Smitit-axia. All situations on earth, no difference lather it be attended with as many pleasant antici'.'jons? as throng the "busied fancy" of the lover, or impeded with as many difficulties and perplexities ire necessarily assumed by the Editor of a Press, is intimately associated with its pleasant and smil- ! Ji's and its simpering farewells, uttered in implied "thoughts that breathe and words that f." But these arc circumstances soaiatural in the sing transactions of man," and in our own expo-;

that it is superfluous further to illustrate. Sel"i, however, docs a debut and a farewell so closely

W each other, as we have discovered in the gonseM career of an Editor of a paper not fifty miles 'f-iof this, on a very recent occasion. The Editor "ts on his journey with an annunciation of a great ession to his "subscription list" hails it as a "faftble omen" of the "kind intentions" of the public, 1 as usual closes with a pledge that .'no pains will spared" to render his paper "valuable to all classes tho community." But the bright prospect soon ?es, and his attempts to 'please' appear futile, for declares, in the self-same sheet, that "Far, far from thee, my only love, "My cheerless fortune leads!" proverbially true but such the evr.ncscence of ''ftlllv tliinnre nnil clioli tli VlittorilPfiQ of tf floptincT

'still we say with the writer

"Oh, be thy path of life as bright, "As dew drops were lang syne."

'Tlt is well known to the Post Masters in this

that Mr. Cain, the Post Master at Indianapolis,

Sprinted circulars throughout the State, requesting c Post Masters to inform him of any irregularity in arrival of the mails, as he was determined to rcgu-

Blue laws rf C ' uiuectieut in force, again. Perhaps

it will be rememV-ed that the l.it-t Legislature of Connecticut passed an act prohibiting the establishment

of schools for the education of blacks who are nut residents of the ytatc, without futt obtaining the consent

ofthebolcct men of the town in w hich such school

shall be established. Tho humane Miss Crandall lias

established such a school, after endeavoring in vain

to obtain the consent of the Select men. She has vio

lated the law, if it can be called a law. As a matter

of course she was arrested examined and hound

over to court. She has been tried by the court, and

is now in prison.

POST OFFICE LAW.

At this time, when the Alail carriages are groaning

with the weight of electioneering hand-bills, we pub

lish for the special benefit of our Post blasters, the

following sections from the Post-OiTice Law, pages 05

and 6(5:

Sec. 289. It is a violation of Law to enclose

or conceal a letter, or oilier thing, or any memo

randum in writing, in any newspaper, pamphlet

or magazine, or in any package thereof, or to

make any writing or memorandum thereon, and

delivered the same into any post oiuce, or to any

person for that puspose, in order that it may be

carried hy post, free of letter postage. .Id. of

lo2.. OrC. uv.

290. If a packet of newspapers,, pamphlets

or magazines, come to j our olhce in which a let

ter or other thing is concealed, or on which a memorandum in writing is made, as above, you will charge single letter postage on each article

of which the packet is composed.

291. If the packet he addressed to the office,

and contain papers for several persons, only the

newspaper in which the letter or memorandum is enclosed, and its contents, should be charged

with letter postage. 292. If the person to who the paper or pamph let, containing the letter, or memorandum is addressed, refuse to pay letter postage, you will

immediately enclose the paper or pamphlet to

the 1 ostmastcr, lrcm whose olnce it came, and request him to prosecute the person, who placed it in his oilice, for the penalty of-5, provided by law.

293. It is the practice of many to address their

hand-mils to l ostmasters, by which means they give them an extensive circulation, free of postage. This is an abuse which must be corrected. In evenr instance where you receive a communi

cation, addressed to you as Postmaster, which is of a private character, and designed to promote

private interests, with an evident intention of

giving circulation to it, without paying postage,

3'ou Avill return the same to the person who sent

it, under a new envelope, with the charge ol letter postage endorsed."

We also insert section 24, showing what is to be

charged with letter postage:

"34. Letter postage is also to be charged on all

handbills, printed or written, proposals for new publications, circulars written or printed, lottery

bills and advertisements, blank lorms, and man

uscript copy for publication, and upon any mem

orandum which shall be written on any newspa

per, pamphlet or magazine, except it be a notice

from a printer oi a newspaper to a subscriber,

stating the amount due for Ins subscription."

