The pAlUdiom, under tbe au-piees ,,f its new editoi and publisher, contains an artide setting forth the advantage of newspapers to the People, during the sessiots of Congress and of our State Legislature, from which we t:ike the following sentence: "There are many tood papers in the countrv one other, our" readers know, in this comity let each man take the paper he likes best, b it let every man take seme paper.'" However wc may differ from the new Editor of the Palladium, either in local or general poli tic, or in other matters, yet we can mot hcartitv respond to tbi.

We have beenued lo Ihe newspaper ince we fmt knew the letter of tbe alphabet, . . . nd we h.tv received more iutruciion irom me tolumniofthnewspipc,lbn we have from

the books w hich have ever been printed. This may seem singular to some, but when it is recollected that our situation in life always prevented us from receiving any education in the School House, the assertion is made evident. We have caid much more on this subject than we intended saying when we commenced the article; but the subject is an important one much more so than tiinc-tenths of those who take no newspaper, imagine it to be; and we repeat in the language of our contemporary, "Let each man lake the paper he likes best, but let every man take seme newspaper."

JOHN AV. COWAN. Wc made allusion to this individual last week, and gave our views in regard to the prac tice of publishing the "Lives and Confessions' of such pel sons. We are ideased to find that we are not alone in this matter and the following praagraplu from Cincinnati papers meet with our enliic approbation. Wc are opposed, too, to public executions. We think they ought to be made privately and no person except the oilicers of the law, and the clergy, (if the criminal requests it,) be permitted to witness the awful scene. We were forcibly struck with the remark of the Republican in regard to ti e difficulty ofgetling peopie together at public meetings, and the rapidity with which the public llocked to see a luiman being launched -into eleinitv! There never was a more correct remark made. He might publish, for instance, a notice for an agricultural meeting, for six successive weeks, X yet f.vrnfy persons would not convene at the appointed time. But were we to say, in two short lines, that a man would be hung on a certain tiny, trionscnds would flock to witness it!! Yesterday there was to be a poor negro wench aw at Burlington, 12 miles from this place. Wc have but little doubt that a vast numlcrof he people of ibis county went to witness the hocking spectacle; and if any one of them on their return will loll us of any peculiar gratification they bad in looking at such a scene, or how much better off they are, we promise them it shall find a place in our columns. Tiir: rxixLTiox. c suppose every body is aware that Cowan the murderer, suffers the! H tially of the law ("or bis crime lo-d;y; and itc suppose every body x (to can, I will co to sec a (ellow bcins? launched; into eternity. 1 here is a morbid curioilv, to witness spectacles of this kind, in all communities, which re piires no prompting to incite it to mInigcncc. I he same labor, and the a;nc coaxing that would be required lo got up a rail road meeting or nit' otli cr meeting for useful purposes, of two or three hundred people, would draw to a hanging, tens of thousands. Cow- i in is the most important man in the community to day. He is the lion of ihe moment. If he had lived an honl man, and died an honest death, in ill probability he would have descenled lo his narrow home, unknown, tinilied,aud unwept. Public interest iti this poor wretch will not terminate at the gallows. I here is Ins confession that tine, oua non cf nil cxccutior.swritten by himself: the proceeds to go to the erection of a monument over tbe erave of his victims his murdered wife and children. Fvery man, woman and child, will we suppose, be on, the qui live to get r.ou oi u, una see vvnai a man w ho could commit a crime of such aggravated enormity, has to say of him self. When will public opinion do a way with public executions? isincmnali iiepuiutcan. EXECUTION OF COW AX. John W. Cowan, the cruel murderer of his w ife and two children, was hung yesterday, (in a hold West of the city, near Mill creek.) agreeably to his sentence, lie was swung from the scalffolJ at a quarter past one o'clock, and after struggling for free minutes died, n immense concourse of people, probtbly amounting lo upwards of 20 thou sand, were congregated to witness the execution. Disgracelul as it may appear, perhaps one fourth of the number were females, many of whom had come from the country a distance of 23 or 30 miles. Cowan was taken to the gallows, silting upon his coffin on a cart. lie addressed tbe multitude twice while on the scaffold, hut wc have not heard what he said. He endeavored to np pear very firm and collected, but at the moment of execution was much agitated, and repeatedly clapped his hands in agony.
