HOW to Sustain whig Papers.

The Louisville Chronicle knows how this

see i. tried 10 its fules, extent, within the
next four years:
"Tho leading and influential Wings Of

50 around amongst the people and urge and
impress upon them tho duty Of taking Q
Whig paper. If they do not fully succeed
upon one trial in getting up list, they
should Try again and again, until they dt
succeed. This is The way 10 do il. They
should no, pu. it upon The poor and uninau
enlial TO do this.
"The leaders should do it. Il is ,heil
duty &c do il. When the rewards and hon

We have jus, finished reading "Cabin and
Parlor," a new novel. by J. thornton Ran.
dolph. No one who has read "Uncle Toms
Cabin" should fail to read this book. Il is
the fairest hi, yet made At Mra. Stoves
work. While the author is thoroughly &C.
quain.ed with the practical workings Of me-.
gro slavery in tho South, and does no. at.
tempt to conceal the evils Of that system, he
evidently understands something of tho dis.
IincIions IN society in The Northern States,
as we'll as in Europe. The characters In
this work are lIIe.like, and the incidents are
occasionally thrilling. The interest in
creases as the reader progresses. We think
the book is calculated to accomplish great
good, in this age Of misguided philanthropy.
We hope I. may have an extensive circula.
lion among Freesoilers.
One Of the best representations Of modern
philanthropy we have yet seen, described an
individual looking through an immense tel.
escoPe, and signing piteously a. the wretch.
ed condition Of the inhabitants Of distant
realms, while all around him lay miserable
creatures dying Of hunger. Underneath
was inscribed, "Thou hypOcritel FIRST cast
the beam out Of thine own eye," &c.
If Northern philanthropisis could be led
to sec more clearly the slavery which ex.
lists at their own doors, and, in fact, wher.
ever poverty exists, they might, perhaps, ex-
hibit little more charity for their slave.

and apply the liquid again. If any of,hem
