The fourth and fifth selections of this catalogue
are latter calculated to suggest commentary
than either of the others. Indeed, it is said that
alter the abortive experiment OF the old hunkers of
the democracy to conciliate the bamburners, that
the cabinet ,mercitully cons derng the unhappy iso-

take them into the wing church, and that the APP

Perhaps Mr.. Preston thinks the support of this
class of our fellow citizens worth remembering;
and though it may be of no advantage to the de-
