Brovvnson's Review.

Typography are perfection, while its contents are
among the most vigorous outpourings OF the au-

radically and totally, from icost OF his practical
politics-we are sure he does not truly under
stand the aims Of the Wing party, the effects Of
the Protective System, or the character OF NIT.

him, for the uprising Of the depressed, and the

We trust, therefore, that the generous and lnqulr-

sreqular nominations of which Mr.. Y. g. is the
masterspirit that the Review justly and iorcib!y
Opposes, as fatal to all manly Freedom, to all ec-
waited Public Morality, to all genuine Progress,
regarding the restoration Of its periecter to the
Presidency as severe National calamity.
But we have not room to speak of this article
to day and, indeod, its spirit and scope may be
inferred from tho following extract from the H.
troductory article, in which, after avowing that
he is not now Democrat, as that term is used,
but Constitutional Republican, Mr.. Brownson
proceeds

political theory, which derives all power from the
