Twenty-Five millions of eollars-tha1
Of the West is ninetysix millions Of

than double that in the West. The
West,with ninety-six millions Of prop
er'y, ask from us the right to manage,
control and administer two hundred
and twen.y-nine millions at their plea
sure, without any check or Limitation.
With Gfy-three Thousand slaves, they
demand a surrender of all power to
control thee hundred and ninety-iye
thousand. They bring these proper
tons of wealth into a common fund
with us, and by their bill, claim the
entire management, taxation and APP
preparation of the whole. There are
still other views. qs. s-sr .a.
The total revenue taxes Of the State
are 500, S07 dollars, of which the East
pays 426,49 dollars, and the West
pays l02,4l2 dollars. OF every hun

ry, the East pays seventy and the West
pays thirty! And they who pay ,hir-
ty dollars against seventy, claim the

The demorazing effect of an indiscriminate and
excessive reading of Novels has long been com
mented on by the friends of morality 1t perverts
all good taste, and too often produces the morbid
state OF mental emotion which ends in infatuaton
and crime.
The following testimony of the father of the wo-
man who just now unhappily attracts SO much pub
lie attention, should not be disregarded by parents
daughters

his daughter was unhappy it was her own fault, for
ne knew MIR. Myers TO be kind, honorable and aft

grieitthat she was unhappy with Mr.. Myers
Maj Pollard said it was not true, and that if his
daughter was in an unhappy state OF mind, he at

as Eugene Sue and Bulwer. Neither he nor his
Fiamily treated Mrs. M. in any other way than in
