sWe believe shall be certain ofdoing service
to the people of the State, if we say word or two
upon the unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Language, by Noah Webster. The word
unabridged has been purposcly employed because
if such work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those of photography
thoepy--it cannot be too copous and comprehen-
sive When one is Ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of a word, he cannot endure 10 be
turned over to an abridgment that gives him
synonym, instead of definition; but he demands
TO know as much as anybody knows OF its history
etymology, and all its different shades of mean
ing. Then only can he employ it with confidence
and effect, mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect passion.

meas satisfies the wants of the inquirer and their
nice analysis and acumen crafty his taste and re-

TO THE PURIIC-


The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river They cover those mines
(partcularly the portion situated in Iinois) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference to the navigable
rivers and other cheap means of transportation of
their products to ST. Louis and arc in the midst OF
country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products Of the latitude in which they are located
