Der lecha patriot. (Allentaun, Pa.) 1848-1859, 1849-12-06

CE3-We have been favored with "Godey's
Lady's Book" for January, 1850, politely sent to
us for examination, in advance of the day of
publication. 1t is really and truly magnificent
specimen, and cannot but give the new volume
an impulse calculated to render the edition for
the coming year, much larger than any ofits
predecessors. The embellishments are truly
superb-worth far more in our judgment, than
the price of the number. The leading engra-
wing is entitled-"The Introduction of Christi
anity into Britain" and it is at once impressive,
touching and beautiful. The "Flight of Time"
is characterized by great spirit and effect. The
"Juvenile Fancy Dress Party" is charming
Cooley has evidently exerted himself to the ut
most, and the result is quite triumph. The
contributors embrace the names of several of
our best writer's.

The contractor at the Portage has COM
meuced operations with large force and
intends, we understand, to have the canal
completed this fall. At Depere, the work
was commenced on the east side of the riv-
er on Monday last, and will probably be
finished for early navigation next season.
The dam is to be raised some two feet. AT
the Rapide de Croche, large preparations
have been made for putting in the dam, &C.,
but the illness of the contractor has caused
delay. The work, however, will not be al
lowed to lInger.
With the additional means now secured
by the selections just made 10y The Governor,
the whole work can be put under contract
Immediately, and We Iook Tor ietbmpietion
of the route from Green Bay to the Missis-
sippi 10y the close of the ensuing year.
Preparations are rapidly making to supply
the line with boats, among which we notice
several new steamboats, On the Wisconsin,
besides several on the stocks. A steamboat
aud several schooners are plying on Lake
Winnebago, and another steamboat is to be
built soon. On this end of the route, the
navigation will as yet admit of nothing Iarg-
er than Durham boats of which some fine
ones have been put on the river this spring
by c. r. Tyler Green Fay .4drocate.

Mons. VATTEMARE has originated very
praiseworthy offering to he made TO the city
of Paris, by the American newspaper press.
He proposes that the publishers Of all jour
nails in the United States, shalt send copy
of their paper published on the 4th of July,
lS49, to the Boston Daily Bee, to he presen-
ted to the city Of Paris and filed in rhe
American Library, now forming in that city.
A copy of each semi-weekly and weekly
which may be issued during the first week
in July. is also requested. Every publisher
oughtio comply with this request; and if
copies of all ths journals are obtained, it
will constitute very rare colection-vau-
able in aftertimes, but equally valuable now,
as exhibiting the immense amount of read
ing matter, good and bad, daily issuing from
the American press. The French literati
cannot be otherwise than astonished at the
immense number, as well as the size and
patronage of the newspaper presses of this
country. -St. Louis Req.
The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1849-07-19

LONG AND SHORT ARTICLEs.-A long
newspaper article, like Z" great books is
"great evil" They are, less apt TO be read;
and if perused at all, great part of their
effect is necessarily lost, if the beginning is
lost before the end is reached. Short arti-
Iclos. on the contrary, as they are most easily
read and remembered, are mos, likely to he
useful. Virgii's good old maxim in agri-
culture, is equally applicable ia writing for
the public. I" Admire" says he, sIarge
farms, cultivate small ones" Many SUBJ
jects cannot justly he treated with brevity.
But such are not suitable TO the columns of
a newspaper-they should be discussed in
the monthles or qnarterlies, or in books. a
newspaper article or paragraph Obey should
be nearly synonymous) should be brief, ard
to the point. Ii is great art to say, either
verbally or in print, just what one has to
say, and no more-Gnd to stop ,chen you
hare finished.

| Appears TO be taking deep root i'm the Stree

somewhat dampened by his signal defeat,

Of the garments Of the 'sFather of the SEN

ions, compiled by the Peru Telegraph, one
of the strongest advocates of the old Buifa-

Benton, in his great speech, is unmerci-
fully severe on Calhoun, and the South
Carolina tribe of California tribe of politi-
claus. He will either be elected Senator
from Missouri, or be the next President of
the United States Tiff, (O) .adracate.

The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, allu-
ding to Senator Bentou's speech, of which
a Geographic synopsis only had been re-
ceived, says that it will have great influence
throughout the country. dts most certain
effect, in our opinion, will he to make its
author the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in 1852. Not, we presume to
say, with the consent of Father Richie. or

% DR.. Franklin observing that some
flies drowned i'm wine were revived by being
laid in the sun, thought that it would be a
FOOD thing to be placed, with a few friends,
in butt of Madeira and taken out at the
end of hundred years, and. treated as the
flies were, that he and his friends might OBJ
serve the progress Of science, and of the
country to whose advancement he has so
much contributed. The hundred years have
not yet passed away; but if the philosopher
could now return, what would be his sensa-
tions at seeing his name upon every thing,
from an oyster cellar to an insurance office,
and the maXims of his alu,anacs developed
in the character Of the nation from Maine
further-much furlher-,han Georgia.
What would he say to his own Poor Rich
ard OF 1888, in the reprint Of our friend
Marsball, of Chestnut street, which he could
with difficulty distinguish from the original
of his own press &c at the New Printing Of
fee near the Market!" Certainly, he would
not have it to say that Republics are un-
GRATEFUL. Looking at this reprint of pub
fication, of which every one has heard, hut
which few Of the present generation have
seen, we have often wondered why the
course which Mr.. Marshall proposes to
take-to reprint the series from 1739 to 1853,
has not before been adopted, in this city par
ticularly. We have observed somew here

the series with smproremenfs' and g en-

Indian Poetry.

The principal chief of the Town Indians,
No HEART TO FEAR, recently attended re-
ligious convention in Pittsburg, and, in the
course of speech, remarked:
50 Brothers, know your ways are superior
to our ways. Your roads are widely our
railroads draw long trains--and your rivers
are wide roads, The Indians Walk in a
narro,c path: but when our children are in
structed, we will improve.
" Brothers, the whites are very strong
nothing interrupts their sight or their hear
ing. They go down into the ground, and
they see glass with which to make windows,
the iron and coal to burn-but the indians
pass opes the ground like SHADOWS, and see
nothing below. / wish you to think Of these
things, and pity my people,"
The philosophy of fixed residences was
never more briefly or beautifully elucidated
than in the following paragraph:
"Brothers, / would be glad if the Indians
lcould get strong hold of the ground-7as
you have. You have big houses, and which
are hard to move. These must he gift of
the Great Spirit, who must have told the
whites how to build them. Our lodges are
of bark aud skins, are blown down by the
