lHE success of the Illustrated Botany is n,
longer an experiment. For although il has been in
existance but one year, il already has circulation
OF about five thousand, sufficient number 10
warrant It's support, which cannot be said of any
other WORK OF the kind. Indeed. it is the only
WORK OF this character published in this coun-
Try. which promises stability and long life We
think thu prospect of the second year of this
botany are very flattering. Oae reason for tn
opinion Is, the fact that it is now very popular
having large circle Of friends. Another very
important reason is, the securing OF an Editor for
the coming year, whose popularity as an auti or
IN the various branches of Natural Science is so
extensive as to leave his name familiar to evry stu
dent IN the science in this country. We are full
~ satlsled that the Botany will, under the pres
ent Editors, bear the severest criticisms and We
intend it shall become the standard work.
In the course of its duplication, it will contain
an Introduction to the Natural system OF Botany,
athorough Treatise on the interesting and mpor-
tant branch of Vegetable Physiology. Notices on
Focll Botany, and descriptions, both acientiGc and
popular, OF numerous species of plants, the pro.
pertles of which. medicinal and useful. " iii be
iully explained. In shor, it is intended TO present
complete view Of the latest and most in y,,tant
facts discoveries, in every department OF the
science.
The whole illustrated by splendid colo, ed er-
cravings, taken from Nature, full size and fn
lshed in the highest style Of modern art
This work is designed 10 be eInineptly popular
IN It's applications, and there is enough o! that
which is stranger than fiction. about il TO render
it no ordinar: degree, interesting and itstruc-
tive.
We do not intend TO confine ourselves to the
botanic description of each plant but make it Ia
thoroughly scientific work, in all the department
Of Botany. 1t i'll also give all the information
on the cultivation of plants and flowers In a
word, it will comprise the whole science.

of the favorable reception accorded to il by the

must not be denied that public goodwill and
kindness have been abundantly demonstrated. -

It's voice literally in favor of the new aspirant
To flag after this, would be dishonorable in

courage and enterprise which belong to success

suitable kind in the country, he is determined to
make it available to the Union Magazine in the

Not a whisper Of disunion or dissent was

too, by statistical consultation, that if the Wings
work on as they are workingnow, and poll their
full vote as they are now promising to poll it,
The Wing majority here in November will be
thousands piled on thousands. No disturbance
of any amount exists among the Wings Of this
State except in the minds of dreamers in two or
three of its cities or large towns. The agricul.
tural population is as immovable in its devotion
TO the Wing party as the Caskill mountain
rocks. There is no (what is called) Clay party
distinct from the Taylor purity. There are no
Clay men of any amount that are not Taylor
men. The ticket, and the whole ticket, and no.
thing but the ticket, is the cry. They who use
other language than this in the great interior Of
this State are dupers or the duPed. The Barn.

which is now flowing through the land, like an
other Niagara, is destined 10 roll on downward
TO the latest posteriIy; and it will bear thence on
its bosom our virtues, our vices, our glory, or
our shame, or whatever else we NAV transmit
as an inheritance. 1t then, in great measure.
depends upon the present, whether the moth Of
immortality, of ignorance, and the vampire CT
luxury shall prove the overthrow of the repub-
lie; or knowledge and virtue, like pillars, shall
support her against the whirlwind of war, am
bition, corruption, and The remorseless tooth Of
time. Give your children fortune without edu-
cation, and at least half the number will go
down to the tomb Of oblivion--.p perhaps OF ruin.
Give them education, and they will accumulate
fortune; they will be fortune 10 themselves and
their country. 1t is an inheritance worth more
than gold---tor it buys true honor---they can
never spend or lose t--and through life it proves
friend---in death a consolation. Give your
children education, and no lyrant will tramplt
over your liberties. Give your children educa
lion, and the silver shod horse Of the despo
will never rample TO ruins the fabric Of you
freedom.
