ions, and save him from being the victim Of
iSms or the lover of untimely reforms, and yet
with a genial enthusiasm for his profession,
which carries him bravely through his hercul-
can labors, and ever keeps his vision undim-
med and his brain unclouded, he possesses in a
rare degree the peculiar combination of gifts,
which make superior photographer.
Crowned with success in the past, enriched
by so long experience, and possessed of such
special aptitude for his work, DIR. Worcester
has now come to his latest task He pro-
poses to represent the best usage of this
country and of England in orthography and
in pronunciation and to indicate the diff
ferent modes and the highest authorities in
cases OF various, doubtful or disputed pro-
nunciation. Particular attention is given
to etymology, the Importance of which
is becoming more fully appreciated. The de-
finitions are to be numbered and to be illus
trated by choice extracts from standard au-
thors, while the careful explanation of syno-
nymes will aid us in understanding the nicer
distinctions of language. A novel feature of
the work is the introduction of some 1900
wood-cuts to assist us in gaining the true idea
of objects which are not very common, and
which words often fail to describe successfully.
There are other merits of the work, which
we have not space to enlarge upon, but which
will commend it to the reader at once. We
have seen sheets from the portion comprising
the first three letters of the alphabet, and in
them the promises of the publishers prospect
us are fully redeemed 1t is expected that the
volume will be made ready for delivery to sub
scribers in the coming May. We advise our
readers to obtain it by subscription, as they
will thus receive the library edition, bound in
morocco for the same price which will other
wise be demanded for the copies bound in
sheep. The typography, paper, and press
work, are of the finest quality. Subscription

CARL FoRMEs, the distinguished bass sing
er, appears to be an unamiable, pugnacious
fellow. 1t will be remembered that he terribly
provoked the Piccolomini on one occasion, in
New York, and nearly broke up concert
with his pugnacious willfulness. In Cincln-
matt, recently, he assaulted Mr.. Gustav Satter,
the eminent pianist, who was rescued from his
violence by other members of the company.

The WASHINGTON UNION newspaper has
fallen into new hands, and its name is to be
changed. Henceforth it will be called "The
Constitution" That paper has never deserv-
ed its old name, and there is no reason what
ever for believing it will establish just claim
to the new one. 1t should be called "The
Presidents Attorney" This name would truly
signify its character and business. No one ex-
poets candid discussion or independent express
sion of opinion from such journal. 1t has
given work to do. Like an attorney retained
to plead cause, it must say what it has been
hired to say and it is ludicrous to suppose it
will advocate any general interest or principle
in conflict with the general wants or directions
of its client. We think there are many other
names more suitable for the journal in question
than "The Constitution" If"The Presidents
Attorney" is not acceptable, why not call it
"The Peculiar Institution" or "The Fugitive
Slave Bill"

MEXICAN AFFAIRs.

By the last arrival from Mexico we learn
that our Government through its Minister, Mr..
McLane, has formally recognized the Juarez
or liberal administration as the rightful author
ity in that country; and this, it is believed,
viii have a magical influence in favor of the
liberal party there, compose all difficulties,
give the country rest, and create jubilee
among the genuine lovers of freedom. AT the
same time we learn also that the other party
to the existing civil war has met with serious
reverses. 1t is not worth while, however, to
be over hasty in drawing conclusions in this
case.
People generally do not give much attention
to news from Mexico. Now and then some
thing takes place there to attract attention !;
but this does not occur very often. Petty
revolution, civil war, and social disturbance
seem to constitute the normal condition of that
country; our estimate of its people is very
low; and most persons here do not deem them
worth much attention. 1t is likely that we
underrate the Mexicans and have only very
superficial notion of their politics. 1t is true
that they have never astonished the world by
any striking exhibition of greatness, and that
they are not likely to do so at present. New
ertheless, there is, just now, more in their pol
itics, and more in their strife, than many of us
have taken pains to see.
The existing civil war in Mexico is strug-
gle between arrogant Conservatism and the
tendency to political and social Reform. Mi.
ramon is used to lead the troops of the con-
servative party, and the "Juarez Government"
represents the Reformers. The struggle real
ly means much more than is ordinarily meant
by the Mexican revolution and the perma-
nent success of the liberal party would doubt
less elevate the character of the people and
prepare them for more stable government.
We do not think, however, that Mr. McLanes
recognition of the Juarez Administration
will be SO potent for good as some ar
dent patriots in this country believe !; for the
political redemption of the people of Mexico
must proceed from themselves. Moreover our
government is very far from anything like dis
interestee friendship i'll this affair. 1t has
thoughts of Sonora and other provinces of Mex
leo, which, it fancies, the liberal leaders may be
disposed to sell for ready money.
The church party has been sorely press
ed by its enemies; and, in their dismay
and distress, the leaders of that party have ap-
pealed to several of the governments of Eu-
rope, and even proposed to have their country
governed by king under European protec-
ton. Our Republic ought to be the honest
and great-hearted friend of Mexico and so
it would be if the institution of slavery
had not corrupted the administration of our
government, making US false to our principles
and unmanly in our behavior to our weaker
neighbors. What we have done has increased
rather than lessened their distractions. How
long will this accursed slavery control our gov
ernment, breed tilibusters, pirates, and other
scoundrels, and make our behavior, at home
aud abroad, disgraceful to Republican princi-
pies and professions
