Mr.. EDITOR Pray do what you can to arouse
the country on the subject of Two CKNT postage.
Facts enough are before the people, demonstra-
ting that two cent postage win be better In point
OF revenue than higher rate, because II would,
ey reyoia,ioniring the habits OF the people. to
say nothing Of The many other advantages of
cheap postage, greatly increase the number Of let
,ers' Why do not the representatives of the peo-
pie see this, and seeing 1t, enact the law Cheap
Postage Associations are doing something TO en-
tighten the people on the subject bat the Press il
the great engine to accomplish the work Let
editors throughout the country take il up aud dis
cuss it, and Congress will not think TO satisfy the
people by five cent or even three cent postage.
They will come Mt once to two cents. Nothing
else will satisfy the people
was very sorry TO see lately, ia some of the
New York papers, that the Association there, al
though in favor of two cents, had consented to
accept three and five cents; but learn, with
great pleasure, that there was some mistake, and
that the New York as well ms the Boston Asso-
citation stick to two cents. Let this he the watch
word throughout the country, and let every friend
OF this great reform persevere until the object is
attained. Let petitions to Congress be poured in
without delay let every man, woman, and child,
do something in furtherance of the object.

LoWEbb'S POEMS.


psRNs RY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL Two volumes bes-
ton: Ticknor, Reed, 4 XXX cts'e,'s
We regret that our Congress-crowded columns
will not allow US to notice in fitting manner
this handsome collection of the poems OF one OF
the strongest and nanlisstS VI our writcss-v~a re-
nuhlicmu poet who dares to speak brave words for
pnnopular truth, and refuses 10 submit to the in
ouistorial expurgation of bookselling caterers to
nreiudice and oppression. Since his first appear,
anca in nublic he has happily overcome slight
tendency to mysticism and metaphysics and in
his later poems he stands out clear and strong in
the light of truth and simple nature. He is nc
longer afraid of the sharp outlines of reality and
SO that his thought isfuly and forcibly expressed
and his illustration appcsite, he seems at times
quite careless of the niceties of diction and meta
phor The stamp of the man is on all he does
he is always himself, and none other He isyet
young man, and in view Of what he has already
attained, we have right to expect good deal Of
his future. May he have strength and long life
to do for freedom and humanity, and for the true
and permanent glory of American literature, all
that others less GIFTED and subject to less favora
BILE circumstances have striven in vain to accom-
plish
"The Present Crisis is in our view the no.
blest poem in the collection. We have read it
often, and never without being deeply moved by
the magnificent flow of its thought-charged ver-
sss. One of the latest-written poems, Kossuth, y
is worthy Of it's name.
"a race of mobiles may die out,
A royal line may leave no heir,
Wise Nature sets guards about
Her pewter plate and wooden ware.
Bat they fail not, the kinglier breed
Who starry dadems obtain;
To dungeon, axe and stake, succeed
Heirs of the old heroic strain.
,TAe zeal Of Nature coo's,
Nor is she thwartej of her ends;
When capped and dulled her cheaper tools,
Then she saint and prophet sends,
Lord of the Magyarsi though It be
The tyrant may rs-link his chain,
Already strive the victory
AS the just future measures gain. 4.---l.
Thou hast sIcceeded; thou hsst won
The ieathly trsvaips simplest worth;
nations duty thou hast done,
Giving hero to our earth,
Aud he, let come what will Of wo,
Has saved the land he strove 10 gave;
No Ccsssck hordes, traitors blow,
Csnansnch the voice ssali haunt his grave.
Il Kessuth am; Oh Future, thou
That clear'st the Just, and blott' st the vile,
Der this small dust in reverence bow,
Remembering what was erewhie.
WAS the chosen trump wherethrough
Our God sent forth awakening breath;
Come hains, come death, the strain He blew
Sounds on, OUTLYING chains and dsath'r
We are glad TO see the announcement of q new
volume Of poems by tse ssthcr, 70 be published
in the early part Of the present season.

formation he had on the subject and it possible
