WASHIN GTON:
MONDAY MORNING. MAY "a. 1852

"A crisis is approaching that must, if it cannot
be arrested, soon decide whether order and good
government shall be preserved, or anarchy and
confusion ensue. can most religiously aver
have no wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty, happiness, and true interest Of the people OF
this country. My ardent desire is and my aim
has been, as far depended upon the Executive
. Department, to comply strictly with all our en-
gagements, foreign and domestic; but to keepthc
United States free from political connexions with
every other country, TO see them independent
of all aud under the influence OF none. In aword,
want an 41merican character, that the powers Of
Europe may be convinced we net for ourselves,
and not for others. This in my judgment, is the
only way to DC respected abroad and happy al
home; and not, by becoming the partsans OF Great
Britain France, create dissensions, disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
the cement which binds the Union"
tGEoRGE WAsHINeToN, 1896.
sResolred, That we regard the series Of acts
known the Adjustment measures as forming
in their mutual dependence and connexion a sys-

best for the entire country thatcoud be obtained

L'hian and Other Poems; by WINTHROP MACK
WORTH PRAED. Now first collected. REpFIELp.
Clinton Hall, New York. 1852.
PRAED was first known as an editor of the
Etondn, one Of the cleverest periodicals ever pub
| lished; and presenting some of the most remarka-
BILE productions Of youthful talent that have ever
fallen under our observation. Afterwards he was
| favorte contributor to the Ne,o Monthly, in
which many Of the poems of the present collection
originally appeared. He entered political life with
promising prospects, but died young. worn out
with the studious tolls of his earlier years.
We read these poems again with a very lively
| recollection OF them; and they seem gay, spark
ling, and graceful as when they first appeared.
Some Of them have been in the habit of atribut-
ing to another writer; and the ICON icssions', on
page IFS seem 10 US nothing than an imita.
ton of the "Belle Of the Ball." page 1885, and by
very bad imitator. We think il cannot loo
PRAED's. The proof reader has not been careful
with somc of the smaller poems, or they have been
printed from inaccurate newspaper copies but for
all this the volume is very welcome one, and will
find numerous readers.

Demoorn,io probab,I,t,e..

An article from the Evening Post deserves
the attention of our readers. Ii embodies a
calculation of the probable results of the first
ballot in the approaching Democratic Conven-
ton. bat makes no attempt to dive into the mys-
teres of later and more decisive struggles.
The Post evidently despairs of harmony or
wisdom in the crowd for whom the Baltimore
Committee are providing arrangements. The
old adage that g in a multitude of counsellors
there is WISDOM" is likely to be overdone.
