The History of the memorable Expedition OF
frrps written by Xenophon, the gallant soldier
1 nd accomplished writer, will never cease 10 be
.ad as one of the most laultless of the class OF
,,,ss to which it belongs. The simplicity, pu-
., and beauty Of the style especially adapt 1t TO
+, rse OF schools, and it has therefore always
ven and probably viii long continue TO be, one
,r,5e earliest text books put INTO the Greek stu
,,,ps hands. This new Edition, by Mr.. OWEN,
assesses many superioyilies to those in general
NO Mr.. Owens long and successful experience
,teacher has enabled him to prepare large
,sUsction OF notes which cannot lal! to be OF the
t,hgst service Especial attention is very justly
,Gd to the grammatical nicetics OF construction
which must be thoroughly mastered before The
,mbcr can be properly read. The Greek type is
,,.y clear and distinct, aid the whole typogra-
.by Of the volume, like all from the press Of Mr..
TIow, is very beautiful.

To the Editc, Of he Tribune;
send you superb specimen of Nect"incS,
nssd by Samuel Stevens, Esq, at Astoria, ~
Y. 1t has been examined and admired by twenty
rsreos from different parts Of the country this
n,rpiug. Two Of these gentlemen had lived in
England for many years and visited the Con
nent of Europe, and every one declared that it
S the largest and richest fruit of the kind they
aver saw. The measure of it is I inches round
The ends and II inches round The middle; weight
Il ounces.
also send you a letter from Mr.. IIavens con-
tanning pair Of rhite Cotton ClOueS bought Of
the retail dealer. OF course one or more profit
has been paid and they must also have paid "a
small duty in the country they came from. The
retail price you will sec is 3 cents pair. Hand
some gloves, fit for gentleman to wear at fash
ionable soiree, at 3 cents pair! 1t no doubt will
be asked how are these foreigners enabled to do
this The question is easily solved. Free Trade,
hard money and direct taxes have brought labor
TO or cents per day. Shall we adopt the same
policy? 1t will certainly bring us to the same
blessed condition These gloves at nothing would
be dear TO us. They would discourage our labor
which is our life. 1t would be Just about as much
Of a favor if when we had good dinner prepared
cue should offer to cat it for us for nothing.
Yours. T. B. WAKEMAN.
2. S. intend to get and send YOU (; pair Of
German woolen stockings sold, as am informed,

The consideration of wool growers and stocking

Their people the privilege of Free Trade with this
country.
Toth Editor The Tribune
read a short chapter in Fridays Evening
Post on Quotations by Monticello-who cvi-
denay belongs to the genus Abstractionist-
wherein he informs the rising generation that
lhe Declaration Of Independence does not say that
All men are born free and Equal;' but simply
declares that" all men arc crcated equal" He
complains that certain scrbbers arc in the habit
o'quoting the former phrase, and arguing upon
such an assumption, and continues by saying
that "Ihe Author of that immortal document
was not such a niiaY as to assert that all men
were born free" He merely intended to say
That all men were created with an cqnaJity of'
HshtS." agree with him that when quotations
afs introduced they should be given rcrbatim Ell
hicra''m, et spet!atim. But nc wosld mdouht-
stIy confer still farther benefit on the rising
generation by explaining The csScntial difference
eaween being torn free and created equal. =
Mme arc created with the right Of Freedom ;
and, II all are crcatedcquai, are not all born free
