PAPERs.-To the poo,, the weekly news
paper is precious boon. They cannot af-
ford books and indeed, would have but
little time to read them. Blu. for the merest
.rife; hardly to be missed, whole family
may draw almost daily from an inexhaus.i-
BILE fund of reading. The father can discuss
the contents Of his newspaper at.the break
fas. table, with his wife aud children, and
60 forth to his labor supplied with material
for thought which cannot fail to make him
wiser and better, and elevate him in the scale
of humanity. ]. is an undenIable fac. .ha.
while the few read books, the many depend
entirely on the newspapers for intellectual
food. Surely every lover Of his country
would rather see the great body Of his fel-
low ci.izens in,elec,usl and viruous, than
degraded to the level Of The ignorant and at
jec. masses Of European population. Then
we say remove every restriction upon the
circulation ofnewspapers. The postage tax
is q restriction. Abolish it. lie! them be
scattered broadcast over the land, i. is safe
TO predict, that the rising generation Of A.
merica will prove the mos. enlightened race
OF men that the world ever saw.
