to their several departments, and in
this they Show themselves worthy
rivals of, Presidents and Governors.
Surely, there is great need for the
pruning knife Of reform lii all such
cases, in order that readers may be
saved from so many unmerciful in
aictions upon their time and patience.
The fifty years published cores
pondence of the Duke of Wellington
affords ample proof that he gave
practical effect to bis own precept
when he wrote: tss. .. sa4u
"lf officers abroad will have no
mercy upon each other in CORE.
spondence. | entreat them to have
some upon me, and confnes them
selves to the strict facts OF the case,
and write no more than is necessary"
That lamented and accomplished
scholar, the late Prof. Reed, of Phila.
delphia in one Of his beautiful lee
lures, pays this just tribute to the
Dukes powers Of condensation
"Whether writing or speaking, he
uses words with stern frugality, and
sends them straight to their mark.
Trained by the discipline Of camp
to know and feel the mischief of
waste of words, lie has gained through
long service as a statesman and a
soldier soldierly command of the
language" ..-
When Washington was President
of the United States he always
opened Congress in person by
speech, and his speeches and State
papers are models of brevity and
perspieuity. Daniel Webster, also,
whose great thoughts were always
clothed in the richest language and
purest diction, has had few equals in
powers of condensation. '#.1 ne

THE STATE HoUsE. The subject of
procuring site and erecting q new
State House, is one that certainly de-
serves the consideration Of the whole
people before such an extravaganza
move should. be inaugursted by those
whose opinions are freely expressed on
the subject.
The present condition of financial
affairs, and the distressed situation of
the people, is enough to tbwart all IL
logical arguments Of the intfiguefs
and movers Of this expensive scheme.
Besides the State has already, as beau
tiful u site at Baton Rouge, as there
can be found any where on the river,
with building, that, true enough has
been partially destroyed by fire, but for
small sum, not SO much as 'twould
take to purchase new grounds in the
city Of New Orleans, to repair the
building and make it as good as it
ever was.
The spirit of the New Orleans rep.
resentation, has long been at work to
have the Capitol removed to that city,
but each time, these designs were
thwarted by prompt refusal of the
people. Then why attempt to adopt
police to force this thing on the peo-
pie without having fair test of their
opinion again on the subject Even
without this consideration, it looks
rather strange that some men cannot
sec farther than the ends of their
noses are they not, themselves deep
ly interested and do they not, repre-.
sent people who have been impov-
erisbed by war that has brought upon
the land destruction that is irrepar
ablef
1t would be certainly nothing more
than justice to the people of the State
that she should have a State House,
but what is the use Of going to the
unnecessary expense of procuring new
sigtss and erecting new buildings Great
ing an enormous and extravagant ex-
penditure of money that can be saved
by the adoption ola system ofeconomy
