CONTRACTION ~ SIZE or ruE Chicago DAuy
PArKRs.-All the large sized papers-the
Journal, Press. Democrat and Tribune, are
talking seriously Of reducing their pages by
one column during the Winter. Advertis-
Ing is lighter than it would have been but
for the financial troubles, and the publish.
srs are not disposed to provide a larger
space for advertisers than they require. The
reduction Of size will not lessen the amour,
Of reading matter given to the public, while
1t will effect a large saving per week in the
article Of white paper-Chtcago Tribune.

70 take an offending man or woman
from the general crowd Of sinful, erring
beings and judge them harshly. The

Of the history Of mankind, teaches me
to look upon the errors of others in
sorrow, not anger. When l take the
history Of the poor heart that has sigh
cd and suffered, and represent to nv
self the struggles and temptations it
has passed, the brief pulsation of ioy,
the fevcrish inquictude of hope and
fear, the tears Of regret the feebIeness
Of purpose, the pressure Of want, the
desertion Of friends, the scorn of the
that has but little charity, the desola
ton Of the souls sanctuary, and the
threatening voice within; health gone
even hope, that stays longest with us
gone, have little heart for ought else

EFFECTS or ALBANY LEGISLATION FOR THE
Cry-We give elsewhere an erposf Of the plots
and plans of Weed, Matteson q Co, and their
confcderates in this city, to still further increase
our taxes and despol our city treasury. This
article proves beyond all cayil what we have
so often proved before, and what VIC desire to
impress upon the mind Of every voter to-day
that it is the Albany lobby alone which is re-
sponsible for the great increase in the taxation
of the city And further, IL will be well enough
to remember that If the regular democratic

such circumstances, is to record his negative

THE ADMINISTRATION REBUKED ny THE BRT-
fish AND FRENCH MISIsTERs.-We publish
among our telegraphic advices despatch from
Washington stating that the British and French
Ministers there have addressed to the Secretary
of State a remonstrance concerning the Walker
flibusters, and intimating that the escape of the
late mysterious Walker expedition may be at
tributed more or less TO the weakness or inefi-
cheney of our government. Our correspondent
also suggests that this insinuation should not be
lightly passed over by General Cas-, but that he
should demand its retraction or the recall
of the offending parties by the governments Of
England and France. We concur in this
opinion, and trust that 10 such imputations
