From this eloquent passage with which tue
pamphlet co'es, it is easy to perceive 'he antici-
pstiOns which the writer INDUCES concerning the
country in whose politics he has heretofore borne
a conspicuous part. He does not attempt to con-
ced the SclayOnic sympstbies with which he ia
inspired, bu, in no instance does he permit the
ststsment Of historical principles TO be coloIed
by bis enthusiasm. We regard his essay, both in
conception aud style as an admirable specimen of
political disquisison. His lucid thoughts ,eive
full justice from the nervous, cOriisl dicsion 10
which they are clothed. The few errors of ex
preston tina. may be detected only serve as foiIs
to the prevailing excellence OF the style-rare

quate power of expression. The letters are the sin
cere expressions Of active mind, convessnt with
the current literature Of the day, aud shrewdly OBJ
servant of passing events A work like this is of a
nature to dsarm criticism but it would be uncandd
not to notice disapproyingy certain vein OF afecta-
ton which yitiates the editorial portions OF the
volume.
