POWER OF THE PRESS.

(F'rOn COOOeCLS ESeS4SeSi-)
 By the same conveyance, I received printed CODY of proposals for re- suDIishing. in an octave volume, by Messrs Belden & Go. of New York, my letters on the late war of 1812- { This also has, as may be- supposed given me great pleasure.
 It is another instance of a striking nature of the great power of the press, and it is a proof to me, that my Iabors are not thrown away It is another motive to industry.
