A Question OF Vcracity.

The following correspondence which we take

Not satisfied with resorting to every effort
which local and personal hostility can prompt
this gentleman has even decendrd to misrepre

acter Of the letters below.
Mr.. Campbell is certainly pursuing a yer,
strange course, for public man and Western

that his ideas Of public improvements, canno
extend beyond The corporate limits Of Gale

~- A letter TO the Springfield Re
publican shows up q nuisance, intolera
bic 20 every buyer of books which are
books, in the right manner. We give
most of it.
There is an evil under the sun that
wish to see abated. 1t is the practice
which has become SO common among
publishers, of making their books, almost
without exception, mediums Of adver-
tising. 1t is bad enough to have ones
door-bell rung three or four times day
by itinerant vcnders of soap, blacking,
almanacs, and pamphlet narratives of
horrible murders, who will insist on
your reading their notices and certif-
Gates. These you can kick out Of doors
if you choose. But to buy choice
work of some gifted author, which you
deem an article of permanent value for
your library or comfortable, and to find
on opening it that the Bungtown Sky
Scraper is to be enlarged on the first of
January, and issued at reduced price,
with great inducements to clubs ;" or
that Jones & jenkins arc closing off
their immense stock of goods at cost !;
with various other important announce
ments paraded in great type and on vari-
colored leaves, and worse than all, bound
into your book, is nuisance that tends
to violation of both human and divine
statutes.
l have Just opened the Wing Re-
view for December, which is embellished
on the first leaf with a striking and ex-
cellent engraved picture of Daniel Web
ster and on the last with staring ad-
vertisement ofa Broadway coat, vest and
pantaloons maker, followed by one or
two others of miscellaneous charactr
all printed upon the leaves of the
magazine, and stitched in before the
title page of the volume, from which
they cannot be removed without mutilat
ing the work.
If the public will generally refuse t
buy books got up in this style, the ev
will soon come to an end, and publisher
will speedily cease to violate good tast
and good nature in the manner describ
ed.

Bay The subject has been broached
Of having course of Lectures in the
place this winter. The Lyceum favored
us with some while it lived, and then the
Library Association took its place and
did well for season, but latterly it has
not made any of its works in that line
manifest. Now a course of Scientific
Lectures would not only be the means
of imparting much information to the
community, but would crafty and in
struct the youth, and at the same time
tend to keep them away from places
and associations which would be highly
detrimental tc them. We could not
ask that few citizens should furnish
