iigeRas. TAis makes tive s0meEsc,s, and ns wonder Ihai he comes out such hoasFmr ia politickss- Bless mo- read the whole of the edisoglal mater the Iirsl number of the New England Review, one would be constrained to acknowledge that Mr G. D Prentice is daub at book making bat that he holds the pea of a ready writer, beating good friend Wells all hollow; and not only so, but VIC should sup pose from hts first article that the milk of political kindness would flow from his columns tn copiOus efu- sOns,-hear what he says in his opening address :- "We do not believe that talents are confined to any political party, or that integrity ofpurpOse has become a monopoly. Among political opponents there are men whom we hold tn the highest estimation for ther private virtues and their capacity for the dis charge Ofpubc dutles and we hope thatwe may new CT, even In the unconscious warmth of earnest dis cusslOn permit ourselves to detrac from their proper merits."
 Five columns of various matter inervened between the two extracts above otherwise they must have ex- 1 pioded by too near approach of such opposites.- Thank you Mir. Editor, for your kindness, unless the above was written in fit of hypochOndria, sn which
 like Johny Randolph you thought yourself dying, and was disposed to make peace with your old friends.- 1t IS however the very doctrine have ever advoca- l ted, and we are fortunate that any circumstances could induce you to stamp upon the first number ot your paper so choice confession. When we read the above. we could scarcely rerain from seizng pen and paper, and inSbig letters recording, new aux Hilary to the good cause ]" and more especially when by the head we found that the whole of New Eng ] land was to be brought under the Weekly Review of the editor, in every state of which, except the land of steady habs" the demon of party was buried some eight or ten the very grave of which is CT visited but for the purpose of smoking the pipe of l friendship over it. But prosed on, we found that the editor waxed hotter he grew better until
 u his last article he delivered of the extract first close in these words:-
 have no wish to revive political asperities. So far as the National politIcks question, Federal has ceased to exist, and given place to other and later dstlnctons-but in Connecticut the terms Dem- ocrat and Federal are not without their meanlng.- The tories of the last war, yet among us. They may have mended their manners-but their principles are not disaVowed. Their troops arc not diSbanded "a single whistle from few leaders, and the whole phalanX of federalism will be in array shoulder 50 shoulder. Their pretence is "no party"-but they cease not to cry out day and night, against dipduats m omce They profess no gpne' ct hostility to Repub-
 can'sm, but denounce in turn every old school Dems ocrat m the state. When the proper season arrives they will make one more united effort for power and that tune may soon arrive Every renegade Federals now in office will surely aid their exertions. We should rejoice to this trial, if the whole force o the state could be brought to the balot-boxes There have been 30 many juggling attempts to blot out the o'd party lines, that we wish them again dstnctl, drawn.'
 "I have deemed it my duty to say thus mucl," &c "l feel better now" Glad the editer don't sa, 'oe, because, being democrat" we should feel mos heartily ashamed to be considered one ot the numbe which would make the plural.
 Fl shine by my own light and mark my course, My steps more dreadful than the thunder's torce" Don RhodesIck. One word of caution to the edtor which we vii give, hit or miss; and nearly in his own words. 1 this IS the way you intend to push your pen, and i these are the doctrines of your party, you will soor "again be grinding in the prison house, and thes, | meek humble minded, advocates of "no party," vii teach lyou that they in fact the ruling party" l We once asked Mir. Gideon Wells to condescend tt hand down to us fron the lofty political eminenc, which he occupied, correct account of the erclsip principles he was so vaiantly contending for He le off solid column upon the subject, the whole amour ot which,with the exception of the hackned phrase Adams federalism and Jackson democracy" miph have been comprehended by little word of two syila bles, or enclosed within the circle of simple 0. w, now ask the same favor of Mr. George D. Prentice and since he is a zealous Adams man, we Ratter our selves shall gain some light upon the subject. Te be fair with him, state that we do not faer'' a the name of Democrat;'' we are Democratic" {, | the back bone, and always have been and we ar,
 abouring with all our feeble powers for the genera diffusion of correct democratic cples-hence ou zeal against legislative caucusses, and the whole cal of caucus dicators and caucus arsocrats-ourf friend ship for dstrictDg, and known love for govern ment of the peoples choice. Tell us Mr. [" Review what in your opinion constitutes good Democrat I-how much fight must man show in order to b, considered true blue, and we will reciprocate tn,
 kindness as occasions may require.
