The loading ol j ct of the editor will be to render it original; and in effecting his object, he will endeavor to enlist for its columns, writers of experience and taste. It is his earnest desire to avoid as far as iossible, hackneyed extracts from eastern or transatlantic literature, and to bring forward the fruits of western labor, when deemed sufficiently mature, and adapted to the public taste to show that the west is as rich in her stores of literature, as in the natural productions of her unrivaled soil and climate, lie will not omit, however, to republish what may be considered of decided interest to his readers. The Buckeye and Cincinnati Mirror will

contain: tales, chiefly founded on western incidents biographical and historical sketches notices of eminent western men essays, on interesting and practical subjects, embracing agriculture and mechanics a glance at the drama literary and critical notices a weekly summary of political and commercial intelligence pcietry music. If arrangements can be made with western artists, ' The Buckeye' will be occasionally embellished with a fine engraving. The subscriber wishes to make no pledge, or promise, which may not be strictly fulfilled, lie does not hope to advance the very high literary reputation which the Cincinnati Miiror has established but trusts, by increasing exertions, to Imj enabled to sustain it, and to enhance the beauty of the mechanical department, so as to render it inferior, in appearance, to no eastern publication. Conditions. The Buckeye and Cincinnati Mirror will be issued weekly, in quarto form, on a large sujkm royal sheet of superior paper,

PROSPECTUS OF THE Ohio State Journal and SenlineL Published in the City of Columbus. P. C. Gallagher, Editor Scott &. Wright, Publishers. IN issuing a Prospectus for extending the circulation of the State Journal and Sentinel, we may be permitted at the outset to refer to the paramount claims to which a well conducted and independent Press, published at the seat of Government, is entitled on the patl of the public, for their patronage and support. It combines advantages peculiar to us central position, possessing, as it does, the means of diffusing the earliest and most comet intelligence of all interestiiig matters, of whatever character,! hrough the various parts of the State; and furnishing to the people a minute detail of the proceedings of the State Legislature when in session, by which the electors are enabled to obtain a know ledge of the acts of their immediate representatives, together with what belongs to the ireneral weal. It is assumed that the Journal and Sentinel possesses the character heie indicated: That it will fulfil these requirements t'at no labor or industry will be wanting in their accomplishment, its present managers pledge themselves to the public. We have reached a crisis in our national affairs; and the question is now to be decided whether vc are to live under a republican

or a consolidated government, whether alii power is to be vested in one executive head, supported by a combination of the office holders of the general government, their adherenls

and dependents, or, our beautiful system of checks and balances, by which power is distributed among the co-ordinate b'ranches of the general government, as provided in the Constitution, is longer to be preserved. That the course of our national affairs has been

downward, and that consolidation must follow j

as the inevitable consequence of the various acts and measures of the present Chief Magistrate, is too palpable te be denied. To arrest this system in its progress to act as sentinels on the watchtower to arouse the eople to a due srmse of their danger, our best efforts will be employed. Fearlessly sustaining the great and fundamental principles of democracy, ns taught in the day? of Jefferson and Madison, our course will be firm and undeviaiing opposing in every shape and under all circumstances, encroachments upon the rights of the jieople or the reserved l ights of the States, proceeding from whatev r source. Such are our general political principles. We are opposed to consolidation. We are opposed to a central power trammeling, by means of its scattered retainers, the free action of the people, and corrupting the purity of the elective franchise, in the individual

States. Considering the enormous claims set up by ihe present Chief Magistrate to vest in himself the whole functions of the general government, and the undisguised attempt to appoint his successor through the abuse of the patronage and power entrusted in his hand', we are alarmed for the safety of our n-publican institutions. The Journal and

