Indeed it is a subject of vast import lu look into the "source" ol these evils, and one which iiifiguilies in imporinnce the mure it is viewed. Yet man need not truvul out ot hiiuseli to find it.

From llie Circleville American. THE PRESIDENCY. It ii now six months since the Whigi of Ohio convened for the ourooee of enibodvinir and iriv- expreti.on to their sentiment relative to the selection of a suitable candidate for President of the United States. That expression was uttered spirit of frankness and conciliation. While it maintained lb at the people ol UUio had lull confidence in the integrity, capacity, and public ser-vicesof their own luvurite fellow citizen, it at the Isnme lime was conceded, that should another citizen embody a stronger oxureuion of the voice of the Whigs ot me nut ion, tnose oi unio wouiu foreu Pw'wm tl citiien be he Irom the IN or Hi, the couth, the East or the West a cordial and energetic sup port. Ihe better to arrive at the true and fair results in relation to the popular preference, so desirable on all hands, a National Convention tviw proposed. So far, then, as the Whim of Ohio are concern ed, they stand absolved from all charge of iirtpu- such narrow incentives. Their proposal for a National Convention, hus been responded to only by their breihren of Vermont. In view of this state of the facts, we conceive it to be not only proper and right, but an imperative duty devolved me wmg preai oi unio, iu -art a out." we yield to the impulse and this week display out banner. I'ns we do in no spirit of copiousness porverse obstinacy. Whatever motive may have actuated the Whigs in other parts of the country, it was due in Ohio, and to the poaiiion she occupied in reference to this question of great nnd common interest, that her propositi should have received an early and respectful consideration. The most plausible reason we can assign for the protruded silence of other States, is, that they concur in the preference expressed in Ohio; id t lie re lure deum a National Convention un necessary, liut bo the reason what it may, it behooves the Whigs ul UMo to speak in less "nn,.?880, pretereiica i clear y lor HARRISON; end this preference will only be surrendered to a clear demonstration of a Wronger attachment on the p.irl ol the Whigs, generally, to some other candidate, When such demonstration shall have been made, we shall hold ourselves st liberty to uae a sound discretion in adopting tbe preference so indicated.

We cannot see how any unprejudiced American, who cherishes in his breast a grateful feeling towards a pithlio benefactor, eau call in quea-lion the truth of the character given M Mr. Clav, in the reaoltiiion. He ia a public benefactor. Il, line made great eacrifinea for his country, and wo are sorry to add, that country haa not propcrlv rewarded hia tervicca. He haa long been a victim of calumny and detraction, snd it is time that returning Justice should again assert his claims on ublic confidence. Still we cannot withhold the opinion, that there is a distinguished citizen of Ohio, who has also "done the State some service," ana wno has a stronger bold on the anections ol the people, than Mr. Clay. That ha is competent for the situation, a lame body of the people have said in language plain and distinct: and whatever may uo uur inaiviuuai preierencea, wo in inn n i not to be disguised, that very many will be dia- ppointea should that citizen not be put in nomi nation.

