HARPER's publications, advertised in this issue, are at the head, each in itsre- spective class. The magazine fills the high position held by 1t for nearly half 3 century, having no superior in artistic or literary merit. The Weekly and Bazaar no other publications attempt to rival. The Bazaar is the standard guide in all matters of fashion, whether of dress, house decoration, or of etiquette, beside being a fine art publication and a valued literary repository A household fitted with all of Harper's publications needs nothing further save a good local weekly like ours, and a reliable daily newspaper.

terence between the methOdS as between
the sending of merchandise by railroad and
by private conveyance. This principal
method of circulation is denied to certain
printed matter, and yet it is declared that
the freedom of circulation is not abridged !
1t is quite evident that this conclusion
proceeds upon the view-it can stand upon
no other-that the freedom of circulating,
admitted to be tanuamount to freedom of
publishing, is not abridged so long as the
citizen has the right to circulate printed
matter in any private manner which he
alone, or with the assistance Of others, may
contrive, and has reference only to the
right to circulate. and no reference to any
right to enjoy the usual public means Of
circulating which his fellow-citizens enjoy,
and for which he is taxed and made to pay
in common with them.
Against this view it seems to US more in
accordance with sense and reason to say
that the emphatic declaration of the consti-
tuition made to forever preserve the
Principal Safeguard of Liberty,
that congress should not pass any law
violated by any law which takes away any
of the ordinary methods Of circulating
printed matter.
There are two principal questions in this
case, and none more important have ever
been submitted to this tribunal. The first
is whether congress may, in virtue of its
authority to make laws necessary and
proper in order to carry into execution the
powers expressly granted to it, pass law
manifestly and avowedly for the sole pur-
pose of suppressing business within q
state, which that state has the right to au-
thorize, and over which congress has no di-
rect control The second Is whether law
prohibiting the circulation OF certain writ
ten and printed matter open to no objection
save that it relates to certain business
not criminal in itself, and permitted by the
laws Of soma Of the states, BY the ordinary
