y E. Benson, at Brooklyn, Conn. Boston, December 3, 1836. Ms. My wife, I suppose, has written Anna an account of our trip Anna Benson. New York—a city which she had long been wishing to see, not because five thousand gentlemen of property and standing, as in Boston, once turned out to mob her husband, (you remember the uproar in October, 1833,)—for she declares that Ante, 1.381. she loves me dearly, and if you will not doubt her word I will not, —but because it is the capital city of America, and swarming, of course, with all kinds of attractions. Little, however, did either of us dream, on leaving Boston, that she and our dear babe would accompany me farther than Providence; but our warm-hearted friend Lewis Tappan laid claim to us all in the cars, and declared that, nolens volens, to New York we should all go—that he would pay our expenses in going and returning, entertain us comfortably at his house during our sojourn in the city, and allow us to remain as long or as shor

Since this old demand is still reasserted from year to year, it may nowell framed to exclude from his consideration most of the important writing in America before the nineteenth century: Literature is the written record of valuable th in asserting that if a certain space be devoted to the colonial literature of America, then, on the same perspective ten times as much is needed to bring the recordte critic. Professor Barrett Wendell in his interesting Literary history of America, published in 9000, presents with even sharper emphasis than Professor Richardhe total effect of the narrative is an impression that the literary history of America is essentially a history of the birth, the renaissance, and the decline of Newre no longer sympathetically understood.

ht slavery would cease before now; but the people became demoralized; the war went back, back, back, until 1854, until all guaranties of freedom in every part of the United States were abandoned, ..... and the flag of the United States was made the harbinger, not of freedom, but of human bondage. At Rochester, he went on to paint the picture of our national wreck so darkly, that his own feelings led him, in conclusion, to declare, that, if the final battle goes against him, he will leave America, shake the dust off his feet, and find a more congenial home; for where Liberty dwells, there is my country. But Mr. Seward closes that speech in hope,--hope grounded on this, that the Republican party has arisen. It is a party of one idea; an idea that fills and expands all generous souls; the idea of equality,--the equality of all men before human tribunals, as they are all equal before the Divine tribunal and laws. That is his rainbow of hope. It is a noble idea,--equality befor

When thought passes through purpose into character, it becomes the unchangeable basis of naen, Disunion! Beautiful on the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth. The sods of Bunker Hill shall be greener, now that their great purpose is accomplished. Sleep in peace, martyr of Harper's Ferry!--your life was not given in vain. Rejoice: spirits of Fayette and Kosciusko!--the only stain upon your swords is passing away. Soon, throughout all America. there shall be neither power nor wish to hold a slave
