Democratic Review.

We have received the January, February,
March, and April numbers of this excellent peri
odical We have not only high authority from
others for pronouncing it good work, but ocular
demonstration of the fact in the number now be-
fore us, for the present month. Each publication
is embeliished with portrait Of some distinguish
ed or leading man of the day, The April number
contains portrait of the Hon. James A. Seddon,
of Virginia. We have had time only to glance at
the leading articles in the present number, the first
of which is entitled Capitalization in which
may be found the following paragraph:
at has been the high mission Of Mr. Calhoun,
through public life of nearly forty years dura-
ton, to oppose with his great intellect extraord.
nary reasoning powers, and far-seeing political
sagacity, every attempt at centrazation, by which
the powers of the federal constitution could be en-
larged, the integrity of State sovereignty intrnged
or the rights of lninortes ultimately destroyed In
the performance ofthis patriotic duty, no man has
been more rancorousy assailed, or studiously mis-
represented. 1t has been the fashion at times, by
those incapable of comPrehending the full scope
of his eminentiy national views, to accuse him OF
sectonality-ofa a desire to sustain only the inter-
ests of section, or to promote merely the welfare
of locality, regardless of national progress. It is
always the fate of those whose intellectual emil
nence gives them clearer view of the future
than that which the less elevated crowd around
them can command, to incur the reproaches of
those whose wishes are thwarted by announced
truths that they cannot comprehend. Such men
live in after ages, when time and progress have
reached the events which their forecast early dis
cerned."
Besides numerous other miscellaneous articles,
the political miscellany contains interesting items,
communications, &C., also letter from the Hon.
James X. Paudng to the committee who had in
vited him to address the Union meeting in New
York, which meeting was disturbed by disorderly
persons. In this letter he "defines his position
as a loper of the Union, and an adrocate Of those
principles upon whIh is founded.

The Camden Fire Engine Company.

We are pleased to see that this old and valuable
Company is again reviving. The. efficient service
rendered in by-gone days by this Company, en-
titles it to our warmest thanks and kindest consi-
deration. The task OF the Fireman is not an easy
one Often risking life and limb to rescue or save
his neighbors property from destruction' he shows
as much true magnanimity and patriotism, as he
would to meet the enemy of his country upon the
battle field. The claims of the Fireman are not
always sufficiently appreciated. Some persons
regard the service as a mere evasion of law, an
exemption from militia and patrol duty. 1t is not
so: the Fireman earns his commutation. A single
night of labor may cost him more than fifty exemp-
tons from the tax imposed, could repay him. We
are thankful that the services of our Fire Compa-
ny have not been required for length Of time
past, and hope they may not be required to exhi-
bit their efficiency for time to come. James F.
Sutherland, Esq, is the Captain of the Company.
