THE AMERICAN REVIEW A Wing Journal of
Politics, Literature, Art and Science. New
York George Fl Cotton, is Nassau street.
We have received the January number
of this very able and popular work, and we
have seldom been more interested and graft
fed than in its pernsal, During the three
years in which the Review has been pub,
lished, Mr.. Cotton has proved himself album
dainty capable of conducting this great ex.
ponent Of Wing principles, to the satisfac-
ton of all. The work takes broad grounds.
Keeping aloof from the ephemeral and petty
contests of the day, it discusses with extra
ordinary vigor and power the great questions
on which the Wing and Democratic parties
differ. Candid in its arguments, digniied
in its language, and ever faithful and fear.
less in its advocacy of Wing doctrines and
Wing measures, it should receive the pat
ronage and perusal ofevery true Wing.
DENlsoN's BEST BowER.--We have re-
ceived several numbers of beautifully
printed sheet bearing the above title, pub
lished at Boston by the Rev. G. w. Dcnison,
and devoted to the cause of Scamen. Some
time since, as our readers will recollect,
we copied an article from a Boston paper
rejecting severely against the Christian
character and standing of Mr.. Denson. We
were soon after assured Cy Mr.. Hawkins,
the celebrated temperance lecturer, that Mr..
ID. had been most unjustly sssailed; and
we have since received copy of his ''De-
fence" which we have given an attentive
perusaf. That he has been the subject of
bitter and unrelcnting persecution inStiga-
ted by Elder Colver and Deacon Howe, is
made palpable ty Mr.. DPS pamphlet; and
by recent numbers of his Best Bower we
perceive determination on his part to bring
his enemies to the test of thorough ex-
animation. This is right. A good cause
has nothing TO fear from exposure.
Mr.. Denison is widely known as a gem
tleman of literary taste and talents, as well
as popular advocate of several of the phi
lanthropic reforms of the day. He is now
the pastor of the Independent Bethel in
Boston. His paper is ably conducted and
we'll calculated to do good to the class of
men for which it is especially designed.
