red. The book had also, as the writings of Cooper had not, the advantage of a distinctly evangelical flavor. How much weight has been carried in other cases by this last quality may be seen in the immense circulation of such tales as Ingraham's Prince of the house of David in the last generation, and Wallace's Ben Hur in the present, both marked by this attribute. Indeed, Mrs. Browning herself subsequently writes of so mediocre a book as Queechy, which partakes of this quality, that Mrs. Beecher Stowe scarcely exceeds it, after all the trumpets. After all reservations have been made, after we have admitted that the method is too plainly that of the preacher, and the verbal style sadly slipshod and commonplace, there is still this much to be said of the book; that it is the work of a writer with a genuine though uncultivated talent for novel-writing, and is therefore likely to outlive many books which, while more skillful, are also more artificial.

Shall we look for that condition in the lucubrations of that romance, raised to the importance of a philosophic dissertation, but much rather inspired, unties and material.--Facts are eloquent, and statistics teach us that, under the superintendence of those masters, so cruel and so terrible, if we are to believe Mrs. Stowe, the black population of the South increases regularly in a greater proportion than the white; while in the Antilles, in Africa, and especially in the so very philanthropic States of the North, the black race decreases in a deplorable proportion.--How could Mrs. Beecher Stowe reconcile this fact with her extraordinary assertions? The condition of those blacks is assuredly better than that of the agricultural laborers in many parts of Europe — Their morality is far superior to that of th

Decline of Beecher Stowe --The silly cant which concluded Lord Russell's speech — the appeal to the passions and prejudices of a bygone age, when Englishmen knew no more about Southern slavery than Mrs H B Stowe could tell them — the endeavor to cover a false position and wind up successfully a lame defence by eliciting a cheer for emancipation — was worthy of no audience above the level of a tavern debating society. The blunder showed how completely the speaker mistook the general feelStowe could tell them — the endeavor to cover a false position and wind up successfully a lame defence by eliciting a cheer for emancipation — was worthy of no audience above the level of a tavern debating society. The blunder showed how completely the speaker mistook the general feeling not only of his immediate audience, but of English society in general. Once satisfied that the negro, though called a slave, enjoys as much happiness and personal freedom as he is capable of turning to good account, no educated Englishman is disposed to indulge in sentimental pity for his imaginary degradation; while the manful efforts of a people of English blood, inheriting to the full our English love of liberty and pride of national independence, to preserve the rights they have hit
