We recommend a little paper published in Providence, The Plain Speaker, to the attention of those who, instead of wishing to close their eyes to every movement not quite congenial to their tastes and views, think that nothing which busies the heart of man is foreign to them, and that very crude thought may be worth attention from pure lips and a sincere soul. The numbers we have seen give clearer indications than most printed papers of the under-current of feeling among our people. Of their views of the uses of life the following lines by one of the contributors may serve as an index; may they be true to such desires for individual growth! we will then consider them Radicals not in the way of cutting away the root of the fair tree of civilization, but as striving to clear from it the earthworms, which, if left undisturbed, would drain life at the source.
