OUR NEW MATERIALS

Having arrived, our paper will henccforth ap
pear in NEW dress. To accomplish this we
have undergone an expense that ju,tifes the ex-
pectation that our desires will be SO far recipro
Gated by our patrons, as to induce them to use
some effort TO increase our subscription list
This may be done by each OF our subscribers
seeing his neighbor and inducing him to attach
his name to our list. We have nothing to offer
in the way OF complaint, for we are inclined to
believe our list Of subscribers much larger than
that Of most OF our country cotemporares but
we have a desire to render our sheet still more
acceptable and respectable Ito do which, add.
tional patronage is necessary. To u.s. it has al
ways been matter Of surprise and regret that
there should be a single American family who
failed TO patronize some newspaper. In observ-
ing the versatility of character that is dscovera.
BILE in the mass, it is but natural we should find
some denying themselves pleasures and com.
forts that others of the same means enjoy,--but
our surprise consists in the fact that we have
never talked to a man who did not acknowledge
the superior claim that newspaper had to any
other expenditure of an equal amount;--yct the
melancholy fact exists that scarcely one out o.
every four read any paper at all
One word on the subject Of advertising: We
have been most forcbly struck with the contras
in comparing our advertising columns with thost
OF other papers published in towns Of the size o
our own. Their merchants seem to occupy &
indeed that we receive even an occasional adver
tsement from such source. This is wrong
There are benefits to be derived from advertising
and our business men by so doing would not only
avail themselves Of its advantages, but would la,
and acknowledge, but take occasion to recipro
cate. Will our friends act?

THE EXECUTION OF MAJ. ANDRE.

DR.. Hall Of East Hartford surgeon in the ar.
my of the Revolution. was eye witness to the
execution of Maj. Andre, standing within four or
five rods of the scene. Noticing some inaccura-
cies in the article we published from the Kncker-
booker few days ago, he has called and related to
US the following particulars. He tcs that Andre
walked to the place Of execution behind the cart,
accompanied by two officers, on each side, ard
stopped under the galows. Arrived there, nc i'm
mediately stepped into the cart, whCl the officer of
the day Col. Scammel said to him, if you have any
thing to say, you now havean opportunity. He re-
piled, have nothing to say but have you bear wit
ness that die like brave man. Col. S then said
to the hangman, do your duty.-He went to work
SO awkwardly in attempting to put the moose over
Andres neck, that Andre took it from him and made
all effort to do it himself. But his hat being in the
way, he let 60 the rope, took OF his stock and hat
and laid them on the coffin, and unbuttoned his shirt
collar and turned it down. He then put the moose
over his head, and adjusted it to his neck took out
of his pocket white handkerchief, with which he
bandaged his eyes; and blue ribbon which ne han.
ded to the executioner, requesting him to tie his
hands behind him This being done, Col. Scamme
directed the cart to be driven away Andre was
small man and seemed hardly to stretch the rope
and his legs dangled so much that the hangman was
ordered to take hold of them and keep them straight
The body was cut down after hanging fifteen OF
twenty minutes, and buried near the gallows From
the location Of the grave Andre must have passed
| it in going to the place Of execution.
| The Doctor thinks the account relative to the at
| tempts made by Washington to secure Arnold ant
liberate Andre, must be incorrect. The Court which
sentenced Andre 10 death had been held on the 20tl
of September, only three days before his execution
the time was not BIZ any means sufficient TO nermi
such plans to be successfully carried out, especial
| the one in which Champe said to have beer
concerned. -Hqrttor3 Currant.

MUZZLING THE PRESS.

