A pecul ar feature of this Dictionary, and one
which distinguishes it from all otheys, is the sy-
nonyms arranged in connection with the defini-
tioas of the words-a feature which will make it
a popular dictionary as well to the student as to
the writer. To give the reader idea of the val
ue of the synoms, we select the following words,
with their definitions and synoms:-
Accaaate-a. extant; correeti precise.
SYN.-Accuyate or correct account enact state.
ment; precise language. Exact expresses more
than correct or accurate; and precise more than
exact.
EncOni,sna, n III praise; panegyrick; eulo-
gy.
SYN.-Encomium on work or performance
p0,aegyr'c or euIogy heroic action or a distin-
guished pei son.
Those two specimens will give an idea of the
plan of the work.
Another new and valuable feature is the Def.
nitions of Christian names. We have never be-
fore seen SO full a list, and we doubt not that
great many persons will be surprised to learn here
for the first time the meaning of their own names.
These features, with the pronunciation of the
UIeek ana Iatn ana scripture Names the full
list of authorizations, the collection of phrases and
quotations, &C., make this most valuable and
useful work, land will insure its general popularity.

The REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK.
We have already given i'll detail the pro-
ceedings of the Wing State Convention of New
York, held in Syracuse on the 9th, its reso-
tons formally dissolving its continued exist
ence under its former name and organization,
unanimously adopted as the sense Fits mem.
bers, and its nomination, conformity with the
Republican Convention, of State candidates.
1t is noticeable fact that prominent among
the members of the Wing Convention were q
very large number of gentlemen who have
been for years conspicuous for their ability,
standing and influence in the Wing party of
New York. Hon. Moses H. Grinnell, of New
York, Chairman of the Committee on Nomi-
nations, Hon. John A. King, President of the
Convention, Hor. E. d. Morgan, Chairman
of the Committee on Resolutions, Hon. D. c.
Littlejohn, of Oswego, Speaker of the House
in the last Legislature, i. F. Hall, Esq, of
Auburn, Hon. A. B. Dickinson, of Steuben,
Hon. E. g. Spauldng, of Buffalo. Joseph
Blunt of New York, Hon. ]. L. Schoolcraft,
of Albany, and many others who took an ac-
tive part have been for years the leading and
influential minds in the Wing party, several
have represented it on the floor of Congress,
and all have contributed to its past successes
and achievements, alike for the good of the
State and of the Nation. When such men
unanimously resolve to "form new political
organization" and to ''reaffirm and adopt as
their own, ''the principles set forth as those
fthe Republicans of 1900 in the inaugural
OfThomaS Jefferson" their action cannot be
without exerting important influences upon
fha IF JNo1itian1 hofb 10 +losr'
own State and in the Nation.
The ticketplaced in nomination by the joint
action of the Wing and the Republican Con-
yention, is confessedly one of the strongest,
as it is certainly one of the ablest ever pre-
sented at an election in that State. Hon.
Preston King, of st. Lawrence, has been al
most without his equal in the Democratic par
ty for personal popularity and influence He
has been distinguished for his remarkable self
possession, his indomitable and logged reso-
luton, and unbending adherence to principle.
His name is tower of strength throughout
the northern section of the State. Hon. Abiiah
Mann, Jr., of Queens County, is an equally
potential nomination. For many years he
has been leading member of the Democrat
ic party, and his personal integrity, consistent
and unwavering fidelity to his professions,
have made him ever a strong and popular as
pirant for the favor and confidence of his as
sociates. In south eastern New York Mr..
Mann's influence is unsurpassed by that of
any other person in the State
AS to the success of the ticket placed in
nomination, there appears to be no difference
of opinion. Even its most steadfast oppon-
ents admit both its great strength and the
certainty Of its overwhelming success, espec-
tally in the distracted state of the opposition
of Hards, Softs and Know Nothings. The
Hard organ in the city of New York acknowl-
edges its probable triumph, while it deplores
it, and admits that even a union of the dem
ocracy, if possible or desirable which it does
not admit, would now be unavailing 10 pre-
vent the triumphant success of the new polit-
ical orgAnization.-Bos atlas.
