriftiness and prosperity have bore
and there gladdened the few, the many aro low
ered down with adversity. The country is in
trouble. The wherewithal of life—the need
ful—the currency, is worse than tattered and
ragged—it is worthless; and no two can agree
upon a better. May the combiniid wisdom of the
State start with the year in making some noble,
humane and available efforts to rouse the needy
from their despondency—to supply us with a safe
and sound currency; and relieve us from th*
hourly embarrammeata into which we are thrown.
Doubtless much that is important will trans
pire during the coming twelvemonth. The State
—the nation, will be casting about for men and
principles, to govern them. Our banner is rale
ed, and upon its folds is inscribed—the "Hero of
Chippewa" for the nation's President. :-
May good cheer and prosperity return to us—
may prosperity and good government be our lot
—may the march of morality and science be on
ward—may integrity of conduct atone for past
errors—and at the close of this yea r, may peace
and prosperity reign throughout the land.
(0 -The Hon. JAMS. M. Russaxr., member of
Congress elect from the Bedford and Somerset
district, vice Judge Black, deceased, passed thro'
this place on Friday last, on his way to Wash.
ington. Mr. Russell's majority in the district is
77 votes. "A miss is as good as a mile," says
the proverb; but our Locofoco friends will no
doubt call Chapman and set him up to c•r-o.w—
and at what? The official return shows.that the
Locofoco majority in Bedford county Is !minty!
and 1824 votes polled. In Cambria whore Cert.
Harrison was beaten 109 votes in 1840, the Lo.
cufoco majority is 165, with 73 votes for (en eral
.
Ross, a third candidate. In Somerset, where not
a single ticket was printed, Russell's majority is
252! Why this was the case is not for us to say.
It was an experiment which in our volley coun
ties is never tried. How it would operate in the
mountains we can conjecture. This we look up
on as something more than an ordinary triumph.
It is a part of party discipline on all sides to
furnish an abundance of tickets for the use of the
public; when then, a candidate succeeds without
tickets, (except such as can be prepared by each
man for himself,) our notion is,
.he'd he a whole
team to run, when all things were attended to
decently and in order. 1

The "omnibus" discussion upon the Tariff

“Fiscality,", aro expected to bring it into lawful

infinite, yet finite—stable, yet temporary—intend

rent, and tq, the professional dress maker
and milliner of the' United States, the en
terprise will be of incalculable advantage.
It is proposed to issue every month a num
ber and variety of costume, which will put
to the blush every thing in the way of
monthly reports of the. Fashions heretofore
attempted. ,
I For this purpose the publisher has em •
barked the most ample means and resour
ces in the enterprise, and has matured, his
plans both in this country and in Europe
prior to commencement. It has been a
favorite project, and has been deliberately
undertaken, and will be carried through
vigorously. The first number will give
an idea of the beauty, and real excellence
of, the plates.
ELZOANT SrEEL ENGRAV.pial.—In or.
der to reader the work ornamental in -the
highest degree, and to
,make it periect
parlor companion, and an ornament to the
centre table, as well as entertaining in its
literature, and aseful in the style of its
fashirin plates, it is proposed. to issue the
most elegant Steel and Mezzotint' engin.
',rings from the first artists ii 'the country,
illustrated by choice and entertaining sto
riesof domestic life. To vary the style of
illastratioai, occasional Luce &Items arid

six large octavo pages/
Tom or DtLIVERY.—The Magazine
will be issued on or before the 15th of the
month preceding the month for • which it
will be published, or dated, or about the
time the steamships which sail from
Europe, oil the first of the'omonth, usually
arrive.: Thus the' Work *ill' be 'in the
