GIFT BOOKS FOR 1873


The Messrs. Appleton, of New York, are
already in the field with gift books for the new
year. We have received from these enterpri-
sing publishers proof sheet of a volume which
they will soon issue. 1t is entitled World
Noted Women; or, Types of Particular Woman
ly Attributes Of all Lands and Ages" 1t is by
Mary Cowden Clarke, who is widely known as
the author of the Girlhood of Shakspeare's
Heroines," &c.
The distinguished authoress, Mrs. Cowden
Clarke, has given an analytical disuuisition OF
the most noted women that have figured in the
world, from the year GO B. c., down to the pres.
ent time. She says in her preface: 1t is inter
estlng to consider the individuality marking
each, and the curious variety of respective dis.
hnction which has set those percentages apart,
as either renowned or notorious, above the or
binary range Of their sisterhocd. x r
They are not so much types of class of women,
as types of particular womanly attributes; and.
far from them all being looked upon as models.
they are, in some instances, to be beheld as
beacons OF warning. With this borne in mind,
1t affords fascinating study to contemplate a
woman like Cleopatra-that Serpent of Old
Nile she who held Mark Anthony's heart in
thrau, and caught him in her strong toll of
grace; or woman, like Isabella of CASTLE,
who was virtuous as she was wise, modest Is
she was illustrious.
1t is also interesting to notice the links of
historic association which connect such widely
various women as Valentino, Joan of Are,
Margaret of ADjou, Lady Jane Grey, Isabella
of CASTLE, Maria Theresa, and Catharine IL,
through the long series of years and separate
lands in which they respectively lived. AS
thus: lie beau Dunois' bore part in both
Valentines and Joan of Arcs history; Marga-
ret was niece to the French King, Charles VII,
who, as Dauphin, was the object of Joan 3
legal championship; Lady Jane Grey was
granddaughter to Charles Brandon, who mar
ried the widow Queen of Louis XII, grandson
to Valentino; and 80 forth, along the chain of
circumstances. The drawings for this work
were executed by the same artist who designed
the splendid work entitled Women of the BIZ
ble,' the sale of which has been so large. This
work is even more splendid-eDgraved on steel
by the first artists. The size is the same as
the Republican Court of Washington"
The Appletons also issue HOLIDAY edition of
Bryant's Poems, with seveuty-one illustrations.

NEW TERRITORIES.

The party having the command of the Fed
ersl Administration generally secures at first
the control in our Territories. The appoint
ments are made, the patronage is dstrib-
uted by the Administration, and men work
zealously for pay. Every postmaster, every
petty officer, deems it his duty to labor for the
Party on whom he depends, and principal
part of the Governors business is to shape the
politics of his Territory. This is why New
Mexico, Nebraska, Oregon, and Washington,
are controlled by the Pro-Slsvery Democracy,
and Minnesota, notwithstanding its settlement
by Free State emigrants, is to so great degree
under its power.
One measure Of counteracting this evil is,
the circulation of papers advocating the Cause
of Freedom. The Republicans Of Oregon, we
are glad to see, have come to this conclusion.
The conduct of Lane and other Democratic
leaders, in boldly advocating the introduction
of Slavery, has alarmed them, and convinced
them of the necessity of more strenuous efforts
to resist that mischievous project. We have
lately received orders for several clubs of the
Era, to be circulated among the People OF
Oregon. 1t is, we trust but the beginning Of
a more general movement.
A correspondent in Deer Greek, Oregon Ter
ritory, sending us dozen subscribers, says:
al am astonished, on my return after an alb
sence of eighteen months, to find such turn
ing over to the Republican ranks. For your
encouragement, l would say, that the Era and
Facts for the People have had much to do in
producing the change in this neighborhood.
The pro-Slavery ground taken by Lane and
most of our leading Democrats, just before the
election of our Constitutional Delegate, has op-
Grated powerfully to open the eyes of honest
Democrats, and there gre many of them becom.
ing daily more and more Disguised, who, ]
think, will soon come over to the Republicans"
We hope our friends will take care to have
such men supplied with the right kind of read
ing, and they will soon decide upon the course
proper TO be pursued.

it will prescribe the qualifications of the voters,
so as to exclude nearly all the Free Safe vo,
tiers. 1t is evident that the battle has but Just
begun Either in Kansas, or in Congress, or
both, it will be fought to the bitter end. The
majority of the citizens of Kansas will not sub
NIT to fraud or violence. To submit to the ruff.
fan insOlence of such men as compose the
Constitutional Convention, would be cowardly.
BY some means they will secure their freedom.
If the Democratic party openly accepts the
fraudulent Constitution, it will be torn asunder
or defeated before the people. The Northern
Democrats believe that Kansas is to be free {;
that the question is decided; and when they
lind out their mistake, should such be the case
the Democratic party will 90 into minority,
and the Administration is lost.

A SIGN.

The Chicago Times is generally supposed to
speak the sentiments of Senator Douglas on
political subjects. In recent article upon the
Kansas question, it says:
I" The Democratic party at the Cincinnati
Convention were unanimously pledged, that if
the people of Kansas, in forming a State Con-
stitution, made Kansas a slave State, Kansas
was to be admitted as such or if they made
Kansas free State, Kansas was to be admitted
as such. In fact, it was unanimously resolved
that the admission Of Kansas was to be deter
mined by the Democratic party, wholly ire.

This doctrine does not agree with that pro.
