Editors Table.
The first article is. . review Of Hon. FERNANDO
WOODS letter to Hon! HENRY A. WISE; an eloquent
protest against the newdootrine Of Central Power
p&. States Rights. Out bono? However, the paper
is well worth reading, and we append the conclu-
ding paragraph. - 'ia:'.
In cohclusfon, We wishto say that this article is
no moro Addressed to the people Off the South
than Of tho North. I'VE speak to our countrymen
common destiny. The North cannot govern the
sotsn 5sg
South shall be despotically governed, without
also, at last, bringing their own necks under the
same yoke. There is no way for the northern
sstred right Of self government, without also
stripping themselves Of the same right. While
helping f 9Th. the Federal Congress to the mas
for themselves. This is the t'new Americanism"
Of which Mr.. Wood speaks, the master Of The
American people Blistered be the tongue that
counsels. conforming to such an atrocious doc
trine Conform to no principle that did not be-
long to our system OF government before the war
back to the immortal foundations laid by our
fathers.
The editor Of the "Old Guard" O. CHAuNcEY
BURR, ESQ., is evidently very versatile genius
politician, economist, poet, essayist, etc. He is,
perhaps, a little too much Of an Ishmaelite TAX
ing issue with everybody everything. Thus
he takes Professor TAYLOR LEWIS to task for pre-
ferring THuCYp1DEs as a historian to L1yY. We
have known great many very competent judges
holding the same opinion among them NiEBuHR
and ARNOLD. The Old Guard is published by
VAN EvRIE, HORTON i Co., New York.
BEADLE's MONTHLY, for May, has made it's
advent, and we notice decided Improvement over
previous numbers. .-
The NORTH AMERICAN REv1Ew.-The April num-
Der is the first we have seen Of this venerable
and highly respectable quarterly since before the
war. The Review is publishedby TIcKNoR FIELDS,
in Boston, and in the North is considered the su.
preme Court OF Literature. We are not entitled
to an opinion in the matter, not having read 1t
regularly in 40 long time. The number before
us has the following very tempting table Of con-
tents: .l,,.I - :. g." ~ - :.' -
:. i. The Error Of De Toqueville, by Hon. Edward
Emerson. 4. The New York Herald, by James
Parton; %. Carlyle's Frederick the Great, by

A rich bill Of fare, truly, to which GONE OF the
FIRST magnates Of (Northern) American Etera-
ture contribute. The articles are nearly all mark
ed by great ability. or course we caI not sub.
kcribe to everything herein set forth and advo-
Dated, but We do not allow mere difference Of
opinion to mar our pleasure in the perusal of
well-written essay on an abtruse subject ,,.,
! We May have occasion at another time to revert
to some Of these papers, after we shall have read
them more carefully.
