ton Transcript:
The frat book printedin the Unite States
was the "hay Psalm Book" published at
Cambridge in 1910. 1t assedthreugh ma
ny editions here. twas reprinted in Eng
land in eighteen editions, the last one be-
ing published in lT5i. In Scotland it pass
ed twent-two editions: the last one appear
ed in 1929. 1t thus appears that the first
work printed in America enjoyed a more
lasting reputation, and had wider cicula-
ton abroad, than any volume which has
since appeared. We believe it passed
through seventy editions.
Tht first Bible printed in America, was
published Ia the Massachusetts colony in
1903 II was the famous Indian Bible OF
the apostle John Elliot. Printing the Eng
lish version Of the Scriptures was prohibi-
ted by law, there being monopoly prIgi-
lege IN England. Although fifteen hum
dred copies of the Indian Bible were printed
they are now quite rare and are "sealed
books to all persons now living as the
knowledge Of the Indian tongue has become
extinct
The first poem written on these shores
was description Of New England in Latin,
heXameter verse, by Rev. William Morrell,
an Episcopal clergyman, who visited Ply
mouth colony in 1923. The earliest poet
in New England vas Mrs. Anna Bradstreet,
the wife Of Gov. Bradstreet, and daughter Of
Gov. Dudley. She vas called the "mirror
other age, aud the glory Of her sex" She
was known as a writer in 1882 Her faith
81 and sister also wrote respectable verses.
Cotton Mather was one otthe first literary
men bornin New England. He wrote readily
in seven languages, and wac the author of3S3
publications.
The first political poetry written after
the adoption OF the Federal Constitution,
was piece by Edward Church Of Boston,
entitled The Dangerous Vice +4tS4+." 1t
was a yindictiye, causeless and spirited
attack upon John Adams then Vice Presi-
dent.
The first attempt to SCI up a newspaper,
in North America. SO far as can be ascer
tanned was made in Boston in 1890. Only
one copy Of the sheet is known to be in eA-
issenee, and that is in the Stale paper office,
London.
The first newspaper in North America
was the Boston Ners Letter, commenced in
April "a, lT04 by John Campbell, ESQ
1t was published regularly for serenty-tuo
years and discontinued in i77G. The Sec
ond American newspaper was the Boston
Gu,e:t3, the first number appearing Dee. n,
1919. The day GLOWING, the third paper
at PHILADELPHIA, called American

miniature sheets compared with papers q the

Forcing False Tess on Wnigs-Who are guilty.

When Senator Douglas, in the plenitude
Of his demago@uci ug, made high bid for
the Presidency, by bringing in bill for the
repeal of the Missouri Compromis', which
acted like tirehrand on the slumbcring
combustbIes of slavery agitation, We OPP
posed the measure. We sould see no
good to be accomplished by renewal OF
an excitement which Invariably results III
evil, by weakening the bonds Of our Union,
and ENGINEERING bitter amino sites between
North and South. Southern democrats.

against it TO a man, and were backed by Il
few Southern Wings, whose orthodoxy as
Whirs. and soundness Us Southern men, was
never called in question
Tn the anxiety of the supporters OF the
bill, TO have i, to succeed, they proclaimed
il a test Of devotion to the Union. The
Administration made it the touchstone OF
ID ,mocratc orthodoxy, and some Southern
Wings and Wing journals-among the lat

attempted to nuke it Wig test We
protested against it, and for so doing were
called Freesoiers ard Abolitionsts. Az

the Evening News and Intelligeneer into
the ranks OF Freesoilism ane Abollllon'sin,
because they would not hitch themselves TO
the same vehicle and aid in dragging Judge
Douglas into power. The Republican
