in that science would perceive at glance that Mr.
Woodbury. is as good Secretary as he can be. Alas
His blunders nseparabe from his physical organza
ton The ablest paper in the number is discussion
Of the Northeastern boundary question, from the pen
of the Hon Caleb Gushing, of Massachusetts. The
views OF Mr. Gushing correspond with those entertained
and heretofore enforced by this journal OF course
we disapprove Of the general politics Of the Review
but we cannot help admirng the talent and enterprise
OF the propretors. The charge Of one Of our contem

were the "hirengs Of the government" we happen to
know is untrue So scrupulous was one Of the editors
unnecessarily So we thnk-that before he embarked
in the Review he resigned situation in the War De-
