dedication of the C&Uiopean Society Hall of Wabash College. On last Friday evening we had the distinguished honor of being present at the dedication of this Hall. 1'his Hall form* a part of tho new and elegant College building, just erected, a few •teps North of the old building, owl is one pf the finest structures of the kind in Ihe

Wabash Valley. The Calliopean Hall of "which we speak, is sit dated on the third floor of the building, and occupies a considerable portion of the third story.

A* we entered fhi* Hall wo wire immediately struck with its gorgeona and magnificent appearance. It was brilliantly illuminated, and as the lamps shone on the mowwhite walls* anl varniihai beanie of the Hall it presented an appcaran-e, truly grand. It is a spacious room, capable of ^accommodating at least three hundred per ^cons the walls ave high, the windowlarge, and ample provisions made for veur..filiation. The floor is covered with a co«fly carpet suspened in the centre of the .Hall hangs a magnificent Chandelier, and hanging against the western wall is a beau tiful portrait of the Godess Calliope, almost as large as life.. Upon the whole, the hall is well furnished, tastefully arrang ved, and emidontly adapted to th» purpose# for which it was dedicated. But we are digressing front tho subject, we started out ^upon, as all youvg writers will sometimes do. Pardon n£ if we havo, for we thoughi it not. impropci to speak of the hall, in connection with tha dedicatory exercises.

Although Ihe evening was very inauspicious. vet, at the appointed hour the spa vcious hall was deiwly crowded with spec -tutors and invited guests, who were anx ions totviinc** th« ceremonies of the ova aron. After 01 few brief ceremonies by th»* officers of the society, the exflivi-'fi* wer" opened by an able and forcible prayer by Bev. Dr. White, President of Wabash College.

Mr. William Essick, Pres't of the Cal liopean Society, then addtesscd the audi ence, in which he gave a brief history o1 the Society, from its organization, down to the present time.

Mr. E., remarked that it waa organized ten years ago, and that, during all that pe

riod, its meetings wer® held in an hunM»recitation room in the old College. In the course of his remark*, he oloquently

referred to many memheis of tho society trho were now scattered over the broad earth, fulfilling the highest destiny of man

But apace will not permit n* to follow E., through his whole speech suffice it to my, that it was a glorious effort, and wa

jnst the speech for the occasion.

Among tha exercise*, a very excellent poem was read by a member of the Socie-

.ty, whose name we did not learn, and a declamation delivered by Sir. McKev. which was listened to with marked attention.

Onr Congressman elect, Hon. Jame* Wilson, then delivered the regular dedicatory address, in his usual happy and eloquent style Mr. W., briefly referred to some of the great Orators of both ancient and modern' tiraea, remarking that they all acquired their great oratorical, powers by h'ird ifttudy and close application. .Daring his speech we were reminded of tftat old and trtie maxim, which we learned torfepeat when a school boy, *'THERE IS

KO EXCELLENCE WIITOOT GREAT LABOR," bat were-never to forcibly* impressed with jti^reit twtliuntil Mr Wilson rlomonstrated it- by presenting the lives and charactet^of stich men as Demosthenes,. Cicero, Mfcrtln, Luther, Wilbeiforce, Williams, Pitf, Patrick Henry, Webster, Clay, and' a boat of others, wboso fame for true ora to^y the worhrwfil "ever celebrate^/*

Ha ad:

i-he"nioui?9rs of [he Calliopean ileeafcws-

Society, to ever keep in vfe* the lives, the character*, the destiny of these great men, and make their gloriotia examples, polar atari, and bfcaeon lights, which vhauld oven totally guide them to the harbor of everlasting fame. Mr. W., paid a high compliment to the magnificent Hull of the Society, remarking that the hall was a little world within itself that here mind would come in contact with mind—*that here the habits and character of tnen were moulded for all time to como—that amid these gorgeous walla, minds would he fitted and prepared to go out into the world and grapple with earnest realities of life and in conclusion he pointed them to tho adopted emblem of the Society, the gideas Cal liope, as she appeared to bo gazing with evident delight upon the whdle scene.— But we must not foiget the '-Hoosier Vocalists," who during the evening enlivened the occasion by singing several choice pieces of music. Thus passed a pleasant and profitableevening's entertainment. In their new and splendid Hall we prediet for the Calliopean Literary Society, a bright and glorious future.

SHALL POTATOES AND FEW 117 A HILL. Aa our paper makes its weekly appearance we hear of a few tulle*s creatures who make it a part of their business to criticise, fault-find, back-bite and slander.— These miserable specimens of humanity are confined particularly to that class of human beings who are so obstinately an blindly attached to their particular opinions, that their poor, pnny little narrowcontracted sordid. pusillanimous souls will not allow them to entertain the least shadow of lil.etal feeling* and views for tho opinions of others.

