Some of the interior press are anxious to

among the number is the Marysville Fnpyess
1t s matter Of regret that editors can be-
come so paptizan in their feelings as to mis-
represent the people, aud villify their actions
departing thereby from all principles, to ad
gocate men. 1t is such presses which do the
great Democratic party injury.

AN ANCIENT HuMRua--We find
The following extract 10 RpdoiF &
Register, published in London, 1870,
in reference to Professor Wolfe, who
as he never did, what he promised
the people Of his age, he would do .
we may very safely pronounce hum
bug
Professor Wolfe, of Petersburg, has
invented Az universal language. dest'
tute Of words, that immediately ex-
presses the ideas, and fills the imagi
nation with images and perceptions.
Il does not take up fifth Of the
space Of any known language. and can
easily be taught in any country were
there are Jews, Turks, or Christians,
or where the Bible or the Koran is
read.
Il is not unpleasant to The ear has
no Irregularities, no deolensions, and
only one extremely simple conluga-
ton, Proper names Of persons and
places may be accurately expressed
by it, without the help Of words Or
letters, and it may be commonly read
from left to right, or from right 70
left at pleasure.
The German Journal that mentions
this interesting discovery has raised
the curiosity Of all the Philologsts 10
Europe.
The same paper in another place
says:
Professor Wolfe, whose new univer-
sal graphical language, destitute Of
,eords or letters, has made 50 much
noise in the Literary World, being
unable to procure necessary types At
Petersburg, has sent orders TO Ger
many to have them cast according to
his directions. They are now actually
cutting punches, matrices, &c, at
famous letter foundry in Leipsic, and
a small specimen of this dialogue Of
nations is to be given by the inventor
in his History of the World aud Of
Mankind"

RoBBrxa EatoRAsrs At RAILROAD
SrArroNs.-A system for the robbery
of emigrants starting for the West, is
said 10 be extensively practiced in the
vicinity Of the Hudson River Road
Emigrant ticket Office, in West street.
A short time prior to The departure OF
the emigrant trains, q gang Of thieves
and runners gather about the office
and cars. While pretending to assist
the emigrants, they manage in every
possible way to fleece them, even to
picking their pockets. While this i
going on, others Of lbe gang rifle the
baggage and trunks Of the emigrants.
This is said to be done in daylight
with police officers about.