Ad of 1825, Sec. 13.

Tho Post 3Iaster in this place, during the current

week, has, by his vigilance, detected several infringements upon tho Post Office Law, where circulars had been smuggled in newspaper packages; and we trust

that he will, in the faithful discharge of his duty, make

such arrangements as to detect those w ho would thus

attempt to practice frauds upon the government for

electioneering purposes.

Editorial Convention. Wc have heretofore

said nothing about this convention, and it is possible that some of our readers may never have

heard oi it. It was proposed to hold a convention of the Editors residing in Ohio, at Columbus, on the 9th of Julv, (instant.) for the purpose

of cultivating a friendly feeling between the different conductors of the public print attempting by joint exertions to raise the character of the public press from its present degraded situation

petitioning Congress for the exemption ot pot-l-

agc on letters to Editors aiding each other in

the collection of debts and, perhaps, the cstab-

shing of regular prices for the different kinds of

work in their line. Only a few, however, attended, and all they did was to reccommend a general convention of hc profession about the commencement of the session of the next lejns-

ature. Country CoUitstrctvr. From the National Banner. The dead carcass of Nullification is, it is said,

to be dug up from its quiet grave, and an attempt is to be made by some of its old admirers in South Carolina to reanimate it. "What drugs and spells, what species of incantation, are to be em-

loyed on the occasion wc do not know and can

not even conjecture; but wc venture to predict

that they will all whatever they may be prove

inefficacious. The nionstcr is too far gone to be

revived. It is actually dead, and can never

again, in our opinions, assume the semblance of

life, activity, and power.

j.'.ui vf Ci.uuh. The c ity was thrown into o,uite an excitement yesterday, in consequence of intelligence having been received of the escape of Clough, the murderer of Mrs. Hamilton, lie made his escape from prison about twelve o'clock en Saturday night, the Sheriff having visited him about eleven. His absence from prison was not ascertained till yesterday morning, when the alarm was given, handbills got out and circulated, and a large number of persons started in pursuit. It is supposed that he was assisted by friends in effecting his escape. He effected his esc ape by burning away the wood work attached to t!e iron bars of one of the windows of the prison passed thro'

into the yard, and by means of some boards,and his blanket torn into pieces, and tied together as a rope, effected his escape from the wall. He

had not been arrested at our latest accounts.

The Sheriff is much reprehended for his negli gence.- Phil. Papa:

It appears that the lbllowing from the Indian

Agent at Fort-Winnebago, is a full proof of the

miseries of savage life:

'The Indians are in a state of demi-starvation,

many have been obliged to subsist on acorns, and

were it not for the issues of provisions to them oc

casionally, by their respective agents, many

would certainly have perished. On Wednesday last this place and neighbor' hood were visited with a heavy fall of rain, ac

companied by strong wind, and frequent dischar

ges ot lightning. The corn in several places has sustained injury from the violence of the

wind. . Un the lusrh ground, 7 or S miles .hack

west and south-west, the farmers have suffered

considerably more than in the bottoms along the

river. lnd. Palladium of July 2.A

ease and death, in almost every eectionof thecour'ry,

our town continues remarkably healthy. No cases of

Cholera have taken place in Brookville, or its immediate vicinity, up to this time: neither do we know of the

existence of a solitary case in Franklin county.

DR. UIUTTO.Y'S VEGETABLE ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.

HIE convenience of a cheap remedy, in the form

of Pills, suited to tho commencement of most

of the indispositions to which wo are liable, needs no comment. Many diseases, in their forming stage, are

easily arrested, by the exhibition of proper cathartic medicine; and the consequent suffering and expense are thereby avoided. All that pills can cllcct, in preserving or restoring health and that is much may be expected, and will be derived from the timely use oi these Pills. Arc peculiarly excellent in every variety of head ache, proceeding from a foul, acid or billiousstato of the stomach; and in all feverishncss of the system, dependent on the same cause. In short, for every derangement of the stomach and bowels, rcquiringcathartic medicine, the Vegetable nti-Billious Pills admit of no comment. Prico X.T) cents. For sale at the store of J.
