" By thee, religion, liberty and laws, - Exert their influence and advance their cause." CoWPER. The power of the newspaper press in this country is prodigious, and it is to be regretted that it is not'oftener found in'the hands of- those. better fitted to discharge its important trusts. Cupidity is the be setting sin of American newspaper lPub lishers. It is found that administering to the depraved tastes and appetites of com munity, consulting the passion and ca price of the hour, and guiding their course by the variable breath of the multitude, is a more profitable task thansteering un deviatingly by fixed principles, and ad dressing themselves with inflexible con stancy to the better judgments of men. But the fault is not altogether with the newspaper publishers. Tberc is a defi cient moral sense in the public. which lies at the bottom of the evil. Experi ence teaches that those who -live to please, must please to live." He' who strives to be a reformer, and 'to discharge his high trust, with fidelity to the general interests of mankind, will be sadly ad monished by his dwindled receipts, that he has not chosen the path of profit, although, perhaps, it may be that of honor and jus tice. It is not the journal which is con ducted with the highest intelligence and the purest morality, t,hich is best sup ported. " Worth may be praised, but starves, While vice, with gardens, villas, coatly boards. Rare plate. and cups embossed, the worlds re [wards. Although these remarks are intended for he newspapers generally, they apply most emphatically to the party press of this :ountry. We have often deplored the surveilance of this department of our :ountry's literature, and especially of a large portion of the Democratic press of Dhio. We called the attention of our :otemporaries to this subject some. months igo, In an article which we are happy to ind copied into the Washington Union, Richmond Enquirer, Boston Post sd t ,and which, we believe, has sad a salutary effect, both at home and sbroad. In that we took the ground, that there could be no danger of collisions among ourselves, arising from any inde pendent expressions of opinions on party subjects, provided our intentions were honest, and we sought only to promulgate the truth. As partisan editors, " truth" was said to be the only platform on which we could all stand, although harmony might be acquired by forsaking it, and al lowing one man to dictate our faith, in which case we would all be slaves. This alternative was.presented to the democrat ic press of Ohio, and the choice has been in favor of liberty; liberty of thought, and of speech. The change in the tone of our democratic papers has been mark ed by the most casual observers, and we congratulate the democracy upon the event. Jefferson said, that 17we had nothing to fear from error, so long as truth was left free to combat it." Let its then cherish a spirit of independence among the fraternity, study the faith as delivered to us by the Father of the Republic. and teach it, irrespective of other men's opin ions. Let us follow truth wherever it leads, and r'espect'it wherever it is found. In politics; let us nbi followi men at the expense of principle.. nor be so devoted to party as to be blind to the vi-tues of our cieetnies. or the faults of our friends. Let our motto ever be, " Fiat justicia ruat colum," " Let justice be done thoughi the heavens fall !" NEW AND. IMPORTANT INVEN TION. A Magnetic Printing Tegraph-T he application of this hidden and mysterious pOwei-, to the purposes of the rapiid trans mission of intelligence is yet in infancy. There is now in this city, a telegraph moved by the power of electro magnetism; vthich performs that whiich, in our boyish days, we would not have believed, if. we had read of it in the Arabian Nights. We have seen. a specimen of printing done with the usual letters of the alpha bets and as legible to a child as te clear est type, which was executed 'at one end of a magnetec wire, through a direction given at-the other. It is true, as incredi ble as the statement may aeem to he, that a man might, if the wires were laid,'now sit at New York and, with more rapidity than our best compositor ca'n set t) pe, print at New Orleans a letter or despatch in the ordinary letters of our language. In a few days this invention will be made more generally known, when we will be at liberty to speak of it more fully. At present arrangements are making fur thes perfection of the patents here and in Europe. The telegraph itself we have not seen, and in making statements with regard .to it are obliged to spteak a little incautiously from hear-say. But as far as our enqiuiries go, there is no reason to d'oqbt-the representations that have been made to .us* on this subject; and as the practicability-of the thing itself, now that it has been discovered, carries- n impro bability uppn the face of it, it need not be questioned. The effects of this invention can hardly be anticipated.'