DE ROWS REVIEW.

dacieut !Slarery, by Geo. Fied'k Holmes Of Va.
We have Just received The January number of Pro
fessor De BOWS admirable Review. We know no
periodical that contains so much useful information
that can be found no where elss. Ifess distinguish
ed for learning than many of the literary Reviews 1t
ia by no means deficient in this respect, and combines
other merits. not met with in other Reviews. In II
we get valuable statistcs showing the resources OF
the country and the occupations of the people, ogeth-
or with able essays on variety of SUBJECTS and many
excellent critical notices and reviews OF new worKS'
We have been specially attracted by al essay OH
Ancient Slavery, by Geo. Frederick Holmes, OF 'ir'
ginia, commenced in the November number and con-
cluded in that for December. Mr.. Holmes enjoys n
high literary reputation in America, but much
higher in Europe, where he has won especial dis
tnc,"n by his able reviews of the great Moral PHI
'O'ophor, Comte. Mr.. Holmes has for years been
,,1a!'nx in all its phases and throughout its whole
na"ry' the institution of Domestic Slavery. His
"Su original thought, his philosophical acumen,
'N "A' and accurate scholarship and historical
peculiarly fit him for treating this inter-
eSuns 'o'9'.' The reader will find all these charac.
terist'es o'SpnaSea IN the present esssy. We com.
mend II 10 the careful study of ALL for II should be
studied, not merely read.
We glad tn find that he vipaics,.v ao,,.s.;o
slavery as natural "spontaneo,., o,,J;,;. -
society. This is the only ground On w,ic, -. IN.
fence can be successfully resled. In the frs, ,.r r
his essay he employs tho following distinct and philo.
sophical language:
But it has been steadily denied by the majority Of
modern theorists that slavery ia either in itse or
consonant with the laws of nature; and, consequently
it would he illogical to extend TO it those cousidera.
,ons which might be appropriate to natural institu.
tuns We shall not repeat discussion so often and
50 fully undertaken elsewhere, but shall content our
selves with citing in the note below two testimonies
from ST. Paul aud st. Thomas Aquinas, neither OF
which has, so far as are aware, been adduced be-
fore We may add. too that the philosophical de.
monstration employed by Aristotle to prove slavery
both natural and just after having been strongly en-.
dorsed by Lord Bacon, has been approved even in
England by his latest biographer. Slavery, how.
ever, is abundanty proved to be natural by the fact
Of it's being spontaneous and universal. Deviations
from the rule may occur but they partial and tram
sient aud more prove that slavery not natural
incident Of society, than iegitimate children and
fouudlug hospitals prove the relation Of father and
child to bs unnatwali or wousn's rights practices

PATENT CoRx-PLAsrKR.--Atth the request
of the proprietor. Mr.. Andrews, we called
yesterday TO witness the modus operandi OF
Plumer e. Rolands Patent Corn-P Planter -
It appears in every particular to answer the
purpose and to be just the thing the farmer
needs. As the machine, which is light
and easily handled, passes through the field
II plants two rows Of corn, depcsiting and
covering at regular distances from four to
i've grains in each hill. In backing, turn
ing corners, etc. no grain is deposited 80
that none Is lost. The machine is SO sim.
pie that boy may manage it and plant his
fifteen to twenty acres per day What adds
to the utility Of this machine is the fact, that
the price brings il within the means OF every
farmer, while it's simplicity is such that no
mechanic is required to keep it in repair
Mr.. Andrews has been in the city but few
days, In which time he has sold the right to
use il in nearly one quarter OF the settled
portion of the State. He sold thirteen
counties to one man. He will leave the CT.
~ 80 socn as he has supplied those with
machines who have engaged them OF him;
in the mean time he may be found at the
Mansion House on Iowa street

.HosoA TO WHOM HONOR" ETc.-What
. hsp-hszard method OF writing the genius
Of the estate" Democrat has, to be sure
He uses bad words as though he had been
accustomed to them ell his lite. We
didn't suppose Mr.. Thorington dreO up the
bill he succeeded in passing through the
House. Members of Congress generally
employ the services Of lawyer for that pur-
pose. To whom is the passage Of the Iowa
Prohibitory Liquor Law due! To Dr. Wit
te. who was instrumental in effecting its
passage through the House, or to the law
yer in Davenport who drew il up! Our
friends Cook g. Sargent moy have drawn
up the Railroad bill, as asserted BY the Dem
oerst, but il il had not been for Hon. Jas
Thorngton Il would have never become
law. "To Gen Jones belongs the glory OF
its passage In Congress-" says the Demo
Graf. Let's see, Cook e. Sargent drew up
the bill, J. Thorington labored assduously
10 etfecting it's passage through the House,
and got it in position TO go through the
Senate, which body it passed after slight de-
bate in which the estimabe Jones took part
and for this is to be ascribed to him the hon
or Of it, passage! Thstll do, fit champions
Of fit subject.

Three freight cars were damaged and the
