WASHINGTON CRY, April 20, 1849.
Mr.. Freeman Hunt-Siy. yO ma han la fnr
the opportunities have had to read the Merchants Mag
azine and have found it In reality to be magazine and
that well repenshed of all the useful matter which tho
cearness which delights while it insructs 1t is In fact
merchants magazine in the large acceptation of the
term-merchants who go between nations whose large
operations bring many departments of knowledge,
view of the state of the world into daily requision But
1t is not the great merchant only but the Of more
modest but nevertheless, of most useful operaonsthe
merchant of the interior alsowho will find this magazine
to abound with the information the pursuit of his bust
quires Nor is Its utility at all confined 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 in my senate
rial labors and have been in the habit for many years of
carefully consulting it,.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant
THOMAS II. BENTON.
