OHraTd. september, 1869.
We have said some sharp things about this
magazine. 1t affords us much more pleasure
to commend when we can do so. The Septem-
| Der number of this publication is every thing
that could be desired, containing, rs it does,
articles of great merit both of a substantial
| and light character. 1t has not its equal in
the country for the style and beauty of it's
Typography The editor, speaking Of Orange
ism, in connection with its recent exhibition
in New York, says:
If ever upon earth there existed an institu-
tion base in its aims and brutal in its actions,
1t is called orangeism. From this sweeping
condemnation we have some difficulty in ex-
cepting even the Thugism of India The Thug
has motive for his murders-human, in spite
of its inhumanity. He strangles his victims
Tor the sake OF plumber, spurFed by cupidity
and ideas of Observation-Disclosures. The Orang e-
man commits his outrages against liberty
murders when called upon-with no thou ght
of self, but simply at the detation of a master
who hounds him on and whose hand he is
ever ready to lick, with spaniel-lke servility.
He has no fundamental principle to guide or
than what he can comprehend from hisfaxeEite
shibboleth, To h with the Popew This,
with "No surrender ~ Down with the Pa
pists and a few similar phrases, constitute
the sum and substance of his faith. Americans,
unacquainted with Ireland and its political
artisanships, may deem our language a little
harsh. They would not, if they knew the his
tory OF this Orange organization for, know
ing they would understand it to be as vile a
conspiration as was ever employed to obstruct
nations Independence or o peoples liberty.
That 1t should be on this side the At
lantic is strange enough, and stranger that it's
professions should be tolerated. With all the
freedom which the law accords to public exhi-
billions of every kind, we should have supposed
that in this case the theory would scarce be
carried into practice; and that it is so is but
another proof of the mereiful magnanimity of
a republican people Looking back to the
crimes he has committed against Irelands lib
erty, we would suppose badged Orangeman,
seen upon the streets of New York, would run
the risk of getting strung up to the nearest
lamp-post. 1t would not be much more than
his deserts, though it might not be the correct
way of rewarding them.

Abases. By r. NJ. Davis. ID. C. Seymour,
publisher.
We have read this work, written by the for
mer President of the Bank of Louisiana, 8. On
Public and Private Credit and Banking, and
their Abuses" Mr.. Davis has given brief
analysis of the problem of money and credit
and of capital and labor, and he shows very
conclusively the necessity of thorough reform
in the laws regulating credit and currehcy.
He is the advocate of the interests of the>debtor
classes, whom he calls workingmen OF middle
men between capital and labor, and says they
are the receivers and distributors of wealth.
They borrow money from capitol at interest, to
pay it out to the laboring clhss. That while
the laboring class receives their pay in wages
for work not yet completed, the middlemen get
nothing for their services until the crops are
sold or the products Of labor disposed of.
