Editorial Convention. -Friend Storer, Of the
New-Haven Fountain, who is always getting UP
something good, pleasant and agreeable in his re-
freshing periodical, from Biddy Wheelers Big Egg,
to Dr. Trails 300 Temperance Prize Essay, sug-s
gests the propriety of holding Convention Of
Temperance Editors from all parts Of the Union,
in the goodly" City of Elms," (N. Haven,) on the
4th of July next. This is good suggestion. -s
Right joyously would other editors, join In the
same noble band, thus to celebrate the achieve
ments of Temperance. But their duties call them.
in a somewhat different channel. Here's health
to Friend Sorer, and all his Temperance Coadju-s
TORS throughout the United States, and more par-
ticulariy, to all the fair and benevolent Martha
Washingtonans throughout the world, in glass
Of pure cold water just brought from the Town
Pump, and well sweeiened, with moIasses. Thus
will we ssvifcheiize old Alcohol, with substances
Of his own color and, complexion, Against his
weak scouts Cider and Ale, will use the sacitrs
of water and molasses-sgainst his stronger ennis
saries, Wine and French Brandy, we will use a
deeper colored saoitch-7and against Rum, Gin and
Whisky, those hypocrjtical miners and sappers,y
who, u they cannot be detected by their COLOR are
always sure TO betray themselves by their smell,
we will use the limpid juice of the Well and the
Fountain. ,,,3 .,.i ., h.... .. g..,.. ...-r ..

WHO DONE THISs

A few years ago, | saw young man OF
character, wealth, and influence the future
opened before him with prospects OF hon-
orabie distinction and usefulness. When
saw him again, cloud was on his path
despair was on his heart his character was
blasted, his wealth squandered, and his IN
fluence gone. He was an outcast from
home. an ulcer on society. He was filthy,
bloated, wretched drunkard. He died, but
had no hope Of heaven | asked, who done
this; who destroyed this young man !
"The rum-seller," was all the answer re-
ceived
knew another young man OF property,
education, and refinement He lived in
beautiful mansion, richly and elegantly fur
nlshed. His lovely and accomplished wife
was as fruitful vine by the side OF his
house; and his children were like olive
plants around his table, He was prosperous
and happy for several years. When next
saw him, his mansion was sold and his
family removed. His dwelling was miser-
able hut. He was poor, thrittless drunk
ard. His wife was dying; for her heart was
broken; she could cling to life no longer.
His younger children were going from door
to door begging bread asked him who
done this-who has ruined your family
who has taken your property He merely
replied, The Rumseller.'' He could say
no more.
/ was once passing through district
Of country, and heard that its laws wera
often outraged, and the rights Of its citizens
trampled under foot. The courts had much
business to do, and the jails and the poor
houses were generally well filled. The ex-
pense Of these was enormous, but it was
met by heavily taxing the community, espe-
cially the honest Industrious, and temper
ateportion oft A gentleman ofintelligence
remarked, that he was of the opinion, that
were it not for certain RumselIers in the
neighborhood, the expenses Of the courts,
jails, and poor-houses would be considera-
bly, less, and that the laws would be better
observed, and crime and poverty would be
less frequent; but while the Rumsellers con-
tinued their business, he could cherish
but little expectation Of reform. came to
the conclusion that rumselling must be a bad
business; the Rumseller appeared to me to
be Of little benefit to community. rath-
er. thought he was curse. C.

OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-

ton of Francis j. Troubat, esq, Of Philadelphia; /;
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, of Pittsburgh
This work contains the best productions Of Eng
lish law authors withoutregard to priority of claim
on the partof any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'M
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim an un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market Should new editions of the works
OF such writer's as Starkie, the Chttys, Stephen
and Archibold, appear, they shall also be ncluded
and digests of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Phiadelphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law.
IL This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers of 16O pages, printed fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at dollars per
mum, payable half yearly.

This Journal will be devoted to the subjects of
Religion, Morality, Science, &c.. Religious sub
ects will be treated in temperate but fearless man
ner, and the tenets of the various sects as occa-
sion may require, will be examined with candor
and impartiality No personalities calculated to
displease, will ever be admitted.
Education and Temperance will be advocated
Party Politics will not be touched upon; but dis
passionate arguments on general and abstract ques-
tions may occasionally appear; and Political ques-
tions forming connection with Religion (such as,
the union Of Church and State, &c) will be freely
discussed.
AS to scientific subjects, preference will be ex
tended to those of apractical and useful charac
ter. 8aE liz a &A @ t t 4a sE

CONGRESSIONAL INrn4LrcENcER.

The proprietors of the National INrEIIIGEN-
GER, in order to meet the wishes of those whose
circumstances or inclination do not allow them to
subscribe even to weekly Washington paper
during the whole year, have determined to is
sue during each session Of Congress, a weekly
sheet styled I" The CoNGREssIoNAL MTELLIGEN-
GER, to be devoted exclusively TO the publication,
as far as its limits will permit OF the Proceedings
of both Houses Of Congress, and Official Reports
complete e6icial copy Of all cts passed BY Congress d,
ring the session. l 8j5a 3f.Ef84gs tRGIE
To bring the price within the means Of every
man who can read, the charge for this paper will
be for the first session of each Congress One Doll
lar, and for the second session Of each Congress
half Dollar. 5ats,t.f'y
The price Of the CoNGREssIoNAL MTELLIGEN-
GER, to be issued on each Wednesday during the
approaching Session of Congress, will therefore be
One Dollar paid in advance.
To enlarge upon the value, to those who take
no newspaper from Washington, Of this publca-
tion containing impartial but necessarily abbre-
waited account Of the Proceedings in Congress, in
cluding an authentic official copy Of all the laws
passed during the session, would be needless The
man who takes no such paper ought to take one, if
he does not prefer remaining ignorant of what
most nearly concerns his own destiny, and that Of
his family and of his posterity for ever
When six copies are ordered and paid for
by any one person, deduction Of one-sixth will
be made from the price, that is to say, remittance
of Five Dollars will command six copies Of the
Congressional Intelligencer for the next Session
A remittance Of Ten Dollars will secure thirteen
copies; and for Fifteen Dollars RENTED from ary
one person or place twenty copies will be for
