EDITH HALL; A VILLAGE SToRY-By Thrace
Ialmon. Boston; Phillips, Sampson, & Co.
This is another romance from some new aspi-
rant for literary fame, illustrative of scenes and
characters in New England life and society. The
scene is laid in Connecticut; but we suspect that
the author halls not far from Worcester Atany
rate, we think we discern that some of our own
good citizens have sat to him or her for their por-
traits. The tone OF the book is unexceptional
and its perusal is calculated to elevate the feel
ings and refine the heart, as well as to interest
and amuse. N. Hervey & Co., booksellers, No
2O7 Main Street, have it for sale.

Thc Two Platforms.

We desire to call the attention ofeyery true
American" of Massachusetts, to an inves-
tigation of the platform recently constructed
at Philadelphis, and to compare it with that
Of their own State, of which they have so
often boosted, and SO many times declared
they would adhere to it now and forever
How often, during the last Gubernatorial
campaign, when votes were to be obtained,
did their orators declaim to us of the beauties
of the Springfield Platform its excellent
adaptation to our politics, National as ,oeH as
State, and affirm their ueyieiding attachment
to its anti slavery planks, as of equal impor-
lance. and equally binding in their nature,
with any other part Of the American creed. -
Freedom and Americanism-now and for
ever-one and inseparable,' was then the
moato of the Bakers, the Brewsters, the Ca
reys, and the Prices of the party. How
well we remember the emphatic declaration
of President Baker, that We could no more
divest his party of its anti-slarery creed, than
Of its Americanism--in fact, that opposition
to slavery and its extension was of co-ordi-
nate Importance, with its warfare upon
Popery and foreign influence. cat the next
Presidential election said he, in our City
Hall, s'we shall go into the contest with our
forces arrayed on the side Of freedom, to
meet. on the other side, the forces of slavery"
The struggle, Mr.. Baker said, would be one
strictly between freedom and slavery, and
the An erican party was to be the party of
freedom in that warfare But, Z" tbs dis
lance lends enchantment to the view," and
as the time approaches, we see his party in
its true naked deformty, disrobed of all its
beautiful hues.
From adherence to a platform pledging
them to political action on the fundamental
principle, that every department of the gov
eminent should be so executed as to make
"Freedom national, and Slavery sectional"
and to "releve the general government from
all connection with, and accountability for,
American Slavery" the members of the
American party are now asked 10 sanction
policy, which makes d" Slavery national and
Freedom sectional" by supporting platform
which pledges them to the admission of as
many slave States as the slave power may de-
mand, 10 strict maintenance and enforce.
ment' Of the fugitive slave act, to an abject
submission to the Nebraska swindle, and
against any anti. slavery legislation, generally,
in remedy of such enornities.

KANsAs.-The correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune telegraphed from Washington on
Friday, as follows:
Intelligence was received by the Govern
ment this morning containing assurances that
the Border Counties of Missouri would ac-
quiesce in the present state Of things in Kan
sas, and make no aggressive movement The
President instructed Gov. Shannon before
leaving to visit these counties personally, and
say if an invasion was attempted it would be
resisted by all the power he could command !;
also to say to the people of Kansas that the
same authority would be exerled If any insur-
rectiona1y demonstration occurred.
Ii the Topeka Convention assemblies civil
process will be sued out against the Governor
and other officers, on the ground of the Ter
ritorial law that they are assuming functions
to which they have not been legally elected
or appointed. The same law prevails in most
of the States. No military force will be en-
ployed unless the civil process is resisted. -
Republican instructions have been sent out
by special messenger, who started on
Wednesday night, to members of the Topeka
Convention, deeiring them merely to organize
and adjourn, so as to be prepared for other
movements hereafter. With these precau-
tons on both sides no collision is now appre- =
hended.

THE Book OF AUToGRAPHs-Messrs Baker
of this city, have just published new edition of
the Book Of Autographs, with additions compris-
ing the fac SMILES Of the signatures of several
thousand eminent men, mostly Americans. Next
to the interest connected with the lives of great
men that inspires us with desire to know how
they look, is that which excites our curiosity to
know how they write, and some people contend
that there is as much in the handwriting as
in the lineaments Of the coudtenance, to in
dictate the mental pecularities of the man.
Whether this is really the case or not, we are not
prepared to say, but the study of these pages may
aid those who take an interest in such matters to
solve the problem. Judging from the autographs
in the book of those with whom we are familiar,
we should think that these fac SMILES had been
prepared with the greatest fidelity to the origi.
mails that it is possible to attain.

BOOK NOTICES.

MAcAULAY's HIsTeRx OF ENGLAND.-We have
received from Messrs. Philips, Sampson, & Co.,
vols. III. and " of their edition of Macaulays
History of England. Il is got up in good style,
and bound to match vols. I. and H., which were
issued by the same house some time since. No
history of any country has ever met with such
universal commentator as this one of our faith
erland, and the sale in both hemispheres has been
unprecedented by that of any similar work The
competition and rivalry of trade has LED to the
issue of several editions, and at prices so low as
to make us wonder how the publishers can be re-
Enumerated. The volumes before us are of the
size and style of books that are sold for SIPS,
and yet they are sold for about half dollar a
volume. 1t should be in every mans library, and
when so small sum can purchase it, few viii de.
prive themselves of the instruction and delight
which its pages afford. For sale by n Hervey &
Co.. booksellers, No. 207 Main Street.

COTTON & F1ToH's MODERN SCHOOL GEoGRA-
PLY. Published by j. H. Cotton & Co., New
York Size, small quarto, PIP. 1913.
This work is a commendable improvement on
our old Biographies, comprising in brief treatise
all the information on this subject required in an
ordinary course of instruction. The author aims
particularly to eliminate his material of the su-
perfuous matter which has encountered former
works. Much useless detail respecting unimpor-
taut towns, the lengths of small rivers, and facts
not strictly geographical, wisely omitted.
The style is clear and concise and the language
simple. Great pains have evidently been be-
slowed upon the preparation of the questions
especially those relating to the maps. They are
not mere appendage to the work, but are skill
fully incorporated with it, and are often as useful
in conveying information as the subsequent an.
swers.
judicious system appears to have been care.
fully adhered to, proper reference being made to
the relations of earths great physical features
The pronunciation of difficult names is given in
parentheses Immediately following them, thus Sc.
curing correctness and uniformity.
We learn from the title page that the maps are
drafted by George W Cotton, the designer of the
maps in Colton's Great Atlas of the World
We confident, therefore, that their topog-
raphy agrees with the latest data, matter in
which our school aliases have been singularly de-
fcient We notice severed important changes
corresponding to recent discoveries. The Arctic
regions appear to have been drawn from the charts
of the Grinnell expeditions, and the interior of
Africa is delineated according to the descriptions
of Mr.. Livingston. The countries south and
southeast of Lake Tsad, or Tchad, are shown
with the mountain ranges in their true position
The great Lake Nyassi, or Maravi, is also repre-
scented. The maps are clearly engraved, and con-
tain all the matter requisite for school atlas,
without being so full as to hinder a ready refer.
ence. The scales which they are drafted are
uniform, and the number of miles to the inch in
variably specified. Pupils are taught to compare
the areas of countries thus represented, and to
determine their relative magnitudes.
The mechanical execution of the book is high
ly in its favor. 1t is printed on fine paper, en-
belished with beautiful engrayings, and very firm.
ly bound.
We would recommend it as greatly superior to
any geography we have examined.
