SUPPORT HOME PAPERS.

This voice is beginning to be reiterated
by the Western Press, and il should be
Needed by the Western people. Home
papers have done more for the West,
than can he calculated in dollars and
cents, and j, IS truly surprising, as it is
ungrateful, that so great a number OF
Western people prefer 10 patronize DIS
tani newspaper, TO the exclusion of one
published heat home. Distant cheap
newspapers, generally, are Of little inuin-
sic value, aud as a means of advocating
our local interests, they are no use
whatever. Why then should they be re-
garded with tha, favor hich belongs only
to those which are really and in'rinsically
usefuls It IS extremely difficult to find
an excuse for those who presist year af
ter year to patronize distant newspapers,
in preference 10 those who are ever ready
to advocate and promote their local and
individual interests. OF course such
persons claim The right Of doing as they
please, without regard 10 circumstances; !;
they very often do wrong. 1t appears TO
us, mete gratitude for services rendered,
apart from any other indicating motives,
should induce Western people TO patron
ize Western papets. Here newspapers
do everything for the people.
Is grsnt Of land to be petiiioned for
from the government, who are the ablesi
advocates Of the petitioners? Who pre-
serve SO long and so trenuously in urging
the claims Of the state and Of the people
to the consideration and respect Of Con-
gress? The newspapers, the humble
newspapers. Are they paid for this?
Not one cent.

Louis Napoleon has by this time no
doubt consummated The threatened abol-
isbment Of The "Masonic Lodges in
France as places where suspicion and
fear, those ranking ,horns Of tyranis,
can see lurking some Of the unex,in-
gulshed sparks Of freedom. Thus he
will 60 on, from one extremity TO ano--
,her, ill he suspects everybody's hands
raised against him, creating, by bis own
apprehensions, the very danger that will
eventually consume him. Tyrants are
their own worst enemies, and Louis Ma
poleon, in drawing the cords too tight,
will thus strasgle himself in the moose
that he has lied for others. Happy ln-
fatuation for the masses Of mankind

may have been advantageous 10 others?
The newspapers do this. And are they
not paid for ,his?-no; they are not.
Sometimes they may be thanked, bu,
just as frequently blamed for their servi-
ces; but as for being paid, no one thinks
Of such an ac! Of justice. 'a
There are thousand other services
which newspapers render the community,
which need not be ennm"fa,ed, as no
reader can be ignorant Of the fact that
they are on all subjects the exponents Of
public opiuicn, and for all useful objects
they are the advocates Of the qualification
of the popular desire. Nor are they less
useful in the reprobation Of vice than
they are able in the cause Of human hap.
piness. What is that the offender breads
more than the scaihing rebuke Of the
press? nothing. Neither the pulpit nor
the lar can make him equal, as can the
humblest country newspaper.
In the cause of moraliiy--in the advo-
cacy Of human rights-in spreading
abroad for the information for the people,
new facts in science aud in arts-in
bringing together knowledge Of passing
events from all the nations, tribes aud
people ofthe world-wba, so industrious,
what so Influential, what so useful as
newspaper? Every paper is an sncyclo-
pHdia of knowledge, and ouch knowl.
edge, TOO, as may be sought for in vain
elsewhere.
As 10 lis cost, what is il! Less fora year
than a single "ireat all around" Of % few
cigars. Less than any ore of the luxu-
ries which with most people have become
indispensable with their daily fare.
With all these advantages which can
be purchased so cheaply, why is it that
as largo number Of human beings re.
fuse TO avail themselves Of newspaper?
We may be able to accoun, Cor some in.
termediaie motives which actuate them,
but we cannot account fct the primary
cause. Who will enlighten US on the
subject? Ofcourse no one can, except
he who refuses TO take paper Jones

INFLUENCE OF ACCIDENT ON GREAT
MEN.-lt is a curious coincidence that
The two greatest Chancery Lawyers Of
their day should both have been forced
into the profession by incidental circum.
stances. Romily says that what prlnci-
pally Influenced his decision was, the
being, thus enabled to leave his small
fortune in his fathers hands, instead Of
buying a sworn clerks seat with il. Al

sanguine dreams had never painted TO

reflected how all that prosperity had
arisen ont Of the peccniary difficulties
and confined circumstances Of my father.

refused, and left the Scotch for the Eng.

ruin, turned out the best thing that could
happen 10 him: saa

WAYS true, then, that men destined TO
play conspicuous parts in the world have
a consciousness Of their coming great

hopes grow as their capacity expands

HE DIPLoMATIsTs AT WAsHINGToN.-It is
stated that the whole diplomatic corps at WASH
ington city takes part with the Compile de Sarti
ges in the quarrel about etiquette with Mr.. Bar
ney. letter from Washington says that Mr.
Barney enclosed to each of the foreign ministers
copy Of his letter against M. de Sartiges, and
they made a common cause of it by returning all
the copies under the same envelope. This act
gives more solemnity than it deserves to an insig-
nificant matter, wherein the French Minister has
acted like very silly, underlined man, and they
will only share the ridicule by giving him any
encouragement. The laws are sufficient protec-
ton to his rights a foreign minister, and the
Government will doubtless enforce them ALL
while it cannot but feel some slight contem pit for
their protege The other members of the dipo-
matte corps must share in the ridicule, although
an esprit du corps has permitted them to give him
some countenance. 1t would have been wiser to
keep out of the affair entirely. Any one of
them might send back Mr.. Barney's episte, and
thus take his individual share in the business
without so much absurdity, but to hold conferen-
ces among the representatives of all the crowned