Sentinel, then, will be decided in its opposition to the candidate for the succession brought forward under these auspices, and who has publicly announced his intention, if elected, of "treading in the footsteps" of the present executive, and carrying out "the measuies so gloriously begun." Believing that a fotmidable combination of the office holders o ihe general government is already effected, to usurp power from the hands of the people, and, from being the servants of the people, to constitute themselves their masteis, in order to their own permanent establishment in office, we shall oppose this office holders1 party and their candidates for the presidency and vier" presidency, viz: Martin Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson, nominated by tluir couveioion lately assembled in Baltimore. On the value to the public of an independent ritr-ss, conducted on the principles herein set forth, it is unnecessary to dilate. Having notl-ing to expect from the general or state government, it is to our fellow citizene throughout the state, and generally, we must look for patronage. Relying on their patriotism, as well as their knowledge that this (or any othei) paper can be effective, in a career of usefulness, only as it is adequatdy sustained, we submit our views to the consideration of an intelligent public. The Journal and Sentinel is published once a week generally, and semi-weekly during the session of the state legislature, on a large sheet, (fine paper and new and clear type,) at two dollars and fifty cents per annum, in advance, or three dollars at the end of the year. The price for the session only, is one dollar in advance. Columbus, October, 1835. JLaiv partnership. E. A. Hanxeoan & R.

From the New York Mirror. ON THE FALL OF A LEAF. The bud appeared when spring's soft breeze Received the torpid earth, And birds attuned their gladsome lays, As if to hail its birth. The leaf appeared; no raging storm Could tear that leaf away; 'Tvas nurtured by the gentle dew, And by the sun's mild ray. The yellow leaf appeared. The wind Now whistled through the dell, The lofty tree bowed low its head, The leaf scarce moved, and fell. The prattling boy was seen, when Hope Diselled all thought and care; The bloom of health was on his cheek, His brow was thin and fair. The man now in his prime was seen, He sought the battle's din; Or toiled and toiled, by day and night, Some glittering pilze to win. The weary aged man was seen, And few the days before him; With tottering steps he nearsthe brink, The dark grave closes o'er him.

THE WASP. The manners of wasps are truly curious; but we are not about to enter upon a particular description of them. It is one quality only that we would at present mention the power or ti e wasp to make paper. The substance of which the wasp's nest is made is actually paper; and the wasp knew how to make paper before man did. And it is particularly worth notice that at this very time, a new method of making paper is said to have been discovered namely, to make paste (or ptdp) for paper with the fibres of rotten wood. A French gen'lemen, M. Brad, says he was determined to try whether he could not devote to some useful purpose a substance which seemed so useless. He took a large quantity of rotten wood, and removed the knots and parts oT it. This was then put into an oilmill, and ground; it was watered, and afterwards put in sacks to drain off. The paste thus formed was put into a paper manufactory and after going through the usual process about 500 sheets of greyish paper were produced, fit to be written on, although no glue had been applied to it. By pasting a number of sheets together he formed a paste board sufficiently solid and light for ordinary uses. The wasp is a paper maker and a most perfect and intelligent one. Whilst mankind were arriving by degrees at the art of forming this valuable substance, the wasp was making it before their eyes, by very much the same process as that by which human hands now manufacture it with the best aid of chemistry and machinery. While some nations carved their records on wood.and stone and brass and leaden tablets, others more advanced wrote with a pointed instrument on wax; others employed the inner bark of trees; rudely prepared the wasp was manufacturing a firm and durable paper. Even the papyrus the flag growing on the hanks of the Nile in Egypt was by a process of art made to serve for p-iper, the wasp was a better artiznn than the Egyptians; for the early attempts at paper-making were so rude that the pajer produced was almost useless, having no firmness of texture. The paper of the papyrus was formed of the leaves of the plant, dried, pressed and polished. The wasp alone knew liow to reduce vegetable fibres to a pulp, and then unite them by a size of glue, spreading the substance out into a smooth and delicate leaf. This is exactly the process of paper making. It would seem that the wasp knows, as the modern paper makers know, that the fibres of rags are not the only materials used

in the formation of paper. She employs other

vegetable matters, converting them into a pn-per consistency by her laborious exertions. In some respects she is more skillful even

than our papei-makers; for she takes fibres of

a sufficient length by which she renders her

paper as strong as she requires. Many of

the manufacturers of the present day cut their fibres into small bits, and thus produce

a rotten article. One great distinction be

tween good and bad paper, is its toughness; and this difference is produced by the fibre being long, and therefore tough, or short and

easily pulled to pieces. A FEARFUL ADVENTURE.

