Politics greatly prodominatc in this number of
,be Democratic Review, which is therefore, of
course, not greatly to our taste Even the leading
article, which is professedly review Of Dr.. Chan
nngs works, is mainly sketch, didaclic and MS
,orical, Of Democracy 1t contains many views
,nst are true, noble and eleyatng but these are
50 beadcd with wha, we cannot but regard as per
nicious and false, that the beneficial tendency Of
the whole may well be questioned It's direct pur-
pose seems 10 be TO demonstrate the identity OF
Christianity and Democracy. after the manner OF
Q. A. Brownson-regardng the former merely as
social institution having for i;s sole object the
Improvement Of Man in the mass, without address
ing its words of awe and hope 10 the individual as
such This view, which seems 10 u but infdelity
under very transparent disguise, has of late been
brought forward in various quarters, and urged
with 20 little assurance and ability.
The approaching election, in Maryland and
Massachusetts have given occasion for two high
flown eulogies en the Loco-Foco candidates, Fran
ci, Thomas and Marcus Morton-both of whom
are represented to BE modern Democrats in
whom is no guilc-to have descended from Demo
cratic ancestors, and to be among the most re-
Inarkable men Of their time. 1t will not do how
ever neither Massachusetts Maryland will be
Induced to forcgo her own opinion for that of the

Political Prescription is in the main good
artice-maintaining strenuousy that political opin-
ions should not constitute the ground of removal
from or appointment TO Office, that successful
party should not carry the doctrine of prescription
to its extreme limits, and tha, the present is
favorable period for carrying these opinions into
effect WHY is it, we should like TO know. any
more favorable than the time of Jackson's or Van
Buren's advent to power The Wing party, at
their late triumph, found every Office in the gift Of
the General Government, from the highcs, TO the
lowest, filled with bitter, active, unscrupuous
adhercnt of Van Buren, who If continued in office
is sure to use his power, both personal and official
in shameless and yrulent hostility 10 the dominant
party. When Gen. Jackson came into power, a
fair nuiory of the incumbonts of office throughout
the country were supporters OF his Administration
WHICH of these two case, presents the farcst op
Poytniiy for practising these newly protesscd Prn
cipes Of Loco-t ocoism2 Nothing can be more
disgusting than this universal whine which has been
heard from the Loco-tocos from the day they lost
their power OF which tins article IN the Democratic
Review is in spirit bu, echo.
