Boston LIBERALlTY.-We do not
admire Boosting, and do not intend to
blow trumpet over every little be-
neficence OF our fellow citizens; but
on the other hand, we hold with
Shakespeare, that zone good deed dy-
ing tonyueless, slaughters a thousand
hanging upon that Al least, it may
do SO. Virtue, like vice, is contagi-
Gus, and ought to be made the most
OF. For the public benefit, therefore,
the nobe acts OF individuals should
not be sighted; and with this feeling
we consider ourselves free to notice
a rumor which has just reached US,
from a source leaving no doubt of its
essentia! correctness. Our readers
know that the Blind Asylum has been
moved to South Boston. They have
heard, alse, OF the great pleasure these
children hive in their music. Their
organ, therefore, has been an I'M
speakable delight to them. But in the
new establishment this instrument has
hitherto proved too small, OF for some
other reason it became necessary to
get new one. The question was,
now? The late concerts of the pu-
plIs were held with this view, and did

suggested that this was more than
would be wanted.-.'Very we'll, then;
do what you like with the surplus;

that such things can be done here,
and the individual not be detected;
but SO it is, and long may it continue
to be so.-Journal.
SPLITTING HAiRs.-The present Uni
ted States Senator from Connecticut,
Perry Smith, is represented 70 be a
petty snappish, third rate lawyer. In
the event that Roger NJ. Sherman, "a
man of transcendant abilities, but a
Hartford Convention Federalist)
should be elected as his colleague, the
Louisville Journal, (whose senior ed
itor formerly resided in Connecticut,)
thinks the two Senators will be Curl
ously paired. The Journal says
We recollect that some years ago,
Sherman and Smith were opposed to
each other as advocates in an impol-
tant case before court of justice.
Smith opened the case with violent
and foolish trade against Sherman's
political character. Sherman rose We
