From Ms H. B. Stoic in lic Hd,psadnf FeJyla,y o.
Mr. OlmSted's book is the most thorough er-
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 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 camness 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
much dramatic incident, as to hold the attention
like work Of fiction. A friend of ours, gen
tleman of high literary culture confessed TO hav-
ing been beguiled to sitting more than tho first
half of the night to read it,

If any one wishes to know what Slavery has
done for the South, and Freedom for the North,
these figures. Place copy of these statistics in
the hands of every voter, and, our word for it,
Republicanism will sweep the entire North 10
1860, as clean as it has swept New England in
1856. Men of the South, we beg you to look
calmly and dispassonately at this array offgures,
and see what they portend.
The able editor of the Ereabng Transcript BOs-
ton, thus speaks of this work:
"This little book contains 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
y presents arguments in favor of Freedom on
every page. 1t contains just the kind of informa-
ton that should be more generally known in all
sections of the country. We hope there will be
a public demand for thousands Of copies"
