BOON'S LICK TIMES.

This paper, which was recently sold, is
to be continued by the late proprietors,
who promise to make it good family news
paper. In political matters, we understand
them as being disposed to consult the inter-
ests of the Wing party, as distinguished
from fealty to this or that particular man..
Such course ought to commend the paper
to the support of the Wings of that section
of the State. A very little while will serve
to satisfy persons whether common
ground of union can be selected by Con-
gress, in regard to National Bank; and
until this is tried, at least, all attacks upon
prominent members of the party should be
discouraged, no matter in what quarter
they may be urged. One month more will
put US in possession of the Presidents views
in regard to a Bank, and if they should not
be satisfactory, the People will very soon
tell him SO. On the other hand, if he sug-
gests provisions which will admit of COM
promise, there is patriotism enough in the
majority in Congress to meet him fairly,
and settle the question. But until this cff'prt
is made, all abuse of Mr.. CLAY, or of Mr..
TYLER, or Mr.. WEBSTER, is out Of place
and, if persevered in, must destroy the
Wing party. Mr.. CLAY has done his duty
his whole duty-honestly and patriot.
cally. Mr.. TYLER has failed to meet the
wishes of the Wing party, in one instance
But he has asked further time to arrange
and mature his views on the subject, and ii
should be granted without any effort to pre-
indice him in the estimation of the people
Mr. WEBSTER stands pledged that a Wing
Clngress and Wing President will ye
mature the features Of such an institution
as will satisfy the people; ana in this posi-
ton of things, no obstacle to its success
ought to be interposcd by men laying claim
10 the appellation of Wings.

up the fatal ire Of their wrath upon him
whose voice dare rise against their iniqui-
ties. The deceased man, whose name was
Boatright, had thus offended them: he had,
with others of his fellow-citizens, declared
himself openly opposed to them; and as
might have been expected in country like,
ours, where, from the sparsencss of frontier
population, the avenues to the wrath of BAN
ditt are wide open, the unfortunate man
had to forfeit his life as ransom for his al
ienation to their authority. The citizens of
our border country have witnessed these
men, under the name of Regulators and
MOderators, committing in the territory of
Texas some of the most barbarous cruelties
of the 10Th century. .H .'a .a..
The country on our border, towards the
33d degree of latitude, isthe principal scene
of action; and it is but few years ago that
an American, who had shipped from New
Orleans to one of their towns a large assert
ment of groceries and dry goods was rout-
ed out, and the goods forcibly taken off by
ihc gang. Nothing was ever done about
it, and the act is now almost forgotten. A
while ago one of the captains of the Regu-
ldtors, and man that was with him. were
shot in small village of the name of Lo-
gansport. The captain and the person
with him had not long been gone from the
store where they had been making pur-
chase, waen discharge of muskets was
heard by the storekeeper. He rushed out,
and soon discovered the two bodies lying
on the ground; there was no one near, and
he was left to conjecture the cause of their
death. Examining infinitely the place
around. it was not long before he discover
ed on the earth, between two fallen trees
the impress of five or six men; and it thus
appears that these two m,n had been shot
down without quarrel or fight, without in.
timation, and with the most cool determi.
nation. In view of their enormties, we
cannot wonder why Boatright, or any other
American citizen, should have expressed
their dissatisfaction. But we shall not seek
arguments to prove what the bare facts
evnce; and we call upon the friends of this
man and the citizens generally to bring this
act before their Government, and let il
claim their attention. The subject is one
certainly that ought to demand its highest
Observation-Disclosures Herald.

fish-women in our markets, the match boys
and apple girls who pass from day TO day
through the various sections of the city
all, or nearly all, seem to have some taste
for newspaper literature. The press may
indeed be described as the great moral en-
CINE of the country. 1t penetrates into ev-
cry village and hamlet. The merchant in
his counting room, the professor in his
study, the mechanic in his workshop--all
gather from the newspapers some idea Of
the progress in pablo affairs--some notion
of men. morals, manners, and the great to-
pics of pubic discussions. How impor-
tan', then, that The press should be in hon
est hands--should be directed at least with
an eye TO the greatest good of the greatest
number" and should avoid everything cal
culated to vtiate and deprave. Generally
speaking, American news papers, on all pro-
per occasions, inculcate sound lessons OF
morality. But there are exceptions--ex
ceptions in which vitiated taste is appeal
ed to and psmpered, and in which delib
crate effort is made to undermine all that
should be held sacred in society and rel
gion. ..,

WHOLESALE DEATH.