To such tho appellation applies "small potatoes and few in a hill." Tu those cowardly back biters who are continuously denorunceirtg us and our paper for tile simple reason that every artii-le wo publish editorially or otherwise does not exactly suit their own peculiar viows.

Wo admit that wo are yotihg in years, and young in editorial life but we hav5 had sufficent experience to toach us that it is the highth of folly to please eveiylody. A man that has the least resemblance of a soul must expect to have enemies. The greatest benefactors of mankind have had to withstand tho mall ice envy, jealously and hatred of their enemies.

But why consume time, dastroy paper, waste ink, and spoil our innocent pen in referring to such mocks of humanity.

It is Worse than nonsense, and we ask pardon for this little digression from the rule of common sense. Just one more word and we are dons. Tlia Rising Sun VUit-uc. speaking on this subject, truthful iy remarks.

Thetr'a enough mean souls taken in the at if to re your success, and they hateyoi so long a* you prosper: il for no other reason, simple localise they arc not excelling you in yum labors and prosperity. It were of Utile use to he&t-thum or their efforts the suiesi aid be'rt way to triumph is to live down lieir petty slanders anl calumnies. Such enemies are cowards, and they hate juh eraue ihev fear yon. The tine mottaior iil'e is to do right, aud let the consequences take care of themselves. "l'ct nerve thy spirit to the proof,

And t)ifilch not .it thy f.hosc-n lot The timid good mar stand aloof, The sage may trow IH—-yet taint thou not, Nor heed the shfitt scr surly caBt,

The luul ami hissing boit of scorn For with thy side shall dwell, at hist, The victory of endurance born. Truth, crus-huti to earth shall rise again

The eternal ymrs of CJoil are heis: But Error, wounded, writhes with pain, And dies among h«r worshipers."

IHE CREDIT SYSTEM!

We copy the following very excelent ar-! :ido on the ciciiii sytteui iiorn the Gieen as a W a W nti'iitl it to the'earful consideration of every -eader of the Jou.mil.

"it would bo. difficult to co-nceive any worse or mjre gigantic evil to all classes society than the almost uni»ersaMy idopted system of credit. The entire aystctn, as it appears to us is founded in a wrong view ot secular economy, and the •onsequeuce. is evil and evil conuuua lly.— vVhile it admits of being converted into a -.ystem of fraud upon tho one hand, on the other, becomes, when viewed through its own *eductive light, the prolific source of di»appointment, disaster and ruin to countless thousands who suffer themselves io bo tasciuated by the inducements Irelti ut br it by it ai.d through it the dishones.t man is enable to rilch Mom penury its hard a.ned »il.- and by it ami through it penuitself is not utif.equemly induced to part with his small earnings.

Nor is any portion of community more soriously effected by the evils of the credit system than are the tillers of the soil.—

They are, indeed, the very prey, carcass upon which speculators,- which the being interpreted, means theives,-hi seme instances, feed. If they can only be- persuaded to bell their stock, their lands aud tenements on a creuit of one or twelve months, the sequel too often proves that they have been duped, or, in other words, sold themselves.

And should they be even fortunate enough ty ekcapa the clutches of the speculators,: they will be' still moie fortunate should they escape the biittd smiles and courtesies of tho Merchants. He lives amongst them and know* them, and knows they aregood, and they know he is clever —but sometimes they forget that he is shrewd also aud that he sells his goods tnore for his own, and their accomodation.

by the way, they couM rery \vell do without and which, in fact, possesses no real valne, and offers it to theta very low they hesitate, fear their ability to pay, but they are told to fear not, that their credit is good and that months are to pass by before the article is to be paid for. The bargain ia struck, and for waiting a few short months the merchant is to receive not less, poihups thah twenty-five per cfeltt on the cash Valfte oh the article sold. But when the tihio of credit expires—then comes the rtib Ihe money must be paid else the merchant becomes ascetic and, if too many of his customers fail to meet engagements, he also becomes bankrupt.

Thus it is, that we too frequently, nbt only do Ourselves a great wrong by the adoption oi the abominable syftem of credit, but also those from whom we buy aie mined by it. Now we simply enquire of tho reader, how many people he ever heard of being ruined and rendered bankrupt by keeping out of debt? by buying nothing but what they could pay for punctually? Not one, we opine?

Then, in view of the foregoing considerations, why is it let us inquire, that we go heedlessly along, and now at the opening of the New Year are found contracting debts, which are to hang like heavy clogs about us, until its closes ahd lor tbe prompt fulfillment of which the contingency of a favorably season and heavy crops, highprices, &c., are lo be considered? With the hope that the suggestions which we make, may be profitablo -to soino, and offensive to none we commend them to every one of our reader* who have a habit for running into debt,"

WABASH

COLLEGE.

