THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC QUAR-
TERLY REVIEW Hon. Thomas b
FLoRLNCE. Publisher and Editor, Washing
ton City I; Terms $500 per annum i'll
advance.
Mr. Florence has sent us the first number
of his new Quarterly, just pub shed it con-
tains 100 pages of well printed letter-press, and
has very admirable engraving-a Portrait OF
Mr.. Buchanan President ofthc United States
We rarely see picture for Il periodical
SO well executed, and believe it is good
likeness. The following is list Of the
contents:
Salutatory-T The Relation ofthc Democratic
Party to the Government Of the United
States history Of the Two Years Amend
meDt to the Constitution Of Massachusetts.
&c-The Outbreak at lIarpcr's Ferry The
San Juan Qneston-James Buchanan The
Appalachian Groupc of Indian Tribes ii
Political Elcment-The United States Coast
Survey-Thc Production Of Cotton and its
Influence on Modern Observation-Disclosures
City Of Washington-Q uartely Synopsis OF
our Foreign Commercial Relations Alfred
Tennison-R iiles-Brtish Novests- Death
of Gov. Hamilton tanwix-On the probable
Fall in the Value of Gold, &c.
We have had time to give but casual
glance at its ample pages and hence will have
to defer more particular notice till another
day. The object of the work to assert and
defend the Principles of the Democratic party
is fully set forth in the Saiuiaiory. 1t is to
be regretted, for the sake Of the literature OF
of the country that Mr.. + florence did not take
greater pains with this leading paper; the
initial number Of what is intended to be great
Review, at the seat OF Government, should
have been launched on the sea OF letters with
agrarcful and classical introduction, giving an
earnest of the polish and power which should
characterize work of so high an aim. But,
undoubtedly, the Editor had his cares and
difficulties, attendant on a first issue, and
too severe a line of criticism should not be
laid to his salutatory. Skipping here and
there through the work. the subjects presented
appear to be intelllgently treated, so far as we
have examined. We wish to look at it more
carefully hereafter.

Lord of all being throned afar,
Thy glory flames from sun and star;
Centre and soul Of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near
Sun of our life, thy Weakening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day
Star of our hope. thy soitcnrd light
Cheers the long watches OF the night.
Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn;
Our noontidc IS thy gracious dawn
Our rainbow arch thy mercy sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine!
Lord of all life, below. above.
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love
Before thy ever blazing throne
We ask no lustre of or own.
Grant us thy truth to make us free,
And kindling hearts that burn for thee,
Till all thy living alters claim
One holy light, one heavenly fame!
