No. 2.-We have received the second
number Of this work from Tie publisher
and compiler Miss Abby NJ. lIemenway,
Ludlow, VI. The typographical execp-
ton Of this number is highly crclilablc,
superior We should judge, . the former
number.
The present issue contains series Of
historical sketches Of the towns Of Ben.
ningIon County, together with biograpli-
zeal and other notices on matters Of gen
eral interest. We have read the portions
devoted TO Arlington, by Rev. +. A. Wad-
leigh, and Bennington, by Hon. Hi!and
Hall. If these parts are specimens Of the
entire volume, it is certainly a very enter
tanning and valuable production.
The Magazine is embeIlished with a fine
engraving Of Gov. Hall.
Miss llemenway's undertaking is in our
opinion TO prove entirely successful. Her
work will in due time become general
iayorite, and no family can well do with
out it. The terms of the Magazine are
81 per year--or 50 for tie entire course.

Some twelve years ago Mr.. SEWARD
laid down the programme of anti sla-
very agitation, and made that program
me the condition of success. He de-
clared the necessity Of educating the
public mind to the one purpose, and to
this end the press and the pulpit were
required to act in concert. The abolit-
ion of slavery, matter about which
MIR. Seward had no right to concern
himself, was set up as political, NOR
al and religious duty; and from that
time to this, it has been inculcated by
the press and the pulpit, until by a
minority vote, this party with one idea
has secured control of the government
at the sacrifice of the Union. The
vicious character Of the whole procee-
ding is almost beyond the decencies of
execration, andsthc dismembered Un-
ion is the trophy of this great national
crime. Under our habitual respect for
the forms of constitutional law, with
the temporary success Of the RepubI-
can policy, we may tolerate the ascen-
dancy of even so destructive party:
but the time must come when the retri-
butivc award oftruth, and the record of
will affix to black Republican
ism the full responsibility for the disso-
luton of our federal Union. -Cleveland