Our law, wo believe, is technically divided into common or unwritten law, and statutory or writ- en law, by common or unwritten law, we un-eraland a rule of action which derives its authori ty front long usage, or established custom ; and this branch of the municipal law is contained in the records of courts of justice, in judicial decisions, and in books of re port i. Bv statutory or written law, we undcrstat.d an established and permanent rule prescribed or enacted by the legislature, pro- muigcu and recorded in writing, and announcing to the citizens of the State, what is to direct their ghis and duties in future. Law thus prescribed. ccomes not only the guide of all those officers who are authorized toadmimsterit, but o' sll those citizens upon whom it is to operate. The great and increasing number of the volumes of law reports, necessarily renders a knowledge of the com mon luw a laoonous acquisition, and confines u to the members of the legal profession. But these circumstances do not obtain in regard to the sta tutory law. The public statutes of thisSiatenow in force are chiefly embraced in an octavo volume of itiodcrato size; vet they constitute the whole nouy ot our criminal law, regulate me procedure of uur courts of justice, and guide or control the common law in a multitude of instances, both in regard to persons end property. It is important therefore, tor a variety ot the most oovious and cogent ress ms, that a prompt and full publication of tho statutory laws should be made, after each session of the legislature, for the information of II those who ore embraced within their scops, es pecially ns statutes take effect in this country im mediately irom the time ol their date or paasage. unless it be otherwise expressly enacted, and need no promulgation to ffive ihem operation. That legislative assembly which enacts a law atTectinir either property, liberty, or life, without taking care to notify it to the people who are expected to obey it does not merely neglect en important du v, but actually violates the rights, and inlrtngea upon the liberties of the citizen. A more odious exercise of power cannot be conceived, than that Ihe leuisiaiure snoiiid pass pruhihitory and penut laws, without adopting adequate measures to make them Known to all ihoso whose property or lives may be affected thereby. Its parallel can only be found in the conduct of the tvroni Caliguln, who is said to hnve inscribed his laws upon tables, in small characters, and to have suspended these ta bles upon pillars so high as to render the writing m lliiible lo the people. In this State, leu-islation has been excessively abundant and fluctuating. There have alresdy been hve gcnerul revisions ot the whole body ot the statutory low, in addition lo ihe great variety of enactments made every year. This instability of leg slation is considered a crying evil, even by the members ol the r rolcssion. A statute scarce ly receives a settled construction by llie courts, and becomes known to the people, before it is cither repealed or amended; hence it is extreme- ly difficult for lawyers, nnd impossible for oilier persons, to keep themselves tamillisr witn m statute law. But the sin of commission, on th part of the General Assembly, is triflinu compare' wilh its sin of omission. No adequate measures smve ever been adopted for the promulgation of nie laws; and, in tins respect, we are tar uemnu England in the rude periods of her legislation i nert, it was me amy ot the inenns to moke proclamation in their respective counties, of the acts ol Parliament, in the most public manner; here. is the practice to publish the laws in pamphlets in sufficient number to supply the publio officers, to whom only they are furnished, while private per sons are left to become acquainted wiih the law sa they may. And this limited publication ist tardily executed by the Secretary of State, to whom it belongs to publish the laws, that luey are not distributed in the counties remote iron Columbus, until some time alter they take effect, even in those cases where the statutes go into op eration at a future day. Courts of justice conse quently make erroneous decisions, snd special b gislation is invoked to rectify the mistakes thus committed. Common sense, and common justice to the common people, require that the statutes should not only be published in pamphlets for ihe information of those functionaries wno are called to administer ihem, but also in one or more news papers published in each county, lor the inlormi liuu uf ilia citiztiiis ireiiernllv. The laws will tin be mode accessible lo all those who seek to be come informed uf the passing events of the da1 and tins mode ol publishing the laws is recom mended by the example ol many of our steter Males. This subject has already received some atten tion in the remarks of a lew editors who have re commended this mode of publishing the statutes and we hope it may be pressed upon the con aid era uo ii of the Uenerai Aaaembiy, until sucn mode of publication be adopted.

Exploring Expedition. Th last news from Florida ought to be enough to satisfy any person of the inexpediency of prosecuting farther a war which originated in injustice, and the proirress ot which hat been marked at every step with defeat and disgrace a war which is estimated to cost the nation $70,000 per dsy, and the ends ul which, If ever attained, can have no value proportionate to the treasure and life which they will have cost. 1 he following suggestion of an incidental ad vantage growing oul of the Honda war, reminds us of theatory nf runaway apprentice, who being caught by Ins master In hit night, when he had got tome diut-n miles off, and brought back to hit work, held up hit head among hia shop mates wilh the boast that " Ac hod Men Ihe country."

For an outline of the plan upon which the proposed publication is to be conducted, be Editors. The size of The Hespebian will be royal work will be printed on paper of superior oualitv. with new and beautiful type, of the long primer, bourgeois and brevier sizes. A number will be published on the first day of each month, containing from eighty to ninety octavo pages of letter-press, of the sizo of ',iis pamphlet, well covered, stitched and trimmed, so as to make two handsome volumes a-year or five hundred pagst each. Tho annual subscription will be Five Dollart, payable at the beginning of the year: the work to be mailed punctually for subscribers, done up in substantial wrappers, and forwarded to any post-office in the Union to which it may be ordered. As ho has embarked in an expensive and laborious undertaking, with a determination to do everything for its successful accomplishment which individual industry and enterprise can do, the Publisher earnestly but respectfully solicits the co-operation, especially in tho matter of procuring subscribers and making remittances, of the r nends ol Literature and wholesome Intellectual culture througnout tne Mississippi Valley. It is dosirable that the names of subscribers bo returned by tho first of April coming.

