REVOLUTIONARY RELIcs.-Want of room compels
rs to omit this day the continuation of the publica
uon OF those interesting and important evolutionary
papers, which have created such a sensa ton
amongst all classes of readers in this community
The public curiosity has been stimulated to an ex-
raordinary extent by the papers found in the boot of
Major ANDRE but the letters of Washington to Gin
ton are calculated to produce great moral effect.
These friendly and gracefully written epstles exhl-
bit the refined and elevated feeling the pure and
afectlonate heart-the cultivated taste-the digni-
fed and honorable sentiments of the "Fathsr of his
Couatry," in most bold and impressive contrast with
the degrading sehshness-the hypocrisy, corruption,
violence and folly of thepolitica men-of the present
time. As we go farther into the contents OF these
seventeen trunks in the possession of Colonel Beck
man, Of Flatbush, l.. l., we will contrast the virtue,
PATRIOTISM purity OF character. and earnes: zeal OF
the heroes OF the Revolution, with the ignorance
the impotence the corruption OF those who call
themselves the Statesmen of the present day.
We think that the present aspect of our times in
dcates that the public mind should be led back to
that glorious era in the history of the New World,
which these papers illustrate, in order to iniuse
healthy tone of feeling into public sentiment, and
restrain and correct the ioes and vices of politi
clans. History" it has beeAwe said, sis philoso
ply teaching by example," am no where can bet
ter Illustration of the maxim be found than in that
portion OF the chronicles of this country to which
we are now enabled in the publication of these do
cumenrs, TO direct the thoughts of all classes
Even in those private letters of George Washing
ton-never intended to meet the public eye, but sm
ply communicating TO attached friend, and
one, we may add eminently worthy ofthat llustrious
attachment, the expression of unaffected goodwill
and esteem, and the social courtesies of life, we
can trace the same gueless mind, the same glow
ing sincerity, the same purity of soul, that so
consplcuousy displayed in the whole public career
OF that great and ever-tobe revered patriot. What
sad and sickening contrast, it is to be feared,
would the private correspondence of most of our
public men, with their political associates present
TO this,
These letters and papers, or the greater part of
them, were in the hands of Jared Sparks but he
strangely overlooked them in compiling his lite of
Washington and his purpose seems to have
been rather that of book making, than the bringing
forward the characteristic traits of the heroes of the
revolution What Mr. Sparks left undone will
perform. We shall continue to publish these
papers in the most extensive manner, in the daily
and Weekly Herald and thus circulate about
$4,000 copies of them. We shall then issue them in
separate form, and ar the cheapest possible rate, in
an edition OF 100000 copies, that all classes may
peruse and possess them. We will thus do some
thing towards correcting the perncious influence of
the trashy, llcentlous novels of the age, which, as
we showed the other day, calculated only to
dissipate the minds of our youth, and lessen their
regard for those principles of virtue and morality on
which alone, national as well as individual pros
perity and happiness, can repose.
