REVIEW.

take the liberty of soliciting small space in your col

The first libel on the house Of Romano; the second
apology for England eliminating at the same time
the American press and people 1t is not my object to
speak of the belous biographical sketch Of the Romano
but simply to expose the absurdity Of the accusation
against the American people and call the attention Of those
more capable than myself Of doing justice the subject

pearance in wdey-crculated literary Journal and con-
sequeny calculated mslead those who would not take
the trouble to discriminate between his pse rs and facts
The article is headed Old England which he styles Old

very existence among nations than any former contest in
which she engaged aud il is a righteous trar on

If every body would think as Cyrus Of
Persia, there would be but few drunkards
in our country fewer orphans and ragged
children than what we see. When Cyrus
was only twelve years old, his mother,
Mandane, carried him with her into Media,
to see his grandfather, Astyages, who was
very desirous to see him. In this court,
young Cyrus found very different manners
from those of his own country. Pride,
luxury and magnifcence reigned universal
ly; but he steadily adhered to the princi-
Piles imbibed by him from his infancy
! He charmed his arsndfather- -hz his spriGht.

equipped as cup'bearer. He presented the
cup to the King in SO graceful manner
that he pleased him exceeu1ngry::. f"Vy

April, 1856, with thirteen members-it
now has 21, and is in very fourishing

and deep entrenchments all around us

harmony tothe widow and orphan cause
which, would, if carried out, promote the
happiness of our people, we have planted
our flagstaff and thodgh it nd be severed

and again, and continue to rear it up and

principle that schools have the right to nro.

out OF the Tarups' that have been before
Congress and the Legislatures-his false
boast about what Greeny' would do for a
Temperance party, and the parable of poor

time, in his own language to climb upon