There has been a great deal Of noise in the
Legislature since the Christmas holidays, and
conseq uently, not much business. Speaking
OF the conduct OF the dominant party the New
Era remarks, potent as that majority is, its mem.
bers have found that it is not yet so powerful an
engine as the Press, and therefore they have re.
solved to muzzle that strongest safeguard, by
excluding the most efficient Reporters from the
Hall, so that their deeds Of injustice, Of violence,
Of dishonesty and Of contempt OF the Constitution
and the rights of the minority, may remain un-
noted and never reach the ear Of their constit.
uents.
We have looked into the letter which fur
nishes the ground work of this persecution, with
view to discover the cause Of offence; and re-
ally we see nothing in it deserving Of any sort Of
notice from sensible men. The charge Of want
of courtesy, in not prefxing Mr. to the names Of
persons engaged in debate, is childish, and evin.
ces more of the spirit of puppyiSns which is said
10 attach 10 miniature men and handles, than
COMFORTS with the dignity Of men selected by the
people TO represent them in the Legislature
Besides, charge Of want OF courtesy might al.
most daily be brought against either Of the gen.
tlemen who are most conspicuous in political
onslaughts in that body and during the discus
sion Of this very question, there was far greater
departure from propriety than in any thing Mr..
Green has said or DONE The occasion to which
we alude was the silly attack made upon Mr..
Bogy by Mr.. Ashby, in saying that he aoas moi
ehite man-bccause he happened to be the
descendant OF French parents and is a native
born citizen OF Missouri Where such language
is used, with the tacit sanction Of the Chair, il i;
not surprising that ndecorous epithets may some
times be used by Reporter-for the air around
him is redolent OF them. In this particular case,
however, Mr.. Green has done nothing to war
rant his exclusion from the Hail. and we cal
upon the people to rebuke the mischievou
spirits who would fam shroud their acts in dar k
ness, by denying 10 the newspaper press the usua
accommodations for reporting their proceedings
The occasion is proper one to say, that tn
Reporter for the Republican has INDUCED i,
much less violence of language than some OF he
Of the letter writer's for the press, enjoying tn
same privileges, but who happen 10 belong t
the majority side Of the House. We might poin
to the editorial articles OF one of the Jefferso
city papers, written by an officer Of the House
containing grossly reprehensible language i
relation to members Of the Legislature, but c
which no notice was taken by the dominant part
for the reason that the minority alone WERE
! blackguarded

EFMr. CLAY, in letter to a committee who
had invited him to public dinner, in New York,
says:--
feel great confidence in the integrity, and the
purity and patriotism of the intentions Of the dis
tingnished citizen who has been elected as our Chief
Magistrate. | am fully persuaded that he will no;
disappoint our hopes. Let us all cordially unite
in fulfilling all promises, and in redeeming all pied
ges which were fairly made to our countrymen, and
thus present to the world the rare, but glorious ex-
ample of an adherence in power TO the pri nciples
which were protested to acquire it. Let us all bear
in constant memory, that our opponents are eur
fellOw-ctizens, the mass of whom are as much in
erested in the prosperity, and ms sincerely devoted
TO the preservation of the Liberty Of our common
country, as we are who have differed from them as
to the best Administration Of our public affairs. II
is in this way only that can mitigate the bitter
strife of party contention, and make US one happy

MISSING MAILS.

No discovery has yet been made says the New
Era in regard to the recent rob5eres of the Eastern
Mail from this city, and other Western cities, for
New York. Two others, we learn, are now missing
six in al--from this city they are of the 9Th and
10th of December. Full two months have elapsed
since the commencement of these despera'ons, and
notwithstanding the secret police of the department
and the large sums of money expended for this ser.
vice, not solitary clue be obtained to robberies
evidently of vast extent. These depredations have
not been committed in lone places, or in towns, but
must have been done at some of the distributing
Offices or principal points on the route, and proves
that the establishment requires publication in all
its branches, That work will be left for Presiden,
Harrison.

o swift we 60 Ger the fleecy snow,
When moon-beams sparkle round;
When hoofs keep time to music's chime,
As mcrrily on we bound.
On a winters night when hearts are light,
And health is on the wind,
We loose the reign and sweep the plain,
And leave our care behind.
With laugh and song we glide along
Across the fleetinr snow,
With friends beside how swift we ride,
On the beautiful track below.