We recently noticed a work descriptive of

Calabria. Desirous of a little more accurate

information on the character of the fierce bri

ginds of this part of Italy, we turned to the

letters of Paul Louis Gourier, whose works are little known in England. Our readers will probably be interested by the following little story, which we translate for their edification. He 13 writing to his female cousin: Penny Magazine, "I was one day traveling through Calabria. It is a country of wicked people, who, I believe, have no great liking to any body, and are particularly ill disposed towards the French. To tell you why would be a long affair. It is enough that they hate us to death, and the unhappy being who should chance to fall into their hands would not pass his time in the most agreeable manner. J had for my companion a fine young fellow. I do not say this to interest you but because it is the truth. In these mountains the roads are precipices, and our horses got on with the greatest difficulty. My comrade going first, a track, which appeared to him more

practicable and shorter than the regularpath led us astray. It was my fault. Ought I to have trusted to a head of twenty years! We sought our way out of the wood while it was yet light ; but the more we looked for the path the farther we were off it. It was a very black night,wheii we came close upon a very black house. We went in, but not without suspicions. But what was to be done? There we found a whole family of charcoal burners at table. At the very first word they invited us to join them. My young man did not stop fur much ceremony. In a minute or two we were eating and drinking in right earnest he at least: for my own part 1 could not help glancing about at the place and peopie. Our hosts, indeed looked like charcoal burners; but the house! You would have taken it for an arsenal. There was nothing to be seen but muskets, pistols, sabres, knives, cutlasses. Every thing displeased m, and I saw that I was in no favor myself. My comrade, on the contrary, was soon one of the family. He laughed, he chatted with them; and with an imprudence which I ought to have prevented, he at once said where we came from, where we were going, that we were Frenchmen. Think of our situation! Here we were among mortal enemies, alone, benighted, far from all human aid. That nothing might be omitted that could tend to destroy us, he must play the rich man, forsooth, promising these folks to pay them well for their hospitality; and then he must prate about his portmanteau, earnestly beseeching them to take great care of it, and put it at the head of his pillow. Ah, youth, youth, how are you to be pitied! Cousin, they might have thought we carried the diamonds of the crown; the treasure in his portmanteau which gave him so much anxiety consisted of the letters of his mistress. "Supjer ended, and they left us. Our ho3fs slept below, and we on the story where wo had been eating. In a sort of platform raised seven or eight feet, where we were to mount by a ladder, was a bed that awaited us

ed it; but before lie came in he put down the lamp, which his wife took up, and coming in with his feet naked, she being behind him, said in a smothered voice, hiding the light partially with her fingers, "gently, go gently." When he leached the ladder ho mounted, his knife between his teeth; and going to the head of the bed where the poor young man lay, with his throat uncovered, with one hand he took his knife, and with the other ah, my cousin he seized a ham which hung from the roof, cut a slice, and retired as he came in. The door is shut, the light vanishes, and I am left alone to my reflections. "When the day appeared, all the family, with a great noise,came to rouse us as we had desired. They brought us plenty to eat they served us a very proper breakfast a capital breakfast I assure you. Two capons formed part of it, of which, said the hostess, "you must eat one, and carry away the other." When I saw the capons I attonce comprehended the meaning of these terrible words 'Must we kill them both?' "

The hon. Henry Clay and col. Thomas H. Benton married sisters, Miss Harts, of Kentucky. Between the families of these two statesmen, the utmost cordiality and kind feeling exists . Probably no two families ever were more affectionately attached; and it is to preserve this harmony in the idomestic circles, that Messrs Clay and Benton, never allude to each other in debate. Between Mr, Clay and Mr. Benton, no good feelings exist.
