Tae mightiest engine ol our day is u. News- .
paper. What are armies and treasuries, navies
and lurts, and magazines and foundries, or sen- ,
ale-chambers ana Lit’’ *, in comparison v. itn
newspapers —where newspapers me free ? OI |
what avail are public meetings or coon m lion., j
or conspiracies, or revolution* indecu. wheie
newspapers are not free ?
Thev are not so much the organs, or me ex- .
pounders, or reservoirs, a* they me the germi.t
lorsul public opinion.
We are a newspaper people. W tiL us news
papers are the fourth power ot me state oi ici
ther the jii'st- power, swallowing up ah other
powers. Thev are the president-makers —the
lawgivers —the judiciary —the supreme execu
tive —with a pardoning power beyond all that
was ever claimed for any earthly sovereign.
What the newspapers ui a land like ours a
[j uphold — tnereb-. fstiblisha L
What they combine to denounce—whether m ,
morals or in manners, in literature or in -science, ;
in law, physic or divinity, cannot live, iohe j
troubled with a bad epitaph <if > r your death, ‘
i> bad enough ; but to be ha timed by a bad epi- |

newspapers do this continually; and one might
a* well be buried alive as oliend them, unless
like Mr. Cooper, he chooses to make a fool ot
himself, by punishing them as they deserve.
Show us a man, or an action, or a law , good,
bad or in ;liferent, which me newspapers, band
s ing together, may not make hateful or prai-se
* worthy, according to their own good pleasure,
in tire e.stint ition of lhe great multitude, who i
read nothing but newspapers, and we will un- j
deriake to show you a race of ‘‘anthropophagi,
or men whose heads do grow beneath their .
shoulder*, just back oi the hill yonder.
People so love to see themselves in print !
book's .i hooir, although there's uotimig iu’l.'’
Hence every body lushes into print through
the newspapers; and what is still more alarm- i
mg, although every itody knows this, nobody's
faitli in newspapers would ever appear to be
shaken, except in matters of fact. A man who e
opinions upon any subject, even upon the limes
or the weather, or upon matters and things in
general, would neither be li-tened to. nor lole.- j
ated, much less repeated, if altered by the mouth,
lias only to whip into the nearest newspaper
oitiee, and write down, what he durst not say
aloud lor his life, lest he shoal ! make hints ,-i:
ridiculous lorever. under a fictitious name, or
editori illy, to fin i himself quoted on ’Change,
or perhaps j;i the hails of legislation. before me
Mia goes down, to lac uu.-> >eukablo amusement.

Again, imt/nmc fiftieths of all the m j
our country, belong t • a party; even Iho-e which I
pretea I to be neutral, arc ala ays changing with :
the subscription list: and speaking more or les->
plainly—now on tnis side, now on ilia', and
now on boil, ace aiding to the ISovks." And all
papers belonging to a party are either advocate.-*
or partizans, cl-c the party would not uckuow- ,
ledge them, nor even trust them within tneii :
houses. As advocates o' partisans, they are of
• ou.se one -ided—so that few exoect the rftuh
of idem. And when by chance, a newspaper, i ,
'•apposed to Irelong to a party, ventures to speak
above its breath of anything* questionable in the ; ]
doings thereof; or the simple truth of any man, .
or of any measure, not ot its party, it is ahvaj-s j
believed to be turning, and irom that hour is I ,
looked upon with distrust, an 1 narrowly watch* t
ed.
And what is the consequence? A man who ,
loves a newspaper for itself—who understands ,
its capabilities—who knows, that by the help of I ,
newspapers alone, if they are honestly and ablv
carried on, he may educate a family, gets afraid (
of them, and A obliged eitaer to give them up
altogether, or to confine himself ?o business pa
per>. which he must have, and cannot do with
out —mere catalogues, shipping list*, advertise- ]
meats, and price-currents—or to doable and !ri- I
pie the dose, ana take newspapers on both shies
and on all sides—at a prodigious waste of time -
and money—before he can make up his mind 1 {
whether the chief magistrate of the union, with f
ail ihe heads of departments are >0 manv demi- ■,

meaot blundering schema — philosophers or .
visionaries 01 ntoi> an s rea Miners, or clamor
ou.s fools, who have been qualified for lawgivers
by th? whimsol a people— ten thousand'liiue.s

