OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

sThis work will be looked upon as a valuable
compendium Of the history and position Of parties
| platforms, and opinions of the leading Statesmen
of the present times in the United States While
| compiled doubtless with view to forwarding the
interests Of the Republican party during the ,res-
ent campaign for the approaching Presidential
election, its value is not confined to that party
alone but it will be deemed indispensable to men Of
all parties for its leading feature is the imparaty
with which the opinions of men and parties of every
political shade are set forth, especially on the un-
happy question of Slavery generally, and Slavery
| in the Territories in particular. As publicity IL
the breath of the nostrs to every man who aspires
to, aud takes part in public life and as few such
men would desire to see their opinions without II
record. even though their opinions at one time
might differ from those of anOther-for change Of
opinion is one of the most legitimate of privileges,
and one the most frequently practccd in all conn
tries-this work can hardly be unwclcome to any
of the eminent statesmen of our country, whose
record it sets forth. VI New York Transcript.
