ourselves, perform the "arduous duty" of
editing, set the type, make up the forms, do
the press and job work, fold the papers
make the packets and paste, bring water
make fires, sweep out, wet down paper,
keep the books, and do every other matter
and thing except carrying the town pa
pers, the expense of which we have shdced
dotDn to picayune per week! In addition
to these "arduous duties" we take and
read all the fashionable magazines, gallan,
the ladies, and have an idea of counting a
few of them,--pay cash in hand for all ouI
materials.-think very strange of those
patrons who forget to pay their accounts

notice, has adopted the "Democrat's' style
of arguing. The conductors of those pa

press it, ones olfactories are affected in
such manner as to cause it TO be dropped
like hot potato"

THE UNIvERsrTy.--Whilst at Columbia,
the first of the week, we took look at
this building. 1t is truly magnificent
edi6ce, and reflects great credit on the Ar
chitect. The plain, neat, yet substantial
manner in which the designs of the Archi-
tect have been carried out, are also highly
creditable to the mechanics who are en-
ployed in its construction. The building
is not yet finished, but will be completed
during the present season. LIT.
The good citizens of Boone, albeit they
paid "dear for the WHISTLE may well be
proud of having this institution located in
their county. Boone county, however
will not be the only recipient of the good
effects of this institutions; if properly man
aged-and when the acknowledged ability
and superior talent of its Professors are
taken into consideration, none can dou6
but that it will be-the whole State will b'
benefited by its operations.
There is now no need of or excuse TO
our citizens sending their sons out OF tn
State for the purpose of being educated
we have an institution in our own State
identified with our interests, combining a
much talent as any in the Union, and
should be encouraged and sustained.

UFThe following letter was addressed
TO Samuel w. Lucas, post master at Jack
sonvie, Illinois. Mr. Lucas has since its
receipt been removed, and full blooded
locofoco appointed in his stead, by which
it may be inferred he did not feel willing
to give his aid in relieving Mr.. Jones of
the pressing demands against him. The
pecuniary affairs Of the Madisonian, it APP
pears, are in a sad situation. We had
thought from the Boosting tone of the Mad
isonian, that steam press was kept con-
stantly going to print the large edition it
sent among the people; that SO far from
begging for subscribers, it kept two or
three expeditions clerks busy entering the
names of the new subscribers who volun-
tarily came forward to subscribe for it,
Those declarations were for the "pubit
eye" and the following letter for the "pri
vate eyes" what a difference But Mr.
Jones private fortune" is gone-has been
spent in the cause--and he should be
helped. There are thirteen thousand posi-
masters in the United States, and if he
could succeed in getting twenty dollars
from each of them, which would be $500,
900, it would no doubt replace all the pri.
vate funds he ever expended in any cause
If the post masters cannot let him have
the twenty dollars, they should at least dc
everything for the cause in their power, a:
its triumph will compensate him.

GENERAL VAN RENSSELAER'S
STATEMENT.

We invite public attention (says the New
York Commercially to the statement of the
veteran Solomon Van Rensselaer,, touching
his removal as postmaster at Albany. 1t
will be seen that the General threatens a
disclosure as to the views of Mr. Tyler,
on the bank question, as expressed by him
subsequent to the decease Of the lamented
Harrison. Captain Tyler and his guard
must look out or they will get worse cut
ting up than he gave to the dusky forces of
Little Turtle, at the battle of the Mamis,
in l794. The old General never draws
his sabre but with effect.

DEAR SrR:-
The committees appointed by the city councils
and the commissioners of the incorporated districts
of the county have held several meetings, and have
generally agreed to recommend that the city and
county be divided into three fire dstricts-the first
10 consist of Southwark, Moyamensing and Passy-
unk the second Of the city proper; and the third
of Northern Liberties, Spring Garden, Kensington
and other upper districts. 1t is suggested that the
operations of companies located IN each district
shall be limited within their own bounds unless IN
case Of actual necessity or ct a flrc immediately
on near the division line. There is proposition
also to elect chief and assistant engineers IN
each district, to superinend the operations of the
tiremen and to have entire control over the appa-
ratus in times of fire The report of the committee
is looked for with great anxiety, as well by the
fircmen as numerous body of citizens who are
interested in the action about to be taken, either
improve the character OF the existing Fire Depart
ment or to reorganze II to retain the spirit of
emulation that has SO long existed, and to prevent
the recurrence of those disgraceful that have
