ness, or sufficiently competent to promote its
high and dignified character. The press OF the
United States, if properly conducted by those
who have practical knowledge of the CART
PREsERvATIvE OF ALI ARTS" would serve as a
beacon light Of civil and religious liberty to all
the nations Of the world. But If it should un-
fortunately fall into the hands of inexperienced
men Of other professions-it is immediately
converted into an engine Of confusion, made
subservient to private interest, and an enemy
to public welfare. In several Of the large cit
les of the Union there are many reckless PET
TlFoGGERs, who for want Of support IN their
own lawful profession, intnde themselves up
on the noble-miaded and aierous-hearted Prin-
ters, until THEY finally iced in depriving the
Press of its legitimate owners, and WELD it ac-
cording to THEIR own legal technicalites, per-
haps for a stipulated sum as reward Of edlto-
rial seryices rendered in behalf Of some party

pers in an independent and respectful manner
always guarding and protecting the individ-
ual relations Of private society, and ever ready
to promulgate whatever relates to the advance
ment and benefit of the commonwealth, regard
less of unauthorized cliques or mercenary slip

to protect the American Press from the abuse
of the age we live in, than the most refined
classic erudition Of the nineteenth century.

the head of the American Press. The pRAcTI-
CAL PRINTERS of the United States should al

and it is to be hoped that they will unite IN
repelling from their sphere of knowledge all
renegades of every trade and profession that

JUDGE UpsHuR.-The Southern Literary
Messenger contains notice of our new Sec
rotary Of the Navy. In an able review. writ
ten some time since, the Judge held this Ian
guage; 1--WE ought not to lose sight Of the
rapid progress we have made IN the decline OF
public virtue. It becomes us to understand
that we have no longer Washingtons among
US, to whose pure hands the greatest powers
may be safely entrusted. Weare now in that
presise stage of our progress, when reform Is
not impossible, and when the practlca! opera
ton OF the Government has shown US IN what
particulars reform is necessary. II we regard
our Government, BOT as the mere Institution OF
the hour, but as system which is to last
through many successive generations, protec-
ting and blessing them, it becomes us to cor
rect its faults, to prune its rudundancles, 70
supply its defects. to strengthen its weak
points. and check its tendency to run into
irresponsible power. If this be not speedily
done, It requies no prophets eye 10 see that i
will not be done at all. And whenever this
great and necessary work shall be w taken,
the single reform which is here suggested Will
accomplish half that is required" 3

TEARs.-Thero is sacredness in tears.
They are NOT the mark Of weakness, but Of
power. They speak more eloquensly than ten
thousand tongues. They are the messengers
of overwhelming grief, Of deep con,ri,ion, OF
unspcakable love. If there were wanting any
argument to prove that man is mortal, would
look for it in the strong conclusive emotions Of
the breast when the soul has been deeply agi-
tated when the fountains Of feeling are rising.
and tears are gushing forth in crystal strearps.
Oh, speak not llarshly Of the stricken one
weeping in silence Break not the solemnity
by rude laughter, or intrusive footsteps. Des-
pise not woman's tears-they are what make
her an angel. Scof not if the stern heart Of
manhood is sometimes melted to tears Of sym
pathy--they are what help to elevate him
above the brute. love to see tears Of afec-
ton. They are painful tokens. but still most
holy. There is pleasure in tears-an awful
pleasure. II there were none on earth TO shed
tear for me. should be 10th to live, and il
