WASHINGTON CRY, April 20, 1849.
MIR. Freeman Hunt.-NT: i owe many thanks for
the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azne and have found 1t in reality to be magazine
that well repenished of all the useful matter which the
clearness which delights while It nstructs 1t is in fact
merchants magazine in the large acceptation of the
term-merchants who go between nations, whose large
operations bring departments Of knowledge,
view Of the state of the world into daily requson But
1t is not the great merchant only but the of more
modest, but nevertheless Of most useful operatonsthe
merchant of the interior alsowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit his bust
and the elevation of the mercantile character re-
quires Nor is its utility at all confined to merchants but
extends TO the legislator and dipomats and to all who
charged with managing the affairs of the nation. For
myself have found 1t most useful to me in.my senate
rial abors and have been in the habit for many years
carefully consulting it. 1aE III E45g
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant
THOMAS II. BENTON.
