From Mrs. II B. Sotes in the independents February %
Mr.. Olmsted's book is the most thorough ex
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 tour to explore tbs
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 tc
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 so
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 hav
| ing been beguiled to sitting more than the first
half of the night to read it.

II any one wishes to know what Slavery has
done for the South, and Freedom for the North,
let them read this mastery work. Let him study
these figures. Place copy of these statistics in
the hands of every voter, and, our word for it.
Republicanism will sweep the entire North in
1860, as clean as it has swept New England in
1856. Men of the South, we beg you to look
calmly and dispassionately at this array offgures
and see what they pOrtend.
The able editor of the Evenaug Transcript, Bos-
ton, thus speaks of this work:
"This little book contains a vast amount of
information respecting the comparative condition
of the Slaveholding and non-slaveholding States
as to territory, population industry, wealth, edu-
cation, intelligence, religion, moral advancement
and general progress. The work must have cost
great deal of laborious research, and it certain
ly presents arguments in favor of Freedom on
every page. 1t contains just the kind of informa-
ton that should be moro generally known in all
sections of the country. We hope there will be
public demand for thousands of COPIES"