The appeafdnce of the first number of tho ""Wabash Magazine," the dedication of the Hall of the Calliopean Society, and—-tontentirtn snriatl things with great— t!ie charticteri3tic.il attack on thfc College by the Reaieio, suggest n«,t few subjects o'f tfiought nnd Congratulation to all who tsike any proper interest in intellectual culture.— The Iadie'3, it is said, always put the m."3t interesting and important parts of their letters in the postscripts—dccidedly a good plan, which we shall imitate in this article, beginning with the false and vulgar strictures of the Rtoieus, dispose tff the til as suirimarily as their falsity and meanhess demand, and then spoilt of things not utterly unimportant.

The Review article CdntairfS aboti't two d6zen lines, aud about one dozen pa'pab'e falsehoods, besides about the same number of just ordinary "white lies," rather less untrue than is usual with our very talented cotemporary. The very heading of the article, "Negroes in Wabash College,*' is false. It is not pretended that there ever were negroes in College. The first sentence uliarges the college with initiating th practical amalgamation schemcs" of Black Republicanism, and thereby the Review fids off two falsehoods in one sentence. "Practice makes perfect." The second scn'ence contains but one falsehood. There is not, nor was there when the Rcvitie appeared, a negro student in "Wabxsh die go. The third sentence contains but one flat falsehood, and one by implication* The fourth sentence contains three unadulterated "whoppers," besides quite a number of ordinary—mistake?. This calculation brings us to nine, and we forbear further notice of the Review'* misstatements, with the sugges tion that its Editor must be a lineal descendant of some "cullui pussoa" of the tribe of Damaras who inhabit a portion of Africa/ and who, as we are told bv Hie celebrated traveller ail I hunter, Anders son. nrv so conducted, intellectually, as to be utterly incapable of telling the trath. An 1 this supposition is in no small decree strengthci.cd by the peculiar physique of the Review Editor, his broad nose, low forcnead, flip-flap lips, and especially his Africanish feet—lat a-ia puuake, or his own atte in ts nt wit—together making a proof Of Damara desetnt, which to dispute, wo'd b«-frke disputing against the sim. Bat thi3 is a digression.

We have ever wondered that there should be aiiy opposition to Wabash College—an institution which is cerhf.nly equal to ai\y institution of the kind in the Wes? and which, whether we con shier tlu thoroughness of the course of study, the learning of the Faculty, the wisdom and liberality of its laws, or itsinduenco in community, is without a eup- rior anywhere. Yet it his met with much opposition from tha very time of its establishment, though the growing liberality on the part of the people in this community has gradually diminished that opposition, till it is now COFTfined, for the most part, to tlu rag-bags and bobtarlsof the Old Line pttrty. and a few demagogues in the same party, who plaee more value on the vote ol'a sans cuttotte, than on tho general education of the people. By this, we by no means intend to say that all ft'oie who have condemned the course of the College as to the admission of the negro, belong to either tho rag-tags, or the demagogues. The dlege did wrongly, in that matter, as we believe. But consider the cireuni-' stance*: Here was a young negro an, remarkable for intelligence, tabnts, and a gentlemanly demeanor—far superior, in these respects, to the Review man, as everybody knows. Hs feels that he belongs to a proscribed race, and does not pretend to an equality of privileges with the white. He feels, too, that yearning after knowledge which ever accomplini cs a good mental organization, and solicits a Iriend to aid hitn in a thorough ciuree of education. Not Hit1! after many requests on the part of this friend—a liberal patron of the institution—did Wabash College consent to receive the young mai:. and then only as a peculiar favor, which the Faculty thought the circumstances warranted in granting. They presume! that the regular students would not object to this acVof beBcvolence, In this they were mistaken, as the event shows, and so soon as opposition on the part of the students w. exhibited, the "gemman of cutor4' was'seTit home. T'he conclusion of the whofe matter is, the College, through an excels of benevolence, pursued animpoutio course but we may say witbf Hood, "Alas! for the rarity 01'Christian charity,

Under the sun."

If there are those who will persist in their opposition to the College, o» account of this unfortunate affair, we shall be sorry for it. We believe there are none such among our good and worthy citizens.

We might here allude to the benevolence "Wabash College has ever exercised toward yoftng men of limited means, and especially to sucfarm our own State—we might allude to a thousand benefits the institution has conferred, and is conferring otf coram unity, but the College needs no eulogy at our hands. It is known and read of all niea,who«jn"read, and, high ia public confidence,

My it wJTI eootiirje prosper in til6 fu

ture with tbe aiihe'high degree of prosperity whieh has characterized its put history ..

And here are two things at once Ld make us feel strong In this confidence. W.a mean the Dedication of the Calliopean Hall, add the WABASH MAGAZINE, the forni er of which is spokeu of in another Article.

