The SACRED POETS OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA FOR
THREE CENTURIES: Edited by Rufus W. GrisYold
d. appleton Co., New York
The Messrs Appleton have fairly taken the lead this
year in the publication of splendid gift books for the
coming holydays. We have already noticed two very
beautiful volumes lately issued from their press, 'The
Women of the Bible" and "The Book of Pearls" and
here we have third work Of the kind, which, to very
large class of readers will be found yet attractive
It is based upon English volume issued from the Ok
ford press and has been enriched by American selections
very iudcously compiled by the accomplished editor 1t
now presents complete historical view of English
cred poetry and in this very interesting feature it is
far as we know, unique The reader curious in such
matters has opportunity to compare the best
specimens of English and American devotional poetry
from the days of Gascogne. Spenser Waller, and Milton,
down the age of Southey, Wordsworth, and Coerdge
and of our own Bryant and Dana. The volume is illus
rated by and very beautiful steel engravngs
and is gotten up i'll very elegant and tasteful form We
confidently predict for this publication the large
which the enterprshg publishers have well deserved

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Our readers are already informed that by a
vote of the Senate, at the close of the last ses-
sion, the "Union" was selected as one of the
journals in which the proceedings and debates of
that body are to be published. A similar ar
rangement on the part of the House of Repre-
sentatives will, it is hoped be made when that
body meets. 1t is purpose to make the
WEEKLY UNION hereafter as it has been hereto
fore, political commercial, and miscellaneous
sheet, and to increase rather than diminish its eff
cheney in these several departments. To afford
space for this purpose, and at the same time to
furnish to subscribers our full congressional
reports, we propose to issue, during the session
of Congress, a CONGRESSIONAL SUPPLE
MENT TO THE WEEKLY UNION, which
shall contain the full reports as published in
daily edition. There will be at least one number
of the Supplement per week, Of the same size and
form as the CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER" The
price of our Weekly Union has heretofore been
put very low But, determined as we are to spare
no efforts to increase already extensive circu
lation, we propose to afford to our subscribers
both the WEEKLY UNION for one year, and the
CONGRESSIONAL SUPPLEMENT during the session
of Congress- at the same price at which the
Weekly Union alone has been hitherto published

forms of some of their governments. Switzerland has
just adopted constitution IN many respects similar to our
own She has organized the cantons into federal form

Their Senate consists, of course, OF A members; and
their House of Ill representatives Their representatives
have Just been elected The President is to be elected by
the national council instead Of by the colleges of electors
as is the case in the United States This organization is
viewed with distrust and jealousy by surrounding
powers, because, by concentrating the power OF all the
cantons in one head, it makes Switzerland more nde-
pendent of all foreign influence.
Mexico is at this moment operating under the federal
system; and we learn from the most respectable author
