WHOLESOME TRUTHS WELL
STATED.

4 newspaper has become an essential IN
every family. The commercial man cannot
do without the regular reports of trade and
finance. The farmer and the tradesman
must keep up with the rise and fall Of the
markets. Every one is interested and pro-
fitted by keeping posted in the current news
of the day. As faithful chronicle of the
times, it furnishes information, daily passing
into history, essential to practical and pro-
ftable education in every family. These
general truths are now felt and acknowledge
ed by the great mass of the intelligent pub
lie. In view of which the following re-
marks, from the West Tennessee Wing, are
pertinent and forcible:
There are but few persons who properly
estimate the powerful influence of news
paper, for good or evil, in a family-its eff
fects are seen and felt in all the ramiications
of life. Take family Of children who have
been accustomed to read a vulgar, grovel-
ing, blackguard paper, and they are almost
sure to grow up strongly imbued with the
sentiments of the paper; their manner OF
meeting an argument or exposing an error
flows i'm the same channel. Vituperation
and personal epithets are the weapons they
use-keeping up an eternal strife within the
bounds of their location. Take, as an ex-
ample, Brownlow's paper in East Tennes-
see. For twenty-five years the editor has
kept society there in perfect fermentation.
The church there has not escaped its blight
ng influence.
We have been influenced in penning these
reflections from witnessing, in many of our
exchange papers, greater disposition than
ever, to indulge in personal epithets and
| blackguardism; and to point out, in our
Judgment, a remedy. Let the people, espe-
cially fathers whose children are to be intlu-
enced, more or less, by the Press of the coun-
try, resolve that they will withdraw their
patronage from every paper INDUCING IN
personalities of licentious character. An
editor that cannot defend truth and justice
and expose error and tyranny, IN at least
decent language had better throw up his
profession and go at something esle. If the
people would have good order in society and
| good government, let them preserve the
| dignity Of the press.

expected to be represented by Monday:
In the absence of Judge Cardozo Presi-
dent of the Board the Vice President, f.
Joseph, Esq, proceeded to occupy the chair,
and called the meeting to order. After
PRAYER. the Chairman briefly addressed the
assembled delegates, and in a few tellcltous
remarks welcomed the strangers to the city,
concentrating the Convention that the time
had come at length when lsraelites from all
sections of the country could meet and hold
friendly communion. Subsequent to the de-
livery of Mr.. Josephi's address, the ExecU-
tive Committee asked leave to present their
report
The volnminous document read for the
| benefit Of the assemblage, contained consld-
/ cradle information. From the report of the
| Executive Committee, it appeared that a
| sum Of $4,000 had been subscribed by
| American IsraeIites for the relief of the chol-
| era-stricken Jews of Palestine. OF this
/ amount Sl2q77 had been expended, bal
! ance of =. l23 remaining in the hands OF

Appropriated toward the building OF Jew
| ish almshouse in Jerusalem.
Adverting to the progress of the age, the
! Executive Committee alluded with pride to
/ the fact that The rights of Jewish cltl-
zens of Switzerland had been restored to
them. and called attention to the signlh-
cance of the news, setting forth that Tor
the first time in history, Christian Empe-
ror-the Emperor of Austria had made an
attack on his Jewish subjects the preteXt Tor
sending an army into an adjoining Kingdom.
| Having spoken Of the improved condition
of the Israelites Of Persia, the report pro-
! ceeded TO invite attention 10 the project put
forward by the French alliance, lsraellte-
| T-niversele, relative 10 the establishment OF
| Jewish free schools in the Orient, discussed
the expediency Of founding Jewish theo-
| logical seminary for the education Of candl-
! dates for the ministry, recommended the
adoption of a system of distribution OF jew
ish tracts for the better diffusion OF religious
knowledge, and finally urged upon the
members of the Convention the necessity OF
laboring energetically in the cause OF Juda-
ism, and Of resisting all encroachment MADE
on civil and religions liberty. At the close
Of the reading of the report, motion ioi
its acceptance was carried, subsequent &c
which the document was referred TO COM
