The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome Of newspaper history. 1t is also re-

This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by a comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. RowelI & Co.
such information as enables them TO weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

REASON vs.. TRADITION.
NUMBER THREE.
BY MRS. H. L. M'coRD.

If public opinion is against equality
in its broadest sense, it is so from preju-
dice, which needs only to be Informed
to cause it to pass away. No greater
prejudice exists to-day than once ex-
listed against the proposition that the
world was a globe. The ancient belief
that the earth's surface was fiat,
hemmed in by mountains on which the
sky rested-a huge dome overhead-was
popular belief and ancient fact. 1t
originated in the superstition of old Pa
tristic history, and thus remained in
the minds of men for many centuries.
Even doubtful expressions from the
more advanced minds as to the prevail
ing idea of the shape of the earth were
visited by priestly vengeance from
church tribunals, or, as in the case of
Galileo, atoned for by recantation on
bended knees. Finally, as facts became
demonstrated in many ways proving
the globular form of the earth, the
light of a clearer understanding dawned,
and this superstition vanished, as all
untenable ideas must in the rays of
reason and scientific discovery. When
public opinion is anchored in error, it
! is not a safe or pleasant thing to live
under But when it rules in the love of
liberty, making it TO our best interests
to educate the people in humanity and
in reverence for the rights of the
humblest individual that makes up our
numbers, then we hail it as a benson
from heaven. This same public opinion
has ever been unfortunately prone to be
governed by the eomnipotence of wealth,
by the mountainous odds of majorities,
by the power of the pulpit, and last,
but not least, by time-honored institu-
tions, of which human slavery was one,
and, hideous monster that it was, ii
claimed Divine origin. There have
been stagnant times when even great
mind anchored in error might sway the
slow-moving current of society, but
such an era is not ours. Instead of the
day of armed men clad in steel, devas-
tating nations in search of sacred relics
of worship, we are 10 the midst ol
thinking people, and God never endowed
a single man with so heavy a brain
that it could for moment compare oil
compete with the accumulated intellect
of the masses. The days of hero worship
are crumbling away with the worship
of time-honored institutions. For two
hundred years the negro on the South
ern plantation wore his chains in meek
and quiet submission; but at length the
very air he breathed became instinct
with liberty, and the supposed Divine
institution of slavery was doomed from
that very hour. What, then, signifieC
Dred Scott decisions and fugitive
slave bills? The soul of humanity is
more potent than human enactment'
written on parchment, though that
parchment has stood for a million o
years as a guide; and now, with SCARED
feet but hopeful heart, the trembling
slave marches toward the common goa
-selfhood and freedom.

But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
