ERRORS, TYPocnAPHIcAL, sc.

We commend the following to these wh'
are in the habit of searching for errors o
the press; creatures with gizzards-with
out either hearts or SOILS, genius or talent
whose minds can contain but one or tw,
ideas, and these Of the least magnitude
critics--mere grasshoppers Of critics, whc
can chirp whole day on a single word.
"When the ordinary reader of a
newspaper, or Of a book, meets with an
occasional blunder, either Of a letter or
word, he is apt to cry out upon the
carclessness with which the ncwspa-
per or book is printed. IL in the We
ry nature Of the process of producing
words and sentences, by the putting
togetherof movable types, that great
many bnndcrs should be made by the
compositors in the first stage, which
nothing but the strictcst vigilence can
detect and get rid of The ordinary
process Of correction is for The printers
reader to look upon the proof, while
another person, generallya boy, reads
the copy aloud. As he proceeds, the
reader marks all the errors which pre-
sent themselves upon a first perusal.--
The proof then goes back to the com
positor, aud here a business of great la
Dor and difficulty cnsucs. Omitted
words and letters have to be replaced
by the coFrector. The insertion oftwo
or three words viii sometimes dcrange
the order of a dozen lines; and the O.
mission of a sentence will involve the
Encouragement Of many pages. In
the tedious process new blunders are
created, and these again
only be rcmcdied by after vigilance
The first corrections being perfected,
the reader has what is called revise
He compares this with his first proof,
and asccrtains that all his corrections
have been properly made. It this stage
of the business, the proof generally
goes to another; and it is rarely that
the most practical author does not feel
it necessary to make some alteration.
The complicated process of correction
is again to be gone over. The printers
reader and author have again rcyises,
and what they again correct is attend

sTATE RIGHTS MEETING.

: A humbug digniied by the above name,
was played off in this place, last week.
Being engaged with matters more imPor-
> tant, we did not notice it in our last at
present, our remarks viii be few and brief
but may vet have leisure to devote to
this and ether matters of minor cunsidc-
ration.
TO know by whom the meeting was
called, and who composed it, may be in
some degree interesting to those who were
not present.
! In the first place, the call was made
during the time Of Court, when large
number of persons were in town. The
gettcrs up of the meeting were DESTROYS 10.
have large number Of names appended
to the call, for this reason BOYS were al
lowed to see their names in print. The
call for State Rights meeting was made
by BoYs-not enc or two--and by sece--
rs-FederaIists-m who believe that
suffrage should be based on property quail
ifcations, by Sub-Treasury men, Bank
men, by men who avow preference for
Clay, by men who oppose him; in a word,
by al the malcontents and disappointed
partizans and SPECTATORS, forming he
trogenious compound of discordant ele-
ments, such as never before attempted to
act together, on any occasion.
Only part of those whose names were
to the call Of the meeting were in attend
ance on the appointed day. The meeting
was called together by ringing of bells,
&c. Curiosity drew together few OF
the occasion. We say a FEw, for the
whole number was small, and a large par
was opposed, in sentiment, to the meeting
yhich they had the politeness not to dis
turb. There was difference of opinion
which caused division, we counted anc
found that about forty voted, oil counted
The president on one occasion said, ''the
nays have it, nearly 80 voting ON the ne
gatiye." By this some idea can be form
ed Of the number who participated, lol
much pains was taken to separate parties
ON the occasion.
As regards the resolutions, they woul,
pass by unanimous vote at any Boston o
Hartford meeting. They breath nothin!
but Whig-Federal sentiments. The,
are not calculated for this latitude. Som
of their own party say, sin that meet
ing, that they will act no longer with tina
party. The meeting took no positiv
ground respecting the leading politica
questions Of the day and country; mega
tive, opPostion--no remedies, opposition
opposition, is the cry. There is no othe
ground on which they can meet; disagree
ing as they do on every leading point
They remind US Of SIMPSONS foxes; the
pull and run, in opposition to each other
but agree in opposing the people and tn
t Administration, as the foxes did in tn
destruction of the corn.

Judge Bucl'stest of good farming is this,
"that every successive crop is better than
the one which preceded il, and that the
profits of the farm labor are annually in
creasing. A farmer who can realize these
prospects is doing well. His land and his
purse are improving, But whenever, On
the contrary, the crops are annually d.
minishlng, the reward of labor is neces-
sariIy diminishing also: and it maybe pref
ty generally inferred that both the soil
and the purse are under the exhausting
system."

! some of the greatest philanthropiats, pat

were men who were neither nuriured IN

"The man that is cold to the land Of
his birth, will never be srarm to the land
of bis adopii0n."
All experience proves that those who
can forget the land where the heart first
leapod with li&'s young throbbing pulse,
never can become good citizens Of any
country. They are devoid Of the first
principle-AMoR pATRIA. Wegiye place
to the following, from the "Baltimere
Americen,"it finds response in our own
breast.
$50 much value do we attach to love
of country, that VIC always feel distrust-
fat of a man who pretcnds not to have
more attac hment for his native land
than to any other. Much has been
said of being citizen of the world,
and loving all men alike, but the love
is not worth having which does not dis
tingush between the scenes OF our
childhood and the comparatively unin
teres.ing localities of foreign shore.
Show US the person whose heart warns
: and eyes glisten at the bare mention Of
; the name Of HONE, and we win point
out to you good citizen, in whatever
/ part Of the world his lot may be east.
, 1t is by souls that are capable ofrecog
nizing the charms of early associations
that the blessings Of Providence is duly
appreciated, whatever men may say Of
the dispositions that know no difference
S between the 'bleuzing ingle and clean
d hearth stane Of fathers roof and
$ the hcartess greeting that exists in the
land Of strangers. The Swiss noun
tainecr dies of longing for his native
land, and at the same time will shed
his hearts blood for those whom he may
:, serve under a foreign sun. The sans
q fidelity that marks his love for his ma
!, tive mountains will characterize his dc

This great change can hardly be re-
alzed; not only was there this great
depression six months ago, but it was
next 10 impossible to negotiate. Not
q bank would collect or discount dol
lar. Not a private note or draft could
be sold at all, at any rate. What q
wonderful thing, change greater, VIC
are persuaded than was ever known in
the history of our country. On ali
these places there is an Improvement
Of ten to thirty per cent. A few indi-
yiduals lend the means, and insure gold
enough TO operate, and did invest lar
gcly, they have turned their capital at
the rate OF three and foul per cent a
month, and this is in large sums to any
amount. Capitalists generally are IL
mid. 1t is the active, young and indus
trious men, with small means, that have
confidence to 90 ahead. If capitalists
had invested their funds freely, they
might have done so to almost any OK
tent, with perfect security, and to the
great convenience of the public, It
was as clear as the sun at noon day,
that tie change which has come would
come, and that speedily. II could not
be otherwise. States that raise in 2
single year a hundred millions worth of
produce, and which were taking next
to nothing from the north, would in a
single year turn the current oftrade in
their favor. That they will do so we
have not doubt; and we should not
be at all surprised to find, and that in
a very few months, New York indebt-
ed 10 New Orleans, at least, and pro-
badly to other statcs-and consequent
ly drafts on those places at par or at
premium.
Stocks have all gone up to-day, and
there is better feeling.
