circulation in various parts ofthe United states,
and its subscription list is fast increasing. As
the work Is pretty generally known, II IS unne-
cessary to say much, at this time, in elucida-

it, and devise plan for its final and complete
extinguishment in this Republic. But he finds
il impossible to give, in so small a compass, AS
detailed view Of the subject as its Importance
