having particularly in view the concerns and inter
ests of this country So far its pages have been replee
with valuable information, indicating great labor and
research the part of its learned and interchangeable editor
in collecting, arranging, and preparing the materials
for his pages 1t is designed TO fill the same place in
American periodical literature which the celebrated An.
nual Register occupies in that of England The col
lection and preparation Of The materials for the work
involve not only large amount Of labor, but much
expense and we doubt much whether, in the present
state Of the country, the enerprising and able protector
and conductor Of the work will reap that reward for his
labors from voluntary support which they most emf.
nently deserve But the public authorities both State
and NATIONAL could doubt not insure the permanent
publication Of the work, by liberal subscription for
the various public Offices and Libraries connected with
the State and national governments. II is work which
should be in the archives Of every Sate and would be
great convenience in every public Office, and we trust
that may find its way there We commend it also to
the public Libraries OF the country as work worthy of
general patronage and support II could be continued

BUSINESS FALSEHOODS.

We heard two men dispniing the
other day, one o. whom stoutIv main
tanned that it was impossible for man
in business to get along without re.
sorting to humbug and misreprcscn.
tation. il not to downright faIsehnod
Such bold assertion. by one who
might be supposed to know something
Of the characters OF business men
generally, rather startled US at first;
but after some reflection. VIC conclud.
ed that he was speaking of class Of
business men. of which he was prob.
ably the head and the front. and not
of the multitude of business men, who
in a great city like this. are crowded
in every street and avenue. We also
thought it probable, that his sweeping
condemnation was the result of
somewhat thorough examination of
his own conscience. and that he had
rcsortcd to denunciation and caInmnv.
in order to retain good opinion of
himself, and in extenuaton of his own
misdeeds and impositions upon the
credulous.
But whether right or wrong in our
speculations in this case, we have
generally found it to be fact. that
those who are the rcadest 10 suspect.
to anticipate, and to condemn the pro.
LESSONS and the deeds of others, are
usually men whose professions and
deeds are the least to be relied on for
their truth or honesty. In free bu.
slness community. every man must
be permitted TO pursue independently
his own course, so long as that course
is kept within the pale Of public jus.
tice. and within those limits which
law and morality have prescribed for
the protection ofprivatc rights. Com.
petition, it must be rccolIectcd, can
never be restrained by wholesale
system OF caIumny, for he who resorts
to it to-day to impede the advances
of his neighbor, may be made 10 feel
the bitter effects Of it tomorrow; and
the more bitter will those effects be
from the consciousness. that, if there
is any apology under heaven for de-
traction, it is for that species Of it
which is used in self defence.

MORE ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS
MANIFESTATIONS. > For several weeks
there have been no communications in
the Times in reference TO the 'mvstc,
rious noises which not n.aav moons
ago caused something of a stir in the
city. People now say done with
blown over'-'burs; up'-'gone by
the board
Not so. We have more evidence
TO convince us that they are spreading
and becoming Of increased Importance
than did the jury which convicted DIR.
Webster, that he was guilty of the
crime charged. The 'mvstcrious
noises are now heard in many FAM.
lies in this city. who keep the mntter.
sacredIy secret, lest the cossipping
public may say they live in haunted
houses
But a few Of these manifestations
have been communicative, and such
communications as have been received
cannot yet be given to the pubic-alI
in due season.
1t may not be improper to state,
however, that within a couple of
weeks numerous manifestations have
been made by persons of note in the
world, some years deceased. Among
them We may mention Morgan. about
whose death was created. many years
ago, the wild Anti. Mason excitement.
which agi,ated the country from
Maine to Florida.
Morgan, by raps. stated to circle
that he joined the Free Masons for
selfish purpose--that he made his
expose for speculation, and tina, he
published more lies than ulhs--,hat
he had been the cause of much harm
in the world. and that he was now
endeavoring to do what good he could
by removing wrong impressions.
This communication was addressed
to a prominent Free Mason who had
sought, by clairvoyance. to investigate
the Morgan affair. In due time he
will make the detail public.
Communications in addition TO this
have been received by individuals
from their deceased friends. and also,
as in Rochester, from DR.. Franklin.
and others of importance in the last
generation. A part of these CONS
munications will be detailed in the
pamphlet we are preparng-others
cannot be made known. In the course
of few weeks the results of investi
cations may be announced which viii!
come in such shape as may stagger
sneering skeptics. Until such time
let Jealous bigots fight" and the be-
levers of humbug' suffer sncers and
scoffs.-Cin. Times.
