The Life and Public Services o John Qswey Adams, Sinh
PSssidsat of the United State.-BY WILLIAM H. SEw-
Derby, Miller, Co., Auburn. New York, publish
We have had before us some time the book written by
Senator Seward whose title have given above II is
unnecessary for to say much OF the distinguished sub
ect OF this memoir Mr.. Adamss fame as politician,
statesman. and general scholar too too widely
known to require any comment or euogy of ours II is
sufficient 10 say that, far concerns his talents
an orator and writer we believe him 10 have been among
the first whom this country has produced He also lived
through the most interesting period OF our history.
He was born before the revolution He accordingly
saw the birth of the present government of the United
States and witnessed year by year, for period OF more
than sixty years, its progress and development. lie
could with truth say, that his own was part OF its hlsto-
ry He was employed from early life in various Offices
under the government, civil and diplomatic and at one
time filled the highest Office known 10 the constitution
the Presidency OF the United States He could not fail,
therefore, to be familiar with its history, and with the
leading men OF his time, both in Europe and America
The events OF the life OF such cannot fail TO be in
eresting Thus the author had ample materials for his
book and so far judge OF its merits, he seems
to have made good use OF them for popular work. We
do not think that thorough and full biography OF Mr.
Adams could be compressed in small space as one
duodecimo volume Mr.. Stewards style is vigorous, lu-
cid and often eloquent we might expect from man
of his eminence We feel forced to concede the ability
with which the book is written but at the same time,
we feel bound to dissent from the political doctrines and
principles which it embodies. To the admirers Of Mr..
Adams we do not hesitate to commend the work as well
worth its cost and the time they will spend in reading il;
and we also commend it TO the general reader work
well worth his attention. The agent OF the publisher is
now in the city, and will accommodate any person in
want OF the book.

Tuesday to fold his and refuse TO give any pledges

caucus the night before, and agreed to adhere 10 their
eourse--ihat is 10 vote for Speaker who will
not pledge himself give them fair representation on
the committees for the District Of Columbia, the Terrific
res, and the Judiciary"
II this be their positions they will vote for no man
who will not give such pledges, then democratic Speaker
is out OF the question We presume there is not now
man in the House who will give any pledge to that
effect In fact the very supposition involves an insult
ing reflection upon the principles the independence Of
the democratic party. Mr.. Winthrop rejected such an
overture when it was made by Mr.. Palfrey; and we take
for granted that after the events Of the last week, every
democrat will be very chary about making the slightest
declarations on the subject
Should such be the position OF those who have been
styled the reeso democrats" it is idle to talk any
longer OF the democrats having majority in the House
OF Representatives There no such available practical
majority. The democrats have not majority; and il
would be unjust 10 say that they have the power, and
thus hold them responsible for the failure 70 elect