All letters containing subscriptions, or otherwise relating to the business department of the work, must be directed to the undersigned. JOHN D. NICHOLS, PubMer, Columbus, Ohio. Citt or Columbus, January, 1838. EDITORS' The importance and usefulness of periodical works, devoted to General Literature and Science, are acknowledged in all educated and intelligent communities. such publications, when proporly conducted, form a sort of neutral ground, where individuals ol all political parties, all re- igious denominations, all scientific pur suits, and all literary tastes, miv meet together in perfect amity, and find some thing each which shall entertain, or amuse, or instruct, or at leant beguile an occasional hour which might else pass heavily or in surruw. in una c'jumry, esHjciiiuy in the newer sections of it, tho excitements of party, tho turmoil of chango, and the incentives to gain, so engross the attention and employ the timo oi' the mass of the people, that efforts to crcute an interest in Bullcs-Lcttres are often entirely overlooked, or regarded with tho most discouraging inuitterence. Notwithstanding, however, tho force of this fact, and the admonitions of experience, the undersigned have consented to take upon themselves the Edito rial supervision of a Periodical to bo devoted to tho interests uf General Literature and Science. They ducm the lime auspicious for the commencement of such an undertaking, and rego rd tho point fixed upon lor the place ol publication, as ntlord- ing facilities lor rendering such a work interesting and useful, unsurpassed by those oi but lew cities in tho Union. Of the various Literary Periodicals which have, during tho past ten or twelve years, ben projected and for a time published in the West, not one now survives. They have all, after a struggle of a very few years, been compelled to undergo some change in which their original character was lost, or ilictl outright of a fit of nnn-patronage. The West is therefore without a literary Representative, in our national Republic of Letters. It is true we have hero and there well-conducted weekly papers of literary pretensions: but they are small and of limited circulation, and from necessity employ but a very little amount of tha talent of this region. A large, respected, and cntlitablo reflector of the literary light of the West, we have not; and it is with a view of supplying this deficiency, ttint the present work has been projected. In thut immense region of country comprised within tho Stales of Ohio, Kontucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Michigan, Religion, Sci ence and PoIUici, have their appropriate ad vocates and expounders; but tho Uellet-Lel mare without any sufficient chriniict,tlir' which their claims upon public attention can bo mndo Known, and by which they may mnnilcst their tranquillizing, and elo- vaiing, and refining influences. This ia not so in other sections of the Union it ought not so to be here: and if the enter prise in which we aro about to embark, roceivo from the western community that consideration to which it seems to us it is entitled, the West, as well as tho South and the Bust, shall soon have a represuu- tativo ot us literary character. In reflecting upon tho speedy mortality which has attended all literary attempts in this part of tho United Sln'o.s, where men of almost universally acknowledged education, acquirements nnd talents, have most signally failed in their efforts to croato and supply a taste and an nnnotito for periodical literature, we aro forced to ono of two conclusions: either that tho People of lhn Wost lack tho cultivated tasto, general intelligence, and public spirit, to appreciate and sustain a wholosomc and an entertaining liternture; or, that tho works winch hnve been attempted hero, have not boon sulficioiitly rartout in char acter, to suit tho diversified tastes and wants of a community so hetcrogenooitsly constituted as is tho population of the States abovc-nnmcd. Porhaps both of those causes originally contributed to tho ill-success of periodicals among us, The former, however, c:tiinot with justice be said to exist now. Wo lliorcluro adopt the Ittttor : and wo proviso to supply, what is undeniably a desideratum now in tho West, a Literary Periodical of ample size, and extensive enough in its rnngo of subjects, to mnko it a source of entertainment, instruction nnd general information, io nil classes of cultivated readers. Tho bettor to effect this object, the New Mngnxino will comprise, in addition to tho usual Original Contents of such works, a Select Miscellany of General Literature.

GENERAL LITERATURE, Srlrrt. refers to the accompanying Circular of the octavo, two columns to the page. The CIRCULAR. der contribution, and a due regard bo had to variety. For the Original department will be exerted the commanding talents of the gentlemen hereinafter named, and of several others who rank among the best miscellaneous writers in the United states. Science and Art will therefore always find their appropriate places in tho pages of i he Hesperian popular jMiucanon ana sound Morality will receive due attention the History, Kesources, Literary Insti. tutions and General Statistics of the West, will claim more or loss space every month and the whole will be agreeably diversified with Tales, Essays, and Poetry. Tho Critical department of The Hespe rian, will be somewhat more full than is common to magazines in this country; and to all literary aspirants who may appear before the tribunal of tho Editors, they will endeavor, without fear or favor, to mete out "equal and exact justice." Though not belonging to thosa carping mortals who are lorover judging American productions by European standards, and condemning tho elTorts of beginners most ly because they lull short ol the excellen ces ol practiced pens and matured intel lects, yet, they claim very little fellow ship with those editorial scribes who are so very amiable as to behold, in every neagnng poe'aster wno transmits them copies of his verses in morocco and gold, a young Milton or Popo, and a young Scott or Bulwer in every aspirant who manages toaiscnarge ms inkstand and paper-drawer of a couple of volumes fiction per year. 1 here is much and great literary talent in our country, which deserves more en couragement and consideration than it generally receives: there is also a ureal deal of pretension, which is indebted for ull the success with which it meets, to the impudence of its possessors, and the over amiable disposition alluded to above. To give encouragement to that, by pointing out its beauties and dwelling upon Us mer its, and to dispense justico to this, by de noting its defects and animadverting upon its unworthincss, will be considered an im portant Vy; and as an evidence that it will be fenrlesslvanrl ininiiriinllvflianhnrrv. rd, one of tho Editors points to his past connection with periodical literature. From the following list of regular and occasional contributors lo the Original do partment of The Hesi-eriax, the public can form a pretty correct idea of the character and quality of Iho reading matter which will appear in its pages from month to month.