lime was. when, hire the French, we had but
few newspapers ; and they were written lor by
the ablest men oi the country, without pay. At
tiie outbrea c of the revolutiohaiy war, and after
the treaty of eighty-three, up to the consumma
tion ol their great work, our whole literature
was a newspaper literature, and the strongest
minds, and best hearts alive, were engaged in
wholesome newspaper controversies that shook
the world. Tac Adamses, the Otises, the Frank
lin.;, the Hamiltoas the Jeffersons, the Madi
son ■ the Jay -were always at work upon the
public mind, through the newspapers.
And then, after this—up to about the year
Hl2 when there were not in the whole or these
United States, per adventure, so many as half a
dozer. editor* employed—proprietors being their
0.. i! editor.-, .endalmost alwaj's printers, de
pending upon gratuitous, and in ninety nine
case;out ol a Hundred, upon anonj'inor.';contii
bn ions. and extracts from one another to make
op their -heet.*—pajiers went on multinlving
over the land, a-- a mere experiment in hn inc -
t new branch i»i the bookMrade or job-printing
—idl every tillage in the country has it- one,
two, or three, and sometimes its half a score of
new spa j vers; mostol which were never heard
of at the fit 1 oi a twelvemonth, when the sub
scription tell due, an.i po. Vn/rs were asked for
something more than their names.
About this time, e. ii tors began tone thought
oi at a regular salary. Proprietors were com
mon enough, who were called editors and oc
casionally wrote a paragraph or a irk full —or
pemaps an essay—there was Duane, for ercain
xrf an i‘ Alexander Hanson, and Cohnan, and
.■lt.jur Km sell — hut there were no editors, prn
perly speaking, till about the time of Paul Al
ien s appearance in Brunson's United states
Gazette.
Since then although newspapers have multi
pl.ed like the Frogs of Egypt — in worth as in
<piantttv —they hare been gradually and steadily
growing better. Hardly one ol the whole two
thousand now Nourishing—after a fashion necu
iinr to newspapers— within our boundaries,
would j.cimit sycii poetry, or such prose indeed
to appear in their columns (always excepting
political papers’an 1 rpiaok advertisements) at
raailc op the larger part of onr best magazines
and book literature, forty years ago.

.they co d our people, and how good a j euny
woith they get for their money.

must pay ioe. the wronged printer, the wrorp’d
tvpe-founder, cr the j a,)er mak>no ie> a sum
litan three ihousr.m* dollars. Thi-. multiplied
bv two thousand, the total number oi newspapers
pablshed in out country, (Vattemar collected
specimen' of more than that number,) gives a
grand total of six millions ot dollars tor the
\ early cost of thi' lourih estate to the .American
people : Add the time wasted with newspapers
—and the lax would he trebled. And then,
what become' of these newspaper-'T—OF the
ATcL.,v>- ’ . .ijiovs / .7 fV.- «.'/ v ', circulating
over the whole length and breadth o: the land,
at the rate of more than a miiiiion and a hall

perhaps in ten thou-and. o to be found alive at
the end ot the week —and before a month is over
tae only copy ou earth, must be looke i for on :he
proprietor's hie. or in the hands cl a collector.
And yet, with all ibis worthlessness ana waste,
who that knoa s there true value, would venture
to say 1 hat newspapers cost this country more
than they are worth t People read newspapers
who read nothing else. People read newspapers
,r/i n and \rherc they read nothing ei-e. To the
great body of our men. women and children, a
newspaper is a drama of the universe. i\ call
it tne I tVoßi.ri, or the Times, oi the C-r.osc, cr
the Suv. is by no means to overstate its value
in their eye-. To them it is the only Wo aim
they are acquainted with: a S; y with lit which
they and their families, vc mi.i grope in dark
ness forever. Oi lue Times, either in the old
world or the new, what know they, cm by the
help of th? newspapers ? i’key have no books
beyond, the Bible, an almanac, or a stiay
Thomas-a-Kem i . or Josepim--. o: a la:.etch
copy ol Noah AVebsuT- Thi d Pali—and how
would they be able to srue-s at the doings of the
rest o! the world—at the rise sni fall ot •; mpire
—th - cor.dilion of Europe—. r ii.<_progress of
knowledge—ay. or of wha* their own rulers were
doing for them, but for the newspapers? There
are Jen millions of people in these United •’stares
who never heard of the invasion ci' Russia, nor
the >veithrow of Napoleon—nor Nap- k-cn him
self -except through tbs new. a per- • and who,
at this hoar, but for the newspaper-, wool ; r.ct
know that such a man ever existed, to -rev n th
ing of the ten thousand sceptre I .-.Widow-. that
have appealed and disappeared up ou the thrones
of the world within the last hall century.
Do our newspapers cost too much, then, even
at this price ?
But perhaps it may be said—die re a . n why
your people have no books, is because the_\ have
so many newspapers; and newspapeis wont
keep.
Woi thy of profound consideration. But for
our newspapers, it may be, that our people
would have libraries of their own —family libra
ries—ocqueathable from sire to •- n. The mer
chant ol New York, or Philadelphia or New
Orleans, where they are still more extravagant,
who take half a dozen daily paj res—and multi
tudes are they who taken dozen ortweniv —pays
at least sixty dollar.- a year, and with postages,
about seAenty-five. Let him continue thi< for
twenty years, and he will have expended y</' rr.t
hv}>tfolUtrs, which with the accumulated in
tere.'! will amount ;;i the end of mat time,
to ah-ort tiro thousand dollars —sufficient to pur
chase a library large enough an I good enough
for any household purpose*. And what has he
to show for this ? Nothing.
Yet more; new t paper reading, to the bn-y man
whose time is mon.-y. and to whom good hooks
and maps, an 1 have iibrarins are a cessiblc. is
toe ot ail reading, It is it* tact st!**h at;
tindesiiable waste (d time ilia! men of httsiness
to our large cities—like editors— never think of
/•- ■■ ’iugii news: ap.u: or if they do toe never to
be caught in the tact. Yon might as well hope
to cat -ii a physician taking his own medicines,
or a vintner di inking i. is ow . wines, or a lawyer
pleading his ov. n ca-e.
\f er till, therefore what is iu badon ■! i’nat
newspapers in this country are not what they
ought to be is true. That they are altogether
too numerous and too worthless--taking them
together, in the lump, n bwitli-tajidiag it hundred
exceptions—that in most cases the;, ate a1 i
ruinous Itrthe proprietors and the paj.ei maker,
wearisome to the reader and exhausting 10 the
hearei —is also true. That a much wiser appli
ed lion ol money and lime might be made, by
men ot business and of lie-me, in the neigh
borhood of books and libra; iey than they n ov
make under pretence <»f informing themselves
and their families, i> also tine. But what ol
that —what of all this ! I f the- question to be de
cided is. whether we shall have our two thousand
newspapers, with all their faults, at the expense
ot twenty millions; a year, ii you please, instead
of six; or no newspapers —or even a system of
newspapers like that of any other people upon
eaith, even of that people who arc held up to us
so modestly by one ot themselves, for a pattern,
beyond which and above which, give us our A
mericsn newspapers! —tor the same reason that
we would c;y, give as our equal distribution
of wealth, of learning, or of intelligence, of po
litical powei ol rights and < uties—of air and
water —with no overgrown capitalist' in either.
]*ut is there no help foi the evils that, are ac
knowledged to exi<t in our newspaper system*
Must the wtiole be tom up by the roots —or must
we leave ir untouched—unprofaned—till it over
spreads the land with its rank and frightful lux
uriance ? For ourselves, we hope much in this
matter. On r new spaper are won be; fully improv
ed within the last dozen year- Still greater chang
es are in progress. Magazines are still lodo the
work of newspapers, in a department which, on
account of their convenience and cheapness,
they have hitherto monopolized; and newspa
pers are to extend themselves into new depart
ments of science and ihe art.'-, and to become
profile hi and respectable; fewer in number, bui
ten thousand times worthier to de held in remem
brance, and to hs? found in the workshops and
about the firesides of the people—where they
have heretofore held undisturbed possession.
But of hese things mote hereafter.

