REVIEW.

FROM THE NEW York COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
The sc LAST OF THE MoHICANs is a nara
tive work The scene is laid in the neighborhood
Of Lake George and its vicinity-a region unr-
vailed for romantic beauty, wildness, and subj
nifty. 1t commences at that critical con juncture
of the old French war, after Braddock's defeat
at the southwest, when Montcalm was approach
ing Fort William Henry, at the head Of Lake
George, by the way of Lake Champlain and
1lconderoga. The garrison, at this Time was
commanded by the brave, though unfortunate,
Col. Munro, with small garrison, while Gen
Webb, with large force Of provincial and re-
gular troops, occupied the neighboring fortress
of Fort Edward, near the head waters of the
Hudson, The action commences at an early
hour, OF beautiful morning in the Summer of
1857, by the movement of detachment of troops
to reinforce the garrison of William Henry
Two young ladies, it seems, Cora and Alice,
daughters of Col Munro, are to make the same
journey on horseback, attended by a Young,
gallant and accomplished officer, named Hey
ward In order to avoid the delay and inconve-
nience OF following an army, however, the party
purpose to perform the journey by private and
more secluded route, under the guidance of an
Indian, whose subtle and treacherous looks are
not very well liked by the ladies', although their
attendant has no suspicious. His name is Ma

Of the 4th instant. On board the Congress, were
three beautiful sisters, Jewesses from Montreal on

already been stated, that the baggage room with
all its contents, mail and baggage, were crushed
into atoms and dropped in.o The lake in 200 feet

charges were worthy of apprehension, when al
legged by yourselves, why are they not now
Are they more palpsble in their natures and less
inconsistent with the dictates of reason now than
then: Mirror of inconsistencies!' If you will
permit me TO use your own expression hist
you are holding up the " mirror of consistency to

tlcnar direction, and travels only when is encir-
cled by the gloomy curtains OF night they will
certainly abandon YOU
In regard to those charges which YOU alleged
with such malignity of spirit against EIr. Ar
cher, respecting Mr.. Jackson eur next Presi-
dent you have been entirely deceived. Mr.. A
previous TO the last presidential election, might
have said, that MIR. Adams was mis- second choice.
but he never has, / am confident, at AIRY subse-
quent time. been friendly, in the least degree to-
wards MIR. Adams as President; for, the very mode
IN Which he was elected albion ent TO the FEELINGS
OF every man of delicacy.
You remarked, in your satircal anmadv ersions,
"S"'"Se hT. hCher, that OF all other men In the
United States, he thought General Jackson best
qualified for our next President. 1t is true that Mr.
Archer Is at present individually for Gen. jackson;
not that he prefers him TO any other man in the
United States (for he says there are many Others
whom ne would greatly prefer,) but that he is the
only man who can turn out John TIE Pad, (as our
worthy representative in the Senate termed him
He does not contrast Gen. Jacks on with every man
In The United States, but only with Mr. Adams
MI. Archer has the same objections TO Gen J
now as formerly, and prefers him only as .sthe
least o! evils" Ii you will dive-t yourselves of
prejudice, and view Mir. Archer in his proper leht
you will find him, like old Socrates, pursuing the
same course OF mistaken integrity, never taking
into consideration his individual emoiumeni, but
steadias'ly In pursuit OF those principles, which
lend TO dihuse peace, harmony. and prosperity
throughout the oountry-never duped into measures
winch are pernlcious 10 that country which gave
him his nativity, and has reared him to that sta
iion in lie which he now occupies--the same
consistent poliican pursuing those measures
which have benign influence on his country and
reflect credit upon himself--never pretender to
that which he Is not, nor like some OF our fellow
citizens, great sticklers for consistency with
