r EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 81 Gold sfrsat
M,o York, continue to publish the four lead
Ing British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of u valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
"FARmER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRicULTURE,"
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. K. s., OF Edinburgh, aa-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &c, &c; assisted
l,v JouN p. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, DC
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large ROYAL octave volumes, containing over l,4uu
pages, with 10 or 10 splendid steel ensravlnSs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, IN the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
imnlement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
having, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; IN short,
the pictorial feature OF the book Is unique, ana
will render il Of incalculabe value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of Ga pages each, exclusive OF the steel
engrayings and is sold at 25 cents EACH or 70 for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
nj least twenty-five.

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
norton of their contentsis devoted to political sub

them their chief value, and in that they stand con-

A Great Difference.

The Courier and Enquirer seeks to Justify the
position of Mr.. Webster toward the Wing party
and its candidate for the Presidency by the course
of Mr.. Clay toward Gen. Taylor. To this end il
published letter which, on September 20, 1848,
Mr.. Clay addressed to the Wing Executive Com
mittee of this city, stating his for not sup
porting Gen. Taylor. They were, that the Gene
raj had been nominated by the Convention with
out satisfactory assurance that he was a Whig;
that he had accepted other than Whig nomina-
uons, and had even announced that he should
run as an independent candidate against the
Wings If they nominated another Hhaat he had
made no satisfactory declaration asyel the char
acterishc measures Of the Whig pa loss and that
he vas mere soldier, and inexperi,- -eed in civil
affairs.
There is not one Of these reasons which applies
to Gen. Scott. He never presented himself to the
Convention as an independent candidate whom
they, might take or not and who was detertathed
to run at any rate. He said from the first that
if any other man was selected he should hava,aas
hearty support and good wishes AS to his po-
litical convictions, there is no vagueness or OBJ
scurty. He is o thorough and consistent Wing,
and has always been known as such. Nor is he
q mere military man. His civil services to the
country in the removal Of the Cherokees, evinced
in him WISDOM moderation, and ability in the
settlement of difficult and delicate questions
which would shed honor on the most eminent
statesman. IL there be o man in the nation
whose history gives the assurance that he will
administer the government with incorruptible
honesty, devoted and manly patriotism, lofty
sense of what is due to the honor of the coun-
try, and with wisdom and genius, it is Winfield
Scott Not one Of the objections brought by Mr.
Clay against Gen. Taylor can be brought against
our present candidate.
1t is intimated that Mr.. Webster may, ere long,
declare himself upon the Presidential question.
We shall learn with pleasure that he has done SO,
but that pleasure will be altogether his own
account We shall be glad to see man so distin-
guished putting himself right before the country,
and coming into consistency with the pledge i'm
piled when he went before the Convention as
candidate for the nomination. 1t seems altogether
proper that he should remove from his fame the
suspicion that personal motives could be Of more
weight with him than long-cherished and often
avowed principles. That suspicion he can quiet
by coming out in favor of Gen. Scott-or, should
his political principles have changed, as we are
sure they have not, of Gen: Pierce. When he
sees fit, he will doubtless take such course. But
it is thing which concerns himself and his own
dignity and reputation alone. 1t is not thing
for the Wing party to ask of him as favor, or
to receive as such when it is bestowed.
