DAILY NATIONAL ERA.
LITERARY NOTICES.

NewlYork Leonard Scott a Co. For sale by
Tayllr Maury, Washington, D. G.
Thi} number contains an interesting article
on the Text of Shakespeare" another article
Of interest ON The Struggles and Tendencies
of German Protestantism - but the article OF
this number is the last 9th article: .The War
in thel East and its Political Contingencies"
This u manly, outspoken expression Of
brave nan, and we believe, of the people Of
Great britain. In the opinion Of the reviewer,
the Ministry Of England has been paralyzed
by the press, whose persistent attacks drove
Lord Ialmerston from the Foreign Office; es-
peciallt the Times paper, which, if in the pay
of the Gar, could not have more effectuaiiy
aided linn by the vast weight Of its talent and
influence. It has been thoroughly Russian.
Another cause Of dubiety in the action OF the
Ministry is to be traced to the language Of Mr..
Cobde1 exaggeratng by the force Of his great
talents, the worthlessness of the Otsoman Pow
or, and the folly Of Great Britain in imagining
that Obj had any interest whatever in prevent
ing Nicholas from transferring his seat of Gov
ernmeIt from the Neva to the Bosphorus
The reviewer says: "We cannot say, but
there ID One who knows, in how great measure
the ruth Of Hungary and the suppression of
Italian liberties must be laid at the door of our
ultra liberal press and our radical politicians"
The article is worth the cost of the number.

g Cosmos" which presents the last results Of
ASTRONOMICAL Investigations biographical ar
ticle on M Euizot; and an article Of interest
on "The Rebellion in China" concluding
with an article on the great question of the

than ministerial statement Of the progress Of
the ENHANCEMENT Of this vexed question, and
showing what everybody is but too well salts
fed with, the long forbearancc Of England and

speak out Of the heart Of England, as does the

EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Soufhbrsdge, Massachusetts,, March s, 1854
How proud we are to have two such men in
the Senate as Chase and Sumner, who speak
without fear or favor--calm and fair to all but
clinging to the last jot of the Anti-Slavery
creed. That Senator Chase has been rising in
our view ever since he entered the Senate;
every speech lifts him about ten degrees His
calm, digni6ed, ingenious manner, chimes in
beautifully with his great straightforward ar
guments, that are tumbled down upon the
heads of his opponents like rocks from the
brow OF the mount.

Such a one may be now at hand. At any

Franklin, PennsylUdnia, March 3, I854.-A

and vicinity, in condemnation Of Douglass Ne.
braska bill, before Congress IL has received
the signature of every one that it has been
offered to, including men Of oil parties This
infamous bill will do more to awaken Anti

all other Anti Slavery means that have been
used Men Of all parties condemn it, meet
ing is to be held at Montrose, on Wednesday,
March 8, in opposition to it. Judge Wilmot

swallowed the last compromise.
Norton, Mass, March T. lS54.-The people
here are beginning TO see that either Slavery
or Freedom must die. They are beginning to
understand would to God some people could
have understood it years ago) that in every
compromise involving moral wrong the devil
gets the best end Of the bargain Many, who
when the Nebraska bill was first introduced
thought there was "no danger" Of it's passage,
feel, sinoe the action Of the Senate, that they
have been asleep too long. There seems to be
Deep settled determination to have nothing
more TO do with compromises or compromisers.