As for the Magazine, we have, not left much time to speak of it, and must be brief. The contents embrace the following named articles: Ihtioductory—American Poetry—Philosophy '6f Teaching—Statute of Franklin—Evils of Conservatism—Hon. T. A. Howard—Retrospective —Editorial Notes. These are in prose. The No. contains two Poems—"Palestine)" and "I'll tell Thee, Motlie: Dearest,"

In tho introductory article, the Editors say, "We ask no mercenary reward. If by our means OHe truth is more firmly established, one ror uprooted—if we can present a single incentive to a life of unspotted virtue, or aiford a single cheek to vice—if WB can assist even in a slight degree in encouraging those who are struggling to gain a liberal education, and thus prepare themselves for usefulness in life—if we can aiford a means for the development of dormant energies, we shall feel that our labors have not been unrewarded." Exccpt a verbal criticism on the use of mercenary, instead of pecuniary, this is all that can be desired on the part of tlie Editors of the Magazine.— If we may judge by the first kluuiber, the work will be Worthy of great ptibiic paftouagb, and fte trust it fnny meet With tlifc popularity wllieh we are sure it will merit. We take great pleasure in commending it to public confidence, and will only add that copies of the first number are ior sale by Frank HeitJon.

IXOW MEMBERS OF CONGftESS ARE MADE. Marshall, of Kenfuckey, in a speech in CongresN, a few days ago, took occasion to unbosom himself of a good ileal of bit feme?.# toward editors generally, and to speak very di.-paiingh* of the entire newspaper press of the country. The Louiovijle Journal thus takes him oif. "We like t)r. Marshall very well, but his beiug a member of Congress gives him no right to sneer at editors as a class. Tu be t-uro, editors can afford to be sneered at by members of Congress, but members o» Congress, considering how they are generally made, can ill afford to sneer at them. When William Penn, the Governor o! Pensylvania, was traveling in a portion of tha btate where he was u»t known, a tellow, in whof-c presence the Quaker Governor presumed to wear his hat, exclaimed with an air of olfen ie digniry, "Sir, I would have you know that am a justi. Ol the peace." "VVe'l,-Irisiid,,'said the Governor, in hisquiat way, makt audi things as thee."

That's so. The news papers make just.

C.'s, when they get to Congress, soon fo'get who made them—who gave them name and position and a Kep iv.-entativc charactei-*— who in short, in many instances, convert very inferior materials hit what are lor the time, "houoiable gcml emeu."

Agricultural Eeport.

Let oui I armors call up soon. Tho Documentare very valuable, and will be found at Mr. Fry's store. They should be returned when read through. Pasa them around.

Ni'W MEAT MAKEr.

We notice that Mr. .John Blair haopened a splendid meat market in thr basement ol the well knoivn Hamey Co nc on Green and Maiket Htieets, wlieie litwill keep on band every variety of meats the County con afiord.

ros ALL THE PURPOSES OF A

FAMILY PHYSIC.

THKR* has long existed a public demand for an effective purgative pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has been prepared to meet that demand, and an extensive trial of.its virtues has conclusively shown with what success it accomplishes the purpose designed. It is easy to make a phvsical piu. but not easy to make the best of all pith one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages, of every other. This has been attempted here, and with* what success we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acriiftonious and irritating to the bowels. This is not. Many of them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more' than counterbalance the good to be derived from them. These pills produce no irritation or pain, unless it arise from a previously existing obstruction or derangerfifeftt in the bowels. Being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity but it is better that any medicine should be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their fise in the several "diseases to which they are applicable are given on the box. Among the complaints wh'ffch ha^e befin speedily cured by them, we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Appetite, ListlcsKncss, Irritability, Bilions Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Agile, Pain in the Side and Loins for, in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action in the liver. As an aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, HumoTS, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood in short, any and everv case where a purgative is required.

Thev h"ve also produced some singularly successful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel, Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart,.Psiins in the Back, Stomach, and SiJe. They should be freely taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blooa and prepare the system for the change of season*. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, and restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their stirmdant action on the circulatory system, renovate the strength of the bodv, and restore the waited or diseased energies of the whole organism. Hmce an occasional dose is advantageous, even though no serious derangement exists but unnecessary dosing should never be carried too far, as ever)' purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but they suggest themselves to the reason of every, bod}' and it is confidently believed^ this pill will answer a better purpose than any thing which hae hitherto been available to mankind. When their virtues are once known, the public will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a cathartic medicine.

has won for itself such notoriety

ftom its .x rus of every variety of pulmonary disease, that it it entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences of its virtues in any immunity where it has been employed. So wic.i is ne field'of itausefulness, and so numerous tlie cases of hs cures, that almost every section of the country abounds' in persons publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried its. superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs which are incident to onr climate. And not only in formidable at,aeks upon the lungs, but for the milder varietier of COI.DS. Couons, HOARSENESS,
