VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.

Sir John Herschel says Of all the 0muse>
ments which can possibly be imagined for
a hsrd-wOrking man, after his daily tolls,
or it's intervals, there is nothing like read
ing an entertaining newspaper. 1t calls
for no bodily exertions, OF which he has
had enough or too much. It relieves his
home Of its dulInesS and sameness, which
in nine cases out of len, is what drives him
out 10 the ale-house, TO his own ruin and
his familys. 1t transports him into lave
Iier, and gayer, and more diversified and
interesting scene-and while he enjoys
himself there, he may forget the evils Of
the present moment, fully as much aS if
he was ever so drunk, with The great I'D.
Vantnge Of finding himself next day with his
money in his pocket, OF at least laid out ia
real necessarieS and comforts for himself
and his family, and without headache.-
Nay, it accompanies him TO bis next days
work, and if the paper he has been reading
be anything above the very iIesG and
slightest, gives him something 10 think Of
besides the mechanical drudgery Of his eve

The COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
MIR. ALLEN AND Mr.. CALHOUN. Some
Of The wing papers are just now exceeding
y complimentary 10 Mr.. Calhoun, and par.
Iicularly savage on Mr.. Allen Of Ohio, who
has been placed by the votes of the senate
at The head Of the committee on Foreign
Relations. 1t is very gratifying TO read
their praise Of one eminent democrat, but
we can perceive no reason for their abuse
OF the other. Mr.. Allen 10, comparatively,
a young man, but he iO gifted with rare
eAdOwments, has much political experience
and possesses a purity Of character above
reProach. The very position in which he
has just been placed by the voice Of men
older than himself, at q time when consu.
mate talent, address, energy and fifmness
are required from the chairman of that COM
mItlee, is the best evidence Of the high rep
u!aIiOn he enjoys in the Senate; and would
seem TO be enough to disarm even party
spirit Of its foreciIy.
But the appointment Of Mr.. Allen is
no disparsgement to Mr.. Calhoun. 1t iS
merely an evidence that the majority IN the
Senate are resolved to sustain The recon-
mendatiOns Of the President 9th regard to

Polk. 1t Yves intended TO be an endorse
ment Of the message, and to show the deter
minatiOn Of the Senate to assert our title
and occupy our territory, without farther
negotiation. There was a ProPriety also
in placing a Western man at the head Of
that committee. The Oregon question, il
is true effects che whole Union, but il has
been pressed iatO it's present attitude by the
enthusiasm and patriotism and national
pride Of the West. Years ago John Floyd

impetus 10 the public sentiment which we
now see reflected in the message of wes-
Tern President. And the men ofthe West,
dsfying distance, PriVatiOn, hunger, the saw
age and the British authorities alike, and
cOniding in their own rifles, and the win

4 Western man should have been placed
