the works written pro bono puJlico. Still,
it must BE admitted, many of the latter are
worthless trash. From the latter Uncle
Toms Cabin springs, and justly belongs to
this class of false narratives. 1t has created

According To- the most recent and exact

of Washington and Franklin, could they
come back into our world. The greatest
wonder of all, would be the great progress
which the people,-the masses-have made
since the era of the crossing of the Delaware.
Then, the masses wore distinctive dress,
which set them apart from the wealthy
class, and wrote serfdom on their very ex-
ternals; they were ridden down by odious
laws, gathered from the charnel house of
the Past, such as Imprisonment for Debt,
and other fragments of the legal Moloch of
the red and black ages: now, the masses
are men, and not serfs or machines, and
they have risen into full manhood, with the
fragments of many an internal law, trampled
firmly under foot Now, the masses know
no such word as $50 back !" in their up
ward march; their Future is in the care Of
benign Destiny, and all-paternal God.

departments of knowledge and view of the state Of

great merchant only, but the of more modest,
but, nevertheless, of most useful operations-the

OF his business and the elevation Of the mercantile

to merchants but extends to the legislator and diplo

it most useful to me in my senatorial labors and

consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant.

PROSPECTUS OF THE

To Mechanics, hrentorS, and Manufacturers
THE publishers of the Scientific Amer ican' re-
i specially give notice that the Sixth Volume of
this valuable journal commenced on the twenty firs
OF September of-ring a favorable opportunity for all
to subscribe who take interest in the progress and
development of the Mechanics. Arts, and Manufac.
lures of our country The character of the Scientific
American is too we'll known throughout the country
to require detailed account of the various subjects
discussed throug h its columns.
The aim of the publishers is and has been to render
it the most thorough and useful scientific journal in
the country and to judge of this, by comparing
circulation and influence with other publications of
the class they have unequivoca evidence of it's

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
i AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig,)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory.)
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, Notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American Pc
riodicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics aid Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they aBe held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guaraAtee
that they are established on a firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above Indicated, vet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
Culcl NdluC, dhu III oldC tucy otduu COLI
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in it's columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as " The Caxtons' and My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer, "My Peninsular Medal, I"
The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.
