THE WESTERN DEMOCRATIC REVIEW ON PUT

NAMS MAGAZINE.
The leading article in the Western Democratic Review
for October is review of article in the September
number of Putnams Magazine parties generally and
especially on the Nebraska question and slavery This
is the article in Putnam which has produced strong
a feeling in the South against the Magazine II seems
likely to meet with little better reception amongst the
democrats of the Northwest if the Review indianapolis
furnishes an index of the democratic feeling in that region
Whilst we think the writer in the Western Democratic Re
view comedies entirely much when he says that the
article in Putnam is The a5Ies that has appeared in
political journal aimed at the democratic party agree
with him that it is the most ungenerous.
After alludng the fact that Putnams enterprise was
set on by funds received upon the solemn
surances that the Magazine should know sectpolit
ica social or ecclesiastical should be confined in
its scope by religious bigoy and transcend under
circumstances the bounds Of any American healthy polit
cal organization the Review proceeds with the following
scathng remarks
Descending by step from the lofty position of phio-
sophcal journalist he entered the list of demagogues who,

surely which Putnam has been guilty differs from
this not in character but merely in the intensity OF its crmi

Putnam gathered hi. pecunary crumbs from the valley
of the Mississippi upon the condition that he would furnish
literary magazine; he launches upon us as consd

of the Allegheny mountains he has counted without his
host the democracy the country will have
for Putnam than for the Liberaor, whenever it, like
its Bostonan cousin shall determine oppose the constu

In reply the structures of Putnam upon the democratic
party the Review makes the following raIing comments;
Putnams structures upon the democratic party are, in
cry of the word unjust They appear be the disgust
ing rehah all the abolition editorials and speeches of the
country That the writer who has hardly superior in
view composition should have descended to so low and de-
grading depth of namy for the purpose of resurrectng all
the exploded objections to the constitution and to that party
which alone has been faithful to for seventy not
little wonderful The charge that the democracy the ad
vocaes of slavery propagandsm is so at variance with the
fact that have hardly patience friend of the
South examine it, The democratic party has been and
