published by Geo. Dearborn, New York, has now been in course
of publication nearly two years, and as a reprint of Standard
Literature, competes very favorably with the above. Like all
Mr Dearborn’s publications, it is handsomely got up, and the se-
lections are made with judgment and taste. The seventy-ninth
number is a continuation of the history of Peter the Great. A
history which has in it as much attarctive matter as a romance_
The Christian Library, by Thos. George, Ir. New York.-—
The thirtyfifth number of this work contains a republication of
a series of Essays, from the pen of Robert Philip, of Maberly
Chapel, entitled “The Marys; or, the Beauty of Female Holi-
ness," dedicated to the Princess Victoria, and addressed to the
females of Great Britain.
The National Preacher for December. contains an interesting
Sermon by Dr. Miller, of Princeton Seminary, on the “Glory
of the Lord,” preached at Baltimore, in September, at the an-
nual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for For-
eign Missions. Taylor & Gould, New York.
§ During the whole of the past year, the Whig majority in
the Senate has been slandered, in Congress as well as out of it,
and charged with the loss of the Fortifications bill. Even the
President has reiterated that slander in his last message, know-
ing it to be untrue. That bill, it will be remembered, was re-
turned to the house of Representatives with an addition of near-
1y :1 million of dollars. as agreed upon by a commitme of confer-
ence from both houses. The committee on the part of the house
did not make the report ; and the bill was lost—“7hy'! By re-
ferring -to our Congressional proceedings, it will be seen, because
the President, on hearing of the rejection of Mr. Taney, left the
Capitol in a passion, and refused to sign any more bills. And
why was not the fact divulged before, by the honorable members
who were privy to it’! Because they wanted to calumniate the
Whig members of the Senate, by the most dishonorable means
—by false charges—knowing them to be such. Even Senator
Benton, who as a politician ifnot as a man, is rotten to the core,
had the very day that the truth was revealed to the world, reit-
erated that calumuy. When such men are in the asceudant, we
confess we begin to fear for the state.
The country must stand by the Senate, or prepare to see this
face government merged in a monarchy. The independence of
that body forms the only check upon executive usurpation ; and
some presses have gone so far as to express a wish that it might
be abolished. When such an event shall happen, the balance
of power among the states will be lost, and the smaller be at
the ‘mercy of the greater. Their sovereiugty will become a
nullity; and the President, with a majority of the House of Re-
presentatives at his beck, may easily consolidate his power.—
Such an event may be apprehended; for the march of those doc-
trines which have that event in view, is onward. And, they
are revolutionary, not Democratic.
It is said the object of the Duke of Orleans in his proposed
visit to Algiers, is to make an excursion incognito to Naples,
with the hope of producing a favorable impression on some one
ofthe princesses there, who are his cousins. and with whom, it
is recollected, Admiral De Riguy, on the part ofthe Duke, some
time since attempted an unsuccessful negotiation.
The Journal of Commerce says, we learn from Capt. Isley,
of brig Leo, from Matanzas, that an American and a Spanish
brig near that place, had been captured by pirates, in an open
boat, and all on board murdered. The authorities had sent a
vessel in pursuit,
