From Ms H. B. StO'es, IN the Independents february %
Mr.. Olmsted's book is the most thorough ez-
pose of the economical view of this subject which
has ever appeared himself practical farmer,
having visited and surveyed the farming OF the
Old World, he set out upon a tour to explore the
| farming of the New. His style is simple, natural,
and graphic and he is so far from being carried
away by his feelings, that one sometimes wonders
at the calmness with which he will relate the
most astounding facts. He never hesitates TO
admit merit, or give praise when it is due. The
book is very thorough and accurate in its details,
and is written in style so lively, and with go
much dramatic incident, as to hold the attention
like work of fiction. A friend of ours, a gem
tleman of high literary culture confessed to hay
ing been beguiled to sitting more than the first
half of the night to read it.

Republicanism will sweep the entire North in

1856. Men of the South we beg you to look
calmly and dispassionately at this array offgures

The able editor of the ECasing Trarsrript, Bos-
ton, thus speaks of this work:
"Ths little book contains a vast amount of
information respecting the comparative condition
of the slaveholding and non-slavehoding States,
as to territory, population industry wealth, edu-
cation, intelligence, religion moral advancement,
and general progress. The work must have cost
a great deal of laborous research, and it certain
~ presents arguments in favor of Freedom on
every page 1t contains just the kind of infor,na-
ton that should be more generally known in all
sections of the country. We hope there will be
public demand for thousands of copies"
