THEIRS.
\ very handsomely-printed book, Illus
tratcd with passable wood-cuts, and some
OF those battle-scencS which the world
knows to be mere fancy and in the nature
OF things impossible. The scenes OF the
Revolution have grown rather reproachful
than agreeable to this age, when all that
our forcfathers paid for intelligent repub-
licanism and TRUE personal liberty and in
dependence seems to have been thrown
away.

HARPER Il BROTHERS. r....,..
This is. indeed, giL-edged book: one
Of the most valuable OF the day. 1t is pre-
pared from ample material by the author,
and we can hardly suppose that any intelli-
gent gentleman would undertake to write
the life OF so great person without that re-
spect for his memory which would inspire
alike the fidelity and the zeal to do it
Justice.

Westminster Reuie,o for October. Ameri
can edition New York LEONARD, ScoTT
d Co.
Messrs. WoODuoUsE & PAEHAM, agents.
have laid upon our table this Rerieec. We
observe among its articles: Indian Affairs
(British); Political Economy as Safeguard
to Democracy would that it were better
understood by the Radicals in this country;
Shakcspeare's Young Men; Political De-
yelopment and Party Government, &c.
The Westminster is decidedly indepen-
dent in its philosophy about politics and
religion. We are not surprised to see in
the last named article the following opinion:
at is curious to observe that in spite OF
ga simultaneous advance along various diff
"ierent lines, the Democratic principle has
Gin singular and suggestive way begun OF
g late to lose ground" Further on, speak
ing of Democratic institutions, the Vest
minister says: 'sNations have actually lived
''under them, and some OF the results have
"bcen, in the words OF Mr.. LECKEY, 'Sui-
as ticient to cause profound disquitude to
.those who have convinced themselves
%. that Democracy is the ultimate form OF
"' political Development This is what
LEcXEY says in his great work, @ History OF
RationaliSm."
Now this Democracy OF which the West
minister and LECKEY arc speaking is not the
Democracy OF the Democratic party OF this
country which was created from the old
Jetfersonian Republican party Of 1890, and
which inherits from that party enough con-
seryatism TO make it, while not Republican,
not wholly Democratic. The Democratic
party took a step in advance. But it now
finds itself the real conservative party OF
the Union when contrastcd with the Radl-
cal party, which is running the country
into that anarchy which always precedes
the establishment Of arbitrary power.
While the Westminster spoke not OF the
party in this country, it spoke. OF the theory
OF thorough Democracy, whose career in
the world is indeed cause for " disquiet-
ude" with its supporters.
