To select from an equal and connected nsaes:of so
lunch meiit and interest, would be a very difficult and
useless task. To hum an ac..quate idea of she siosk,

With regard to WASHINGTON; we think the Anther
has do.ie wrong in omitting all allusion,

eight, to the greatest blemish which perhaps; 'per
stained his character : having been himself t. e key ;o
the great padlock of national liberty, after having
Flaked so much and suffered so much in its battles, at
length succ,eding in rendering America the asylum of
,the oppressed, himself the scourge of the oppressor,
au List all his ardour in the cause of freedom, did he

end most abject bondage I—he was a slave holder.
We would particularly direct the notice of our
Readers, in the firmer part of the toleme. to the expose
of the coalition, between CLAY and ADAK%
The empty vanity and syMptoms of real designs,
evinced in the message of the latter to the Russian Ca-
binet on the affairs of the Mexican States, are also well
delineated.
" In private life he seems anxious to hide his pas-
sions under the mast of republican carelessness, and a
iertain nonchalance. His countenance betrays a cold
ambitious mind, his dark eye exhibits the heartless
diplomatist." •

sense, conveys an idea of every thing that is socal,
witty, and engaging in English manners ; the sub•
jest, therefore, is one from which much entertainment
might have been anticipated, nor have we been dip.

best of the sort that the present season lus pieduced.—.
The anecdotes in the first volume, many of which have
already appeared in the Neer Monthly Magaziae, are
full of pleasantry. The second -volume treats of the
origin, customs, and the most celebrated members of
various Clubs; annoirg these the Beef Steak Club cloinits
particular notice, not only on account of its antiquity,
but for the many eminent names that have graced -its
list of members. Let- not this venerable instststiotv be
