Country Paners.

A great many people in this country sup.
pose that nothing in a newspaper is worth
reading, unless it be found In some great
city paper. such as the New Fosk Tribune,
National Era, New York Post or some pa
per of that kind. They think that nothing
can originate in an editors brain, unless hs
lives in some large city. We have a different
view about these things altogether. How
ever dull our editorial columns may be-
(Which is seldom the case we always turn
to the editorial columns of our county ex-
changes, when we wish to find something
spicy, bold and 10 the purpose. The edi-
tor of tae "Cotton Plant" an excellent pa
per published in Baltimore, thus treats this
subject, and we recommend it to the careful
attention of all classes of readers, and VIC
hope they may profit thereby: +.
We are ware that we are bringing down
upon the "Cotton Plant" the wrath and
perhaps the sneers of many a dingnifed
and 'long and established city Journal,
when we say, that we consider, the Country
PRESS" the Journals usually known as
"county papers" by far the most useful,
fearless and intelligent portion of the press
of the country. There is IA freshness of style
"a variety-a f~rankneess, an honesty,
boldness and .iberality in a country paper
which you look for in vain in the majority OF
the city press. How rarely do you see them
flching the thoughts and labor Of others
They do not fear that their readers may
know the existence of anothel paper, deemed
by them, clever enough to quote. No, they
come up handsomely to the mark and give
you "full credit" Notice how country pres
seslay on right and left upon abuses. There
is to d~odging-nG ~striking--no weak strug-
gle between duty and desire to please some
wealthy patron.
See how they come, out, (on one side or
the other when occasion demands it. The
country press is always AHEAD of the city
press on all National subjects. The city
Journals watch them, too. The country
papers being nearer the people, reflect the
National mind, when 10! the independent
mammoth sheets from Boston to New Or
leans come to take wind out of their sails.
We have been often struck, with the ex-
IRENE delicacy of expression, beauty OF style,
and often sublimity in a paper, not larger
than your hand, and which comes 10 us
covered with tie dust Of a long journey
Some of the most pleasant essays we lave
ever read have been in country papers in
comparison with which, the pompous, YER
bose style of some city papers is simply ri
diculous. We cannot recommend an easier
way for a man to make his fame and fortune
than TO make a collection OF essays from
country papers and publish them as sach.-

tons in the Cotton Plant" taken from

An Extensiva Consniranu

Rev. l.. sNITH, OF tie Mansfield (O.1
Statesman, has evidence that 1he Brother
ho0d VI Thieves, the exis,anee Of which was
proven on a recent trial for burglary, Lake
rounty, D., extends over every Stale in the
Union. According v The P~tHindealer, Mr..
Smith says:
awe are aware Of the existence Of said
society, By the confession Of one offs mem
bers who had too much conscience fer such
a brotherhood. lie stated that they we're
banded together for robbery, theft, counter
leiung and murder, and to protect each
other IRON the fangs Of the law. by being
witnesses Tor each other, aud getting on iu-
ries when they could. Death, he said, was
the penalty OF any betrayal of their secrets
or plaus, or Of any of the brotherhood, or of
any iaidelIIy to their secret obligations.
Ile further states that this society is ex-
tended TO every State in the Union-has
branches aud high officers in all the States
that ITS members were Numerous and re-
spectacle, many of them Occupying impor-
tdnt stations, and havinga wide Influence;
some are members Of churches and church
officers, and attend to the forms Of religion.
such as asking a blessing at the table and
attending 10 family worship. These state
ments were in confidence, under circum-
stances calculated to leave little or no
doubt Of their truth. The name of this
hnmble penitent conlessor dare not be given,
as lie would certainly be put to death if his
confession should CONT to the knowledge of
the brotherhood.
There can he no doubt Of the existence
Of this society, and II is a fearful state of
things, and shows to what use secrecy can
be put. To have secret oath bound and
banded robbers, thieves and murderers
mixed up with the community, and entering
into our families, and spying out all our
precious things, and at the same time pray
ms with lis, and going TO the sacred com
munion, IS truly ahorrible state OF society.
Butts So it is: We know not; the danger to
which this alarm may expose us, but the
community ought to be app riSed of these
things, and VIC have concluded to sound out
Tue alarel.
A simtial society was formed in Europe
IN l776, by Weisaupt Zwack and Kniggee,
which continued ten years aud was then
broken up by the discovery of their papers
III the hand writing of Zwack. They had
receipts for producing alteration, filing
rooms with supplying odors and divers like
heltish things, and scores of counterfeit
seals. We shall rejoice to hear of the de-
lection and ~disrlpuon of the one that has
made lis home with us.

The wings of this State were so badly
used up last fall, is perhaps the cause OF
their being such great no party men at this
time. But this no party movement on their
part is all sham. Mr.. Andrews is Il strong
whig, Of the old federal kind; and to make
his whiggery more pure, stumped a good
portion OF this State last fall for the iute la
mented wing leader, Gen. Winfield Scott,
Were Mr.. Andrews a Democrat, these same
whig papers that have his name placed at
their mast heads for this Office, would not
touch him with a ''forty foot pole." They
know full well chat they are wofully in the
minority in this State, and that they must
do something to "ralse The wind" and for
this purpose they have all, very suddenly,
became great no party men And to make
the matter still worse, they have made a
large number OF Teachers Institutes in this
State their dupes. Mr.. Andrews atteads all
OF their Institutes, and tells them that he is a
candidate for this office and would like to
receive their approval and support. Where
upon some strong whig among them, at the
~lnstigalion OF the Wing State Central Com
mIttee, jumps up and moves that Mr.. An

who says that he is a party man, and one
who is not ashamed to express his parry

And further we want a man to Gil that Of
