The Printing Press.


The Printing Press, thero is q mighty power,
In the flap OF its iron wing
II finds its way 20 the PEASANTS bower,
And the palace Of the king;
1t scatters the germs Of death or life,
Like dew-drops over the land;
And soothes 10 peace or wakes TO strife,
As with talismanic wand.
What glorious things achieved has been
BY free and fearless Press
Telling earth's crushed ones how and when
For their wrongs TO seek redress
Rich treasures from mines Of mystic lore.
'Mong the nations hath IL spread
And toombs OF science sealed Of yore,
To the millions open made
Then ho for q Free unshackled Press,
With its thunderbolts TO bear
On the bulwarks of unrighteousness,
And oppression everywhere.
Till men shall freely fraternize,
And hallowed offerings bring
To welcome from the upper skies,
Their everlasting King,

This remedy has won for itself such notoriety for
it's cures Of every variety Of Pulmonary disease that
it entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences Of
its virtues in any community where it has been en-
poyed. SO wide is the field of its usefulness, and
numerous the cases of its cures that almost every
section of the country abounds in persons publicly
KNOWN who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases Of the lungs by ts When
tried its superiority over every other medicine
Of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and
where its virtues known the public no longer hes
itate what antdote to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections Of the pulmonary organs which
are incident to climate. And not only in ormid-
able attacks upon the lungs but for the mder vare-
ties of Colds, Coughs Hoarseness &C. and for child
rem it is the pleasantcst and safest medicine that
be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout this
section, we need not do than assure the people
its quality is kept up to the best that ever has been,
and that the genuine article is sold by

Gold.

The following by Tom Hood, is one Of the most
remarkable stanzas in the language:
Gold gold gold gold
Bright and yellow, hard and cold,
Molten, craven, hammered, rolled,
Heavy to get, and light to hold, g,.
Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold,
Stolen, borrowed squandered, doled
Spurned by the young but Rugged by the old,
To the very verge Of the churchyard mould:
Price OF many crime untold;
Gold! gold gold gold
Good or bad, a thousand fold,
How widely its agencies vary;
To save, TO ruin to curse, to bless,
AS even its minted coin express
Now stamped with the image OF Good Queen Beas,
And now of Bloody Mary.

Sectnrianism run Mad.

We had made up our mind that there was but
one journal in this city, that was sufficiently Satanic
TO seek to turn the present distress among the
working people to account, in stimulating the
scnseless outcry current at Park and Hope Chapel
gatherings about "Aristocracy," Upper Ten
dom. p "the Fifth Avenue" and the like--but we
nro mistaken. The Freemans Journal, profess
edly religious paper, and the officially accredited
organ ofthc Roman Catholic Diocese ofNew York,
Joins hands with the other Satanic, in It's dirty
work The active cxertions Professionals are maxi
ing, night and day. in this city, to I'LL the hungry
stomachs of this very class of persons, fourhhs OF
whom arc of the Roman Catholic persuasion, are
rewarded with such sneers as these:
We alude at the present to the wide spread
organizations known as the Young Mems Asso-
cations the Young Peoples Christian Associ-
ations.' TO whom Sabbath evening Lectures are
delivered in the most costly and respectable
uptown meeting houses. Some Of these courses
have now reached the twelfth, and others the four
teenth lecture, in the Fifth avenue churches, and
in Lafayette place, &c. Such are the means py
which the zeal Of the better classes is directed to
the field Of labor which the Humanitarians are
earnestly opening cut in every quarter OF New
York and it is not at all unlikely that the lectures
TO the juveniles and sentimental ladies OF upper
tendon increase the eectarian, as well as the pecr-
mary funds Of those societies for the benefit OF the
: lower classes"
If it were not Tor the benevOlcnce OF Lafayette
Place." &C., wonder what would become just now
OF Cross street. Centre street. and the Five Points,
1t is stated on good authority, that in the Sixth
ward alone--the great Irish ward of the ciy-there
are no fewer than nine thousand persons depend
ent upon public and private benevolence for their
daily bread 1t isfurher stated that Of this mighty
army of mendicants, there is not one American.
We should like to know one thing more OF them,
NOW that the journal has drawn the scctarian line,
how many are Roman Catholics f-how many Pro-
testants?
Becoming oracle of a Christian Church!-in-
deed, at a time like this, and under such crcum-
stances as these, to be thus arraigning the mo-
tives of the noble-hearted men and women among
us, who are working night and day to find food
and clothing for the poor, without reference to
creed or persuasion. The Roman Catholic poor
are the largest recipients Of the good these social
ed sentimental ladies of upper tendon are do
ing. Ifthis journal, and those who think with it,
would but turn in and lend them helping hand in
stead of indngng such il-timcd impertinences as
those quoted above, we should probably be called
upon to feed fewer paupers in the Alms-house-
and not SO often TO rebuke the silly nonsense about
the aristocracy," and all that-N. Y. Erpre"
