GsoLosscAL survey OF THE SrArE.-The first an

survey Of the state contains much interesting mat

very extensive embracing the whole range Of natural
history animals, vegetables and minerals. The mi
neurological and chemical department, by DR.. Lewis
c. Beck, and the Geological by DR.. Dekay, contain
much valuable information. Actual discoveries of
valuable substances may not only be anticipated, but
correct information will be obtained, which will lead
our citizens TO renounce their search after silver and
other metals which have existence in the state, or
are sought for in njudicious places 1t is not impro-

TnE SLAVE CASE AeAIs.-We stated, yesterday
Notwithstanding the Recorder refused to act in this
case and the consequent arrest of the prisoner by
officer Boudnot, that fresh legal proceedings weuld
be Instituted We were not mistaken. A new writ Of
hebeas corpus was served upon the officer, command
ing him to produce the prisoner before Judge Irving
in order TO obtain his decision thelegaity of the

on Thursday by the Recorder, a watch word was

"SToP MY PAPER. 1--WE copy the follow
ing from the Massilon CO., Gazette, edited
by Colonel James Allen, who las: wear went
to Texas as volunteer, in the service Of that
country. Thepapei Is one of the largest in
the state, and edited with ability. He Yields
the pen with great power, as the subioined on
acommon topic will show:
"tSTop MY PAPER. There is something dis
NAL in the tone ofthese three last wards. They
have sounded death-knell to the hopes Of
many youthful journalist. To a young man,
it is not only only ruinous to his purse, but it
is deeply stabbing his professional pride, to say
to him, Stop my paper But age accustoms
us to every ihirg. An old veteran newspaper
publisher cafes no more for fdgetty, quarrel
some, woMd-be-offish subscriber than blind
horse does about counterfeit note on the bank
EOwl creek. An editor has nothing more to
do than to satisfy himself that he is right in
| them, and express them well---and for every
.stqp-my-paper' case he meets with, he will
have dozen compliments paid to his talents
and honesty in new subscriptions editor
must never try TO please any one but himself"
The Cincinnati Chronicle makes few re-
marks on the above, which we fully concur
in; and as they are appropriate on the present
occasion, we adopt them as our own.
That paper says, ''In this opinion, we fully
concur; and accordingly we shall discuss epe-
ry question which is agita,ing the public,
Commercial, political, literary, or religious, )
without the least reference to any body's opin-
ion but our own. But we shall discuss prin-
c;ples and not persons. The former practice in
structs the public mind; the latter occasions a
petty, personal warfare, annoying to many,
and useful to none. In respect to stoppages,
every common-sense man knows that for one
subscriber lost on account of opinion, two are
gained for its Independent expression. Let
then the public tolerate an honest difference Of
opinion; men know much more of each other,
and gain many moro ideas from collision OF
thought, than for any vassalage Of opinion, OF
the tame acquicscence in the will Of others,
which the timid and the time-serving press al.
ways falls into.''

THE QUAKER GIRLS.

There's many lass with blooming cheek,
And many an eye that's learned TO speak,
There's many beauty jewsll'd out,
And many wit at ball and rout,
And many head for such will whirl,
But give me beautiful quaker girl!5
There are those that please and those that charm
There are those that boas. Of a lovely form,
OF pretty teeth or pretty foot,
Or Of having sprung from an honored root,
Or Of heads all deck'd with gems and curls,
But these are unlike the quaker girls.
Have you ever gazed on a pretty face,
by nature deck'd with every grace,
That told of soul all pure and bright,
VI mind that glowed with virtues light,
That spoke of heart TO nature true!
'Tis the quaker girl exposed 10 view?
Have you ever felt Of lilly hand
That, shrinking, gave you reprimand!
Have you ever chatted, 1--WE all know how,)
And smiled at her simple ssthee" and s'thou,,'
Or laughed when she frankly told you .yEs,''
'Tis the fashion you know with the quakefcss.
There iskindness beaming for evrry eye,
And truth on every look and sigh;
There is honesty breathed in every vow,
And it sounds no worse for its 'sthee'' and sthou,

But the quakeress is the one for mo!

Olo rlMEs.--There are doubtless among
our readers some who recollect the compliments
which JEFFERSON and MADISON were honored
by the party that formerly gloried in the "tedr
eral'' name, as it does just now IN that oi
"Whir." Time only can show whatat Will
be called next year,
With some slight changein names, the pa
rapraphs from the federal press during the ad.
ministration Of the patriots, might be quoted
now by the wing prints, as indicative OF their
ssunutterable Indignation" at the ''auocious
measnres,' Of Jackson and Pan Buren,.
II will be seen by the following extract from
she Connecticut Currant of 1903, that Mr.. Tao
mas Jefferson, probably the same old gentle
man who nettled the tories Of '76, by drafting
the Declaration Of Inaependence.) perpetrated
snndry cnormities thirty years again. which
..RUiNED THIS COUNTRY" pretty much
after the Van Buren, fashion ofthe present day!
With the slight exception that Mt. Jefferson
had no wonder working ''specie order," where
with TO accomplish his ruinous projects, while
on the hand Van Buren, has not been openly
charged with the design attributed to Mr.. JEFF
.fersoa) Of running the churches, and burning
up our bibles!
Substitute the names of Van Durcn for JEFF
ferson, and Mexico for Great Britain, and see
how closely the federal viru!ence against JEFF
1erson resembles the anatnemas Illuminated a
.gainst Van Burcn.--[ Roch. Rep.

From the Connecticut Courant of April 9th, 1903.
The Jelfersonian Administration have led us
BLINDFOLD into the most PERILOuS
SlTUATION---they have brought us 10 the
BRINK OF RUIN by their weak or WORSE
than weak measures---they had DESTROY
ED our trade, BEGGARED our seamen, cut
off the farmer from his market, and the me-
chanic from his trade; our merchants ARE
RUINED, because their business is BRO
KEN UP--CREDIT is ANNIHILATED;
and 10 crown the whole, we are madly rush.
ing into destructive war with Great britain.
All these concurring evils have caused a
great and increasing ALARM in the country,
and all classes and parties are eagerly inquiring
into the causes of our national troubles. ALAS!
THEY INQUIRE IN VAIN. We have
SUFFERED OURSELVES TO BE LED
BY THE NOSE TAMELY AND SUB
MISSIVELY, APPARENTLY SATISFI-
ED WITH RUIN, IF WE ARE ONLY
RUINED BY MR.. JEFFERSON. He
keeps all to himself, and we are allowed to
ask no questions, or if we ask, we are DEM
ED I'LL ANSWER.
In order to show that we are foes to useless
cmbargoes and opposers of war, let the me-
chanic, be thrown out of employment---which
in former times gave him and his family COM
Portable support--let the day laborer, whose
spade and axe have been thrown by as useless,
and let all classes Of men unite their suffrages
to elect those men to Office, who will exert their
best talents to save our SINKING COUN-
TRY.