We copy the following paragraph from
the Louisville Journal OF lhe 25,h ui.-"two
Or three weeks ago, three hundred foreign
migrants arrived az the Balze below New
Orleans. The city authorities, hearing u
their arrival, and anxious that they should
not fall victims to the yellow fever, sent "a
depulatinn, warning them not to enter the
city, and offering to furnish them with the
means Of subsistence until the pestilence
should subside. The cmigrants thought ii
was all "a Yankee trick. ave are lold''
said they to the depulalion, shat we can
make three dollars day in New Orleans;
# the authorities will pay us that, we will
stay where we are--ifn not, not" The poor
fellows fastened to the city, and, at the
last dates, it is said that not one ef them was
living"

THE PUBLIC PRESS.

According to official accounts recently
published, there are more newspapers cir
culated in the American Union than in any
other country on the face of the Globe
Thus--in Great Britain and Ireland, the
number of newspapers published is $50; in
France $50; in the German States 3OS; in
Holland $50; in Prussia 2SS; and in the
United States 1856 periodicals, 1850 of
which are newspapers. Some of our week.
lies circulate as many as from 10000 to
$4,000 copies of each number, and we be-
lievc that one Of the penny papers of New
York issues more than 10000 copies daily.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the vast null
titude read in this country-that millions
of human beings pore over the columns of
our public journals, and imbibe from them,
either sentiments of vice or virtue. The

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

Some Texas marauders lately crossed
over the line into Louisiana and took forci-
BILE possession of citizen in the parish Of
Caddo. After they had carried him into
the territory of Texas, it was proposed to
bury him alive. With this intention a
grave was then dug--the unfortunate man
being a witness of their movements. He
stood helpless, counting each shove-full of
earth, as the quick termination of his life,
surrounded by gang of desperadoes, ready
to crush him beneath the clod, and from
whose sentence escape was death. Over
powered with the frightful fate before him,
he bounded from his keepers, and rushed
into an adjacent thicket; but before his steps
had measured many PAGES over the earth,
a heavy volley of musketry brought him to
the ground, and there he lay ilcless corpse,
victim to the insecurity of our border
protection. His body, after being cut up,
was hung upon the branches of the neigh
boring trees, there to meet the gaze of the
traveller, and tell him of power that
knows nothing of the bounds of law, or of
human authority; but, like the bowling
beasts of the wilderness, would snap the
fragile chords Of life if interest once stirred

with which he shaved himself soon after he
had shaved the face of his deceased father.
The father was patriot Of the Revolution,
a pensioner, and advanced beyond the age
Of eighty; and in shaving the face OF the
corpse the razor drew little blood. The
son, without wiping the razor, mace use OF
II to shave his own face, on which he also
drew blood, and he made use Of the same
lather and brush which he used on the
corpse. Soon after, his face became much
swollen, and he gradually grew worse Tor
about ten days. being much of that time IN
grea, torture, till he died. 1t is certainly
possible, and it seems probable, that par
ticIe Of the pu,rld matter from the face OF
the corpse was communicated to the blood
Of the living. and that IT operated with as
much malignty as the virus by which the
small pox is propagated. " D.. b.

WIG ORGANIZATION.

THE Republican and Columbia Patrio,
have for some time been urging the neces-
sl,y of thorough organization of the par
ty at the coming election-to nominate can
didates for Congress, &c. These editors
aver. that this course is the true policy for
The Wings, on the ground that success, if
not probable, is possible, and that if ever
we would gain the asccndency in this State
we must continue the fght-we must per-
severe to the end. This is a very common.
dable spirit, but discretion is the better part
OF valor. 1t may be well to reflect upon
the situation Of our opponents, Just at this
time. The views of the editor of the New
Era evince more wisdom, ifnt as much
patriotism, ardor, aud spirit than has been
shown by the Republican and Patriot
However, il is useless to quarrel about fight
ing-or rather, about the best mode of al.
tack, although we must admit that as par
ty, the Wings arc generally prone to this
evil, as sad experience has shown.

WOMAN.

There shines an all-pervading grace,
A charm diffused through every part
Ofperfect w0man's form and face,
That steals, like light, into mans heart.
Her look is to his eyes beam
Of loneliness that never sets
Her voice is 10 his ear dream
OF melody it meier forgets.
Alike in motion or repose.
Awake or sumbering, sure to win,
Her form, vast transparent shows
The spirits light enshrined within.
Nor charming only when she talks.
Her very silence speaks and shines;
Love gids her pathway when she walks,
And lights her couch when she reclnes
Let her, in short, do what she will,
IT'S something for which man must WOO her
So powerful is that magnet still,
Which draws all souls and senses to her.
