Mr.. EDIroa.-I observe with plea
sure the nomination of Judge Mclean
for the Presidency of the United States,
and would recommend to the Working
men of the nation, to support for the
Vice Presidency, Col. X. NJ. Johnson,
of KENTUCKY; there is no man better
qualified for the station, none who
understands more thoroughly the
wants and wishes OF the Workingmen.
He has bled in the defence Of our Re-
publican Institutions, and is able to
maintain them, in the councils of the
Nation. Feeling a deep interest IN
the future concerns Of our Republic.
would recomI.end to the Working
men to holda National Convention ia
some part OF the Country, to nominate
suitable persons for the Presidency and
Wee Presidency.

Paper LINEN has been introduced
into extensive use in Paris: 1T consists
OF paper, made to resemble damask,
and other linen, SO closely that it is
impossible to detect the difference;
even to the touch the articles are very
much alike. They are used for every
purpose to which lineni is applicable.ex-
cept ofcourse, those in which durability
are required. The price is very low /;
a napkin costs only about two cents,
and when they become dirty are taken
back at half price. A good sized ia

it is tfifiing with common experience to say, Congress would not vest such a power in a single foreigner. Once admit the right, and the limits to discretion are shoreless. All history proves there is no protection from the excesses of unlimited power, nor no guaranty against it's exercise, either in the wisdom or honesty of any of its depositaries. The mo- ment they decide that the measure is neceSsa- ry or kiroher, to carry an express power of the Constitution into effect, the decree be- comes destiny to the nation, though it should contain fifteen millions of intelligent freemen.
 We may here be indulged in remark, which may serve as passing sigh over the perverted power of corporations. In their first institution in Italy, at the close of the crusades, they were notoriously intended as a relief against feudal oppression; and it is re- markable, that they are considered the dawn of what little liberty exists in Europe. They were designed to check the arbitrary sway of larger rulers and still more unfeeling despo- tism of petty tyrants. They spread from Ita- " to France, and from France to the rest of Europe, in the 18th century, and are justly esteemed the efficient instrument of the down fall of baronial tyranny, and the not less vex- atious dominion of their unbounded wealth. It remains for the free and enlightened Re- public of America to use them for the very objects they were designed to overthrow, and by such introduction, to bring back, in all its olium, the expressions and rigorous exactions of monied Aristocracy. From their origin to the present day, with but the one and me- morable exception of the American experi- ment, history may be safely challenged for the production of an instance where a nriUate exploration has ever been employed by go- vernment for the execution of any of it's fun damental principles.
