have the fact openly confirmed—the
purse of the nation is at the disposal of
the President!! The officer whom
Congress had placed -over it not being
the Secretary of Congress, he is the
Secretary depending on the President

From Poulson’s American Paily Advertiser
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
There is an itching on the part of
some of our public journalists, to re
commend some favorite as a candidate
for the Presidency. One man proposes
Col. Johnson, another Mr. McLean,
both a'e wrong. It has been well ob
served by M. M. Noah, that “our
hous■: is on fire.—when we extinguish it
ice can talk of a tenant." There is a
deal of good sense in this remark. Be
sides, we ought to kn nv, what the form
of our government is to be—whether
a rmnarchy, or a republic. When this
question is decided, we shall then be
able to look out for a King or a Presi
dent, as the case may be.
If the former be decided on then An
drew the first would he as good a cati
didate for an absolute monarch ns any
we could find; but if the litter—if we
are to retain the name of a republic j
—then a very different choice must be j
made. . t |
But the first thing to he clone is to
extinguish the fire The flames are
spreading rapidly, and the temple of
liberty is in the utmost danger. Let

grey heads, to make room for partizans
and what they wanted in quality, they
made up in quantity; and tins they call
Jackson reform. In the Prodigal’s
times the expenses of the Government
had been thirteen millions, now they j
were twenty-two millions. . He Could
not stand such economy. There was
no sense in it. In his part of the
country it would not even be called
good nonsense. He believed they had
clerks enough; he was for making no
new ones. The gentleman from Ken
tucky, (Mr. Hardin,) had said a good
deal about their being so fat &. sleek,
but to him they looked more like fam
ine. But this was the consequence of
letting one inaif wield the destinies of
the government. That was not what
our lathers shed their blood for.

Every number will contain forty-eight

when without it, he would be wholly
unable to procure them. A book that
will cost us six dollars to import, can
be rc-printed and distributed to subseri
bers, owing to our peculiar facilities
for about 20 or 30 cents, with the i/n
portant addition of its being fresh and
new.
We will give nearly 2500 pages an

injury to any of the others; or it may
be bound up at the pleasure of the sub

To Purents, Teachers and School Com
mittees, and all who feel an Interest in
tlie Improvement of Youth.
T is not yet quite a year since Par
ley’s Magazine was commenced,
tirin" that short period the number of
subscribers has increased to 20,000,
and the work has received, every
where, the most unqualified approba
tion. It has found its way to thousands
of families, and while it has entertain
ed the social circle, its unobtrusive lea-
I
sot»9 have, we trust, often had a salu
tary influence on the juvenile mind and
heart. It has also found its way to the
school room; and many classes of
young pupils have been cheered twice
a month by the welcome voice of the
teacher bidding them to lay aside, for a
few davs, the class hook which 'hey
have read over and over, perhaps twen
ty times, and read the pages < f Par
ley’s Magazine. The demand for tlie
work, to be used in schools, is rapidly
increasing.
Encouraged by such unexampled
success, the Publishers have resolved
to render it still more worthy of so lib
eral a patronage; and not to remit their
exertions till they see it introduced into
families and schools, throughout the
whole length and breadth of the United
States.
In this view they have secured new
aid in the Editorial department. The
late Editor of the Juvenile Rambler,
who, in addition to his qualifications as
a write*- for the young, has the advan
tage of manv years experience as a
Teacher, will henceforth assist in con
ducting it.
We propose to present, in tlie pro
gress of each volume, a great variety
of interesting and important topics, a-
mong which are the following
I. Natural History—Of beasts,
birds, fishes, reptiles, insects; plants,
flowers, trees; the human frame, Sic.
II. Biography—Especially of the
young.
III. Geography—Accounts of pla
ces, manners, customs, See.
IV. Travels and Voyaces, in va
rious parts of the woyld.
V. Lively Descriptions of the Cu
riosities of Nature and Art,—in each
of the United States, and in other coun
tries.
VI. Less o v s on On.iF.cTs that daily
surround Children in the Parlor, N ur
sery. Garden, Sic. Accounts of Trades,
and Employments.
VII. Particular Duties of the
Young—to Parents, Teachers, Broth
ers, Sisters. See.
VIII. Bible Le ssovs and Stories.
IX. Narratives—Such as arc well
authenticated—Original Tales.
X. Pararles, Fables, and Pro-
verrs, where the moral is obvious and
excellent
XI. Poetry—Adapted tothe Youth
ful capacity and feelings.
XII. I ntelligencf,—Embracing ac
counts of Juvenile Books. Societies,
and Remarkable Occurrences.
Many of these subjects will he illus
trated by numerous and beautiful en
gravings, prepared by the host artists,
and selected not only with a view to «-
dorn the wprk, hut to improve the taste,
cultivate tlie mind, and raise the aftee-
tions of the young to appropriate and
worthy objects. We would make them
better children, better brothers, better
sisters, better pupils, better associates,
and, in the>eqd, better citizens.
We beg the friends ofeducation—
especially parents and teachers, to view
the matter in this light. Let children
look upon the pictures, not as pictures
merely; but let them he taught to stu Iy
them. What can be more rich in val
uable materials for instructive lessons
than a good engraving?
After this brief explanation of our
principles and purposes, we ask the co
operation of all who receive this Circu
lar. Will you aid us, by your influ
ence in this great work—the formation
of mind and character for the rising
generation? Will you assist us all in
your power, in our endeavors to intro
duce to American schools, and parlors,
and firesides, the stories and lessons of
Parley V Magazine ?
Every single number of the new vol
ume will have a strong paper cover,
abundantly sufficient to preserve the
work in good order for binding, and lot*
use in schools.
The yearly subscription being but
one dollar, our friends will perceive the
impracticability of keeping open so ma
ny thousand accounts. It is therefore
indispensable that we should require
payment always in advance.
Two numbers more will close tho
first year, and we now give this notico
that all who desire to continue the Mag
azine, may signify their intention by a
seasonable advance for the second
year.
If any of the subscribers should not
receive all their numbers, they can re
quest the Post Master to notify us of
such as are missing, and they shall b«
sent again free of charge.
