to exercise the functions, with which, according
to Locofoco pliiltisophy, they had been so emi-
nently eudowed—antl did so exercise them as
toadminister a tnost withering rebuke to them
and their leaders. It was at length fonntl, how-
eft by ‘he Superior Sagacity ofithc Globe, that
the llI‘ll.'ll0n which they liatl laid on with such
profusion, had been misapplied. The people.
it was discovered, were not the unbought, iut’lr-x-

credulity and blinrlricss. assisted by large sums

pliant slaves of the VVltig party——confideuce in
the capacity of the Auterican people to govern
themselves was at once lost, and tltey were (lg-

This kind of coarse abuse. however cotisislcnl
it may bewith the true spirit of Locoficoi.-rm,
will only expose the party using it to supreme
contempt and commiseration.
This is our settled conviction. and otir Loco-
foco friends may have the benefit of it gratis.

Snow fell pretty briskly-—but during the after-

modesty, antl she yielded her limbs to the bridal
attire, and the pair went into as cordial an em-

PHILANTIIROPIC Law Ricrorm JouriNAt..—
This is the rather incongruous name ofa mriiiil'i-
_ 1y paper, the second nutnber of which was sent
to us last week, published in the city of New
York by Wm. H. Hudson, at three cents a ririm
ber. Its object appears to be to prune the judi-
ciary ofsotne of its odiousness, anrl render it more
subservient to the interest of community. This
is indeed praiseworthy, but we f:ar it will be
found a herculean task.
SHALL THE LYCEUM BE SUSTIN-ED?
Mr. l£ditur—-By a notice in your paper. it ap-
pcrsthat the Lyceum is to resume operations
this week. It may not be amiss. at tltis titne,
to ask the members of the Lyceum and the corri-
mutiity, whether the undertakiiig shall go on or
go down? If the members are intlilferent to
the Society, or iftbey neglect inviting or attend-
ing their friends to its meetirigs, the attendance
will be thin antl the exercises feeble. If they
_are easily turneil aside from the meetings, or
,tardy in coming to them, vexation and disap-
,pointmetit will soon end the experiment. Nor
)5 this all. {fthe citizens think that they have
no concern tn a society, designed to promote
reading. thinking, and useful conversation, or if
they withhold encouragement to social improve-
,ment and wholesome recreation, titeir coldness
and neglect will break up an association, which
- chiefly depends for its existence and activity on
public approbation.
Arrangements are made for several lectures
from the Rev. Dr. Mead, Rev. ‘Messrs. Hall
and Purves. and T. B. Butler and T. T. Mer-
