Johnson supposed it to denote something
that begun and ended the same day; and
that has been the general acceptation up
to this discovery of the Union. Recently
a writer, of analogous taste and felicity OF
expression, spoke of "cNhausting an in
terminable" topic. After the Union has
established and illustrated the propriety Of
its use of the word epAemerai, we trust il
will explain the process named by the
writer alluded to.

The logic Of the Union is only eqnalIed
by its classical taste and the elegance and
precision of its diction. II rarely attempts
piece Of reasoning without making the
argument cut its own throat, and never
essays a witticism with committing sole
cism calculated 10 provoke derision in the
mind of The most indulgent reader. It is
alike unapproachablc in dialectics and
belles-lettres. Yesterdays paper furnishes
rich specimen both in logic and rheto-
ric. After transferring an act Of the
Cabinet as a "paltry, discreditable" trick
thereby, when considered in connexion
with its habitual abuse and disparagement
Of the Administration, clearly implying
that the gentlemen composing General
TAYLoR's political family are shabby
set, incapable Of honorable and magnani-
nous conduct--it winds up thus: /" High
minded statesmen should be above such
paltry stratagems. No man with edu-
cation enough TO read and understand any
one of Noah Webster's tables requires to be
told that these propositions are inconsist-
emf and contradictory, and that the writer

them together.

versing with Mr.. Stephens. He Immediately
rushed down the steps to the lower deck, and was
about TO leap from the bow into the water, when
he saw others jump in, who were passed over by
the boat, then under Roadway. The fate OF these
sufferers warned him TO desst until the boat reached
the bank, when he leaped ashore. One lady, deck
passenger, was consumed. having been deserted by
her husband. She kneelng in the atti-

Public Printing.

The press is beginning to speak out bold
ly and distinctly upon the manner in which
the printing Of Congress is now done-or
rather not done, We are glad to see this,
and sincerely hope that this great public
wrong will be made the subject of gene
raj and discriminating animadversion. The
chief object of publishing the Executive
documents is defeated by the inexcusable
and unparalleled delay. These documents
are indispensable TO intelligent legislation;
neither house Of Congress can act under
standingly on the subjects to which they
relate, without the information to be found
in them, and not elsewhere. And yet
they are not forthcoming, and nobody can
tell when they will be. a writer in a
New York paper says the "printing
of Congress is shamefully behind; il is
really scandalops job; we are in the fourth
month Of the session; All immense number
of papers and documents have been handed
over to contractors, Sc, TO be printed,
and no one can see either the manuscript
or the copy; IL parties were hired 10 delay
and nullify all useful Legislation, they could
not act more efficiently for the attainment
of that object"
Por this state Of things, it is contended
in Congress, nobody is to blame--nobody
is responsible; and we were grossly as
/
sailed in the Senate, merely for calling
attention to its existence.
We differ entirely with those who think
that nobody is responsible for this delay
and when the people get TO understand il
in all its bearings and consequences, it can
hardly be doubted that they will hold
somebody TO a strict accountability for it..