- The'sobstitn tion of the tisual aphmbist for the hiraogly - phics of Morse's telegraph, is an impror tant and valuabl6-'improvement upon -one of the most wondedifl discoveries of the nee.-- V. Eve. Post NEW YRK. New York is like the famous tower of Babel iir two respects-its noise, and the confusion of its languages. It is a great bezaar, where people of every hue,.sta ture, clime and 'tongue, congregate pell mll, -alt rusjiing after one 'great prize stoNEY. - Its religions are as numerous as 'the nations from which its citizens are descended. The correspondent of the National In telligencer gives the following interesting sketch of their various creeds and church es: " A curious volume might be written descriptive of. the various churches in this city, the religious taught in them, with the characteristics of the officiating preachers. You may find sects here of every Chris tian creed, who have regular meetings on the Sabbath, and -sincerely believe that they are the favored ones, who have the truth, while all the rest of the world are groping in error. The peal of .Ahe organ Catholic Churcb in Canal street, disturbs the-philosophical Infidel, who is harangu. ing his brethren on the origin of evil and the delusions-of -the Bible in the hall hard by. Here meet the Mormons, or Latter Day Saints, and, a fewv doors further on, you may listen to an eloquent Unitarian, who has one of the most intellectual au diences in the city. In that dingy little building in Broomestreet,. a plain-looking man is preaebing a discourse in the Welsh language; and come with me to this old hulk of a ship converted into a Bethel chapel, and moored to one of the piers in the- North River, and you may hear the Rev. Air. Hedstrom,, a countryman of Frederica Bremer, preach in Swedish to some of his sea-luring brethren. The French language tay ie heard in three of our largest churches, two of nhich are costly and tmagnificent structurea; There are two awedenuurgian societies, which are said to be increasing im numbers; and the Lutherans begin to be an important sect. An elegant Moravian chapel has recently been erected in Houston street. Th: Unitartans are putling up a handsome Church in Broadway near Prince street. But none of our religious societies have yet been able>.to compete with the Pro testati . to ..- e e ot rn Church at the head of Wall street, and Grace Church, near Union Place, are now by far the most tasteful and ornamental buildings in the city, alibough it will be nearly a year before they are both com pleted. The former is built of brown treestone, and the latter of unpolished marble." New Way of Raising the Wind.-Two ingenious rogues being in Florida lately, and hard up for cash, hit upon an expedi ent by which they "raised the wind," and replenished their purses. They announ ced that they would exhibit an extraordi nary animal hitherto unknown, which had been found on the prairies, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, called the " Hoo killemail." It was agreed among the scrapegraces that one of them should represent the new animal and the other should act as shbwman. The hour an nounced for the exhibition arrived-the room was crowded to excess, so great were the curiosity of the natives to see what they had never seen before. Behind the curtain, horrible growli.tgs were heard. After a little time, the exhibitor stepped before the curtain, which -vas raised about a foot, and which discovered the legs of the driiinal-the hands and feet of the cotifederate encased in a bear's skin. . "Ladies and. gentleman." said the ex hibitor. " the animal which I shall have the pleasure of introducing to you is a wonderful curiosity. it is the first time that the . Hoosier killemall' was ever exhibited, It is a most ferocious creature, and, in all probability, utnteable." [UHere the conafederate mo' ed backwards and forwardls very rapidly, und howled in as unearthly tone as possible.] "IHewvould tear you atlho pieces, if he couldget at you; but don't be alarmed, lie is'securely chained to tne floor, and can not hairm you. You hear him roar, blit that is nothing to the dreadful noise he maie's when in pain. Before enxibiting him. I will gohbind, and prick hitt with the spike'you perceive at the end of this pole, and you will then, hear him bowl 1" The exhibitor stepped behind the cur tain. A horrible noise e as heard, togeth er with the clankinig of a chain. Imnme diately.afterwards he rushed before th'e curtain, his hair andl dress in disorder, and, with fright and :error depicted In his countenance, exclaimed-. ,. " Run for your lives ! The '[Hoodier killemall' has broken hlis chain !" It was .sufficient. . The room was cleared, as Lord Duberly would say,~ "itn the twinkling of a beil post." The ani mal escaped by . the back door, and has not been seen or heard of since.

