The Newspapers a journalof news,
has not only become the great edu-
Gator Of indepndeht opinion, but it
performs a scarcely inferior injunct-
ion in quickening the sensibilities
of mankind and in broadening and
liberalizing the whole tone Of human
feeling as well as human thought
The old narrowness and provincial
ism of sympathy and sentiment give
way to cosmopolitan spirit-too
habitual consciousness of world wide
relationship and interests-when a
man receives daily communications
from his fellows all over the world,
and is touched with no matter how
momentary an effect by the trials or
triumphs, the joys or grief, the pleas.
ures and pains ofhis neighbors fur
and near, around the globe. The re-
hottest item of news, the most trivial
incident of life, reported from strange
people and strange lands, is a mes.
sage of human northumberland APP
peal f, ON heart to hcart-and con-
sciously or not the generous sensibil.
tiles in human nature are warmed
and increasing influence, even from
the paragraphs and iottings that we
skim with the eyes in the morning
newspapers. The newspaper is, in
truth the most powerful agent of all
that are acting in what we call the
civilization of mankind, but is more
strictly as n compendium of current
events and less as an organ Of opin-
ions and as a dissemination of ideas,
than most people appear to under
stand.

show what the debt ought to be now
if the Treasury books have been
kept correctly. If, as will certainly
be the case, the debt is found to be
vastly greater than the Treasury ac-
counts show it ought to be, it will be
for them to explain what has become

must have occurred during the war,
that one and another was allowed to
get money from the Treasury inprop-
erly;that it was taken by dishonest
officials, both in and outside the de-
