LITERARY NOTICE.


Amer lean Reriem, February, 1915.
We beg pardon Of the publishers and of our
readers for not having noticed this Journal be-
fore, But. late as it is, we congratulate The
Wing party upon the accession OF so valuable
an auxiliary in the defence and PRONUNCIATION Of
the great principles upon which it rest its claims
to the National support. We have long needed
such an organ, and now more than ever. Our
principles we believe to be the true ones by
which American Statemen should be guided,
and essential to the national prosperity. But
unfortunately they are not possessed of that loco
motire power. for which those of our opponents
are so remarkable. If we wish them maintain.
ed, we must have them fairly and authoritative.
ly set forth we must tell the people what we
propose TO do and ask them to help us. And
there is no better way to do this than through
the pages Of a Journal of sufficient scope to EN-.
bracc-wlth discussions OF other topics of lite.
rary and scientific character-a series of well
digesled and permanently valuable papers upon
political subjects, aud issued with sufficient FIRE.
1ucncy to seize upon and discuss these subjects
at the appropriate TIM. What ever may be
said for the daily and weekly press in other re.
spec,s, they look little to method or complete
ness. They may excite the faithful, but they do
little towards confirming the wavering, in con.
vcrting those who are in error. 1t is by a full,

the subject Al issue, that we may produce an effect
which will be fcl. when they come TO do their
voting. The Democracy understand this point
well. They understand when TO strike, and by
a seasonable blow or two through the "Demo.
cratic Review" they swcetened the bitter pill
of Texas to the palates of Northern Democrats,
and secured Mr.. Folks election. To be sure we
can say nothing for the fairness with which they
treated the question (for we never read ranker
hvpocrisv) hut what of that Texas went down,
NJ. Polk up, and Mr.. A.. II. Everett to whose
j~esuitism the party are indebted for success will
be permitted 10 sop his sponge in the pap of the
Treasury. We do not overestimate the impor.
lance of such a publication and we ask our Wing
friends in this quarter to lend their aid in pro-
noting IFS efficiency. The Editor, Air. Cotton
has shown hlmself competent 10 lis management