tumbling of the buildings all over the city, com

noise I ever heard: in about thirty seconds the
■ city was in ruins.
A icv. h.-u! s alter, foe broke out in various

, cuv in the West India Islands. it contained a
I pcnuLtic-n of I*,ooo. and the buildings were of
stone, three and four stories high.
But the most av fill thing lu oescribeJ is
the loss of human lives, and the poot human
creatures who were taken from the ruins, muti
lated in every p- s:ib!e shape, which I will not
attempt. About *2,t?00 were killed, and 1,500
wounded, 30!) oft lie latter s« tiering ampuiation
of one or more of their limbs. The public
1 scuaic was literally idled with the dying; eve
! f v< - ei in the harbor has more or less of them
ui i ate. The contents of the apothecaries’
shops were destroyed, and the physicians lost
niwst of their in.'U umcnu in their houses, so
that it was many days before some could I e

i nri from -Basseterre arrived here next day, took

the ho pilal at Basseterre.
He o' ’-red at.oHi*e,that no res.-cl should leave

price upon all the necessaries of) Fe, tha! he who
at e ~!,;e«d to sell above that price should be im
prisoned. lie dispatched at once messengers to
Basseterre and Mat Unique, and before three
dn v- a .-upolv of provisions came. Every ves
sel' in the harbor was cominnally surrounded
with persons l egging for bread. The port i-.
now open. I eannot learn how long their order
is to last, but no charges on cargo or vessel are
now made; -jr.ee which but two vessels have
anived, the brig Eclipse, of Bath, and a brig
Idea Sandwich,'‘which .with (he lumber in the
yaids is sufhcient'fer immediate supi lies. <»a
tin 14th two French frigates, two brigs oi war,
two schooners and a steamboat from Alaitiniqne
an i ved wiih men, who at once set themselves at
woik digging»out the dead, and pulling down
the bioften walls which remained standing.
There are no banks here, and uo panicnlar pla» e
for the deposit of money, each merchant having
hi- iron safe.—The circulation here is doub
loons. dollars and francs.
A large amount of specie liesjun mu under i he
rubbish, and the first nighi, while the rice was
raging no order was talxen to protect it, conse
quently large a mounts were stolen.
< >ne lady lost from her safe one thousand
doubloons and a number "msi less amounts; but
the next morning a strong military guard sur
rounded the city, since which no theft has occur -
red. The storehouses and shops v, ere.u eil Illi

buildings, i- veiy grant. It is" said I L* re is not
a single instance where insurance was effected,
and this has continued as a practice for many
years. The Aloule, a small place fifteen miles
from this, was laid in ruins and many lives were
lost. Basseterre suffered somewhat, hut lost no
live.-. The probability is that Antigua, Moro

earthquake took a N. AV. direction.