A hard hil.-A young man bodsting of his long goat like beard upon his chin, aske~d anyoung lady how he looked. .She rlied;-- you look like you had swallowed a Poney, ahe left the'tairsticking out of vour mouth/ Words fitly Spoken.-We know not from whence .the following excellent senti ments. originated, or-we would give the credit where it is so justly' due; at any rate, we desire that- itssterliug truths should be read and treasured up in every patriot's heart in the land Which will you do?--One of two things must be done in this- country. Parents must spend money to educate their chil dren, or they must pay taxes to'buildpeni tentiaries and to punish crime.. There is a greattmistake about what is called edu cation. Some suppose a learned man is an educated man. No such thing.- That man is educated who knows; himself, and who takes accurate common' sense views of men and things around-him.- Some very learned men are the greatest fools in the world ; the reason is, that they are not educated men. Learning is 'only the means, not the end ; its value consists- in giving the means of acquiring, in the dis cipline which, when properly -managed, it gives the mind. Some-of the greatest men in the world were not overstocked with learning, but their actions proved that they, were thoroughly educated. Washington, Franklin and Sherman, were of this class ; and similar, though. not less striking instances may now be found in all countries. To be educated, man must learn-to think, reason, compare, and de-! cide accurately. He may study metaphy-1 sics till he is gray, and languages till be is a walking-polyglot, and if he is nothing more, he is an uneducated man. There is no class in the country who have a larger interest in the education of their children than farmers; and the subject should-receive from them the attention it deserves. The Duty of a Freeman.-Many very excellent men have a great aversion to politics and political discussion. We fre quently meet men of good principles and exemplary life who will remark with an air of evident self-satifaction, that they " never meddle with politics-never at tend political discussions, and never mean to be politicians." And this they will say. i manner which evences that they reel af- they had expressed sentiments which wereentirled to res-ect. Now. we We belieae that every Freeman is.bound to be a politician. We do not mean that class of men who make politics a trade-; who set out with a determination to live out of the public crib, and whose politics consist in repeating certair cant phrases, following implieirly certain leaders, and crying out, at all times, to these above them in power-Give! Give! We yield' to no one in contempt for political dema gogues, the unprincipled band whose only' aim is to mislead by vulgar clamor and of the revolution in the Presidency of the State Cincinnati. His venerable father filled the post before him-the sire won the distinction by' is patriot sword-the son will grace it in a manner worthy of his parentage.-Courier. A Beautiful Thought.-How few men seem to have formed a conception of the original dignity of their nature, or the exalted design of their creation. Regard ing themselves only as creatures of time, endowed merely with:animal.passions and intellectual faculties, their projects, aims and expectations are -circumscribed by the narrow outline of ife. -They forgt that instability and decay are written, as with a sunbeam, upon all earthly objects-that this sorld,.. with all its pageantry,.and pomp and power, is crumbling into dust that this life is scarcely deserving, of a single.;thought, excepting-as it forms the introduction to another, and that he alone acts a prudent rational part, who f'rarsaes his plans with direct reference.- to tha~t future and endless state of being.- Sin has so blinded the understanding, and debased the affections, that men never fail to invest some temporal good with fancied perfection,.and idly imagine that the attainment of it would .satisfy the desires rand fill the capacities of' the imia mortal spirit! How little do they know themselves! Tho soul is-not of thre earths and they will strive in vain, to chain it to, the durst. .Though its native strength has been impaired, and its purity tarnished, and its *glory changed,' it will ,,ot al ways he a prisoner here.
