New Map of Ohio.

The subscribers propose publishing new edi
tion of their map Of the State of Ohio.
This Map is compiled from the Surveys in tho
Generals Office al Cincinnati, inpar
by Mr.. Samuel Morrison, whose skill. as
experience and known accuracy
are fully attested, not only by the present Sur
veyor Geaersl, but confirmed by the ceftiheats
hereunto attached, Of Robert T. Lytle, ESQ, the
predecessor of Mr.. Halnes and will exhibit the
sections, fractional Sections, Virginia Military
Surveys, principal roads, Public works and con-
templated public Improvements, together witt
the Lakes, Rivers, Indian Reservation, eounue.
Towns, cities and villages, which will be lait
down with the greatest possible accuracy.
There is no doubt that this map will contain
the most minute and authentic information ol
any state map ever published. One Of the pro-
pretors has visited every county in the Siates io
the purpose Ofgathering every Information requis,
ite, to insure correctness. This fact Of ITSELF
will necessarily give assurance to those who may
patronize the map, that for real Autility, It mus
supersede any mapgo up East, for the purpose
of state, but without the advantage of the per
sonal inspection and labor that has been bestow'
ed exclusively on this.
The size of the map will be between A and
feet square, neatly colored in c1unties, mounted
and vanished; aud soldto subscribers at the low
price of six dollars.
Agents or companies taking ten copies, will
| be allowed deduction offorty per cent.

DR. Claiming, in one Of bis latest Ad.
dresses says, with as much beauty as
force, that the grand end Of society IS to
place within the reach Of all its members
the means Of improvement, Of elevation
Of true happiness Of man. There is a
higher duty than to build an almshouse
for the poor, and that is, to save men
from being degraded in the blighting in :
fuences Of an almhouse. Man has a
right to something more than bread to
keep him from starving. He has right to
the aids and encouragements and Gull
ture by which he may fulfill the destiny
of man, and until society is brought to
recognize and reverence this, it will con-
tinue to groan under its present miser'
les.

PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESS
IONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

These works have such wide circula-
lation, and have been so universally appro-
we'd and sought after by the public, that
we deem it necessary only in this prospec
tus to say, that they will be continued at
the next session Of Congress; and to
state succinctly their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the prices
for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF
the daily proceedings of the two Houses OF
Congress. The speeches of the members
are condensed, TO bring them into reada-
Bile length. All the resolutions offered,or
motions made, are given in the movers
own words; and the yeas and nays on all
the important questions. 1t is printed with
small type--brevier and nonpareil-on a
double royal sheet, in quarto form; each
number containing Is royal quarto pages.
1t is printed as fast as the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks of session
usually furnish matter enough for one num-
Der week; and the balance of The session
enough for two or three numbers week
The approaching session Of Congress will
be a long one, and will furnish matter
enough, we suppose, for fifty or sixty num-
bers.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi.
dents annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of government that ac'
company it, and all the long speeches o.
members Of Congress, written out or rev.
sed BY themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Gobe, q
usually makes about the same num' er
naees. There are not so many number
published, the FIRST weeks of The session
I as there are numbers of the Congresslon
