The Nashtitle Whig says or the election in Tennessee: Thus far the news is decidedly unfavarablo to the Whigs. Mr. Clay's majority over Mr. Folk in the whole State, was only 113 votes. Mr. Foster has already fallen behind Mr. Clay's majority five or six hundred votes, and elioulJ the returns from a few more counties continue tJ exhibit a corresponding loss on the part of the Whig', the general result will prove unfavorable for them beyond a doubt. itculuckr Election. The return of the election are very incomplete. We give the following summary, says the Louisville Courier, of results and probable results so fir as ascertained : Fi'st District. No opposition to Boyd, LocofocÖ. Second District. The contest is between McIIcnry Whig, and McCrecry, Loco, and the result is unknown. Third District. G rider; Whig, is probably elected. Fourth District. We learn from the Danville Tribune, tliat Caldwell, Loco, is probably re-elected ia this District. Fifth District. Tk. Younj, Whig, is elected over Stone, Loeofijco. . SLclk District. In thia District, the contest is between Messrs. McKee and Adams, Whig, arH Martin. Locofoco. The result from the returns received is doubtful. There ia a strong probability of the election of Martin. Seventh District. Thomisson is elected by 250 or Söü majority over Nuttalh Eighth District. Davis's majority over Marshall i about G50 votes. Ninth District. The Lexington Observer, of Saturday express a belief that Trumbo may have defeated French. Tenth District. It sferai to be generally conceded that Tl'Jbaits is is re-elected over Gains by a small majority. Uy later advices it appears that six "Whigs and two Democrats have been elected to Congress. Of ten Senators to bo chosen, the Whigs have elected five and the Democrats four and perhaps five. 40 Whigs and 25 Democrats are reported to have been elected to the House of Representatives, the returns of which are yet incomplete. From the New York Morning News. The Democratic licvittiv Ticw Volume? Itctlactiou of Price The Democratic Review was published yesterday S3 a double number fur July and August a change and reorganization of the publishing arrangements at the end of the year closing on the liOlh June, having mado it convenient to issue the two numbers in this way. It will be seen from the Prospectus, in the advertising columns, that the subscription price is reduced from to fur the purpose of multiplying its circulation, and of bringing it within the reach of thousands who before felt themselves unable to subscribe to the work, however they desired to be among its readers. The I'late of th"e present number is a fine mezzotint portrait of Mr. Elair, late of the Globe. It is an excellent likeness, from a recent portrait by Sully, and is engraved by Sartain. The portrait announced for the next (September) number is one of "Jackson in his Last Days," being a beautiful mezzotint from the admirable Daguerreotype taken by Anthony and LA wards a lew weeks betöre the death of the old man and pronounced by Mr. Van Büren and others to civ a more perfect idea of General Jackson than any othor portrait. A portrait of Cave Johnson, the lotmas ter ocncr.u, is to loiiow. A highly interesting feature of the present number is the fuc-simile of the concluding paragraph from General Jackson 8 letter to Mr. Blair, of Apnl Uth llo commencing ' This may be the last letter may be able to write you. Dut live or dead I am you friend, &c. and going on to bequeath to him his pa pers and the guardianship of bis fame, so far as jus tice may be dune to it. tvery reader will be eurpns ed that so shortly before hu death, while in a state of such extreme feebleness and suffering, he should have written so firm and strong a hand. The letter, from which it is the concluding paragraph, occupied five pages sim.Iarly written. It would seem that the great reduction thus made in the price of the Democratic Review, simultaneous ly with the great fecuction of postage its monthly portraits being continued jnd greatly improved in style of execution ought to secure for it very gfeat accession of subscribers. The contents of the present double number are of great variety, as will appear from the table : 1. Statue to Jackson. 2. Annexation. 3. Blair, of the Globe, (w ith fine mezzotint portrait.) 4.

General Harmob, has cultiva tod nearly forty varieties of that grain, with the view of determining the kind mo6t advantageons for the far mcr ia those regions. The Albany Argus says that be has recently been testing the quantity uF tlie Aguirre wheat, ltely imported from IS pa in. The specimen seen by the editor of that paper w that pre scnted to the State Agricultural Society'. It is said to weigh sixty-eight prounds and a half to the bushel ; and the quality i even more remarkable than the weight. A few bushels, sufficient to sow a small field of Harmon's experimental farm, have been' forwarded to " Wheatland." The result of the experiment will be exhibited at Uie State Jrair of Ib4ü. The Farmeks or Michigan refuse to take anything but specie for thtir new wheat. Eetween hard times and soft currency they have been pretty well reduced in pocket. As the times have grown belter they have determined to hare a better currency, being quite sat jsaca, irom experience, or tne met, titat paper at a discount of from twenty-five to fifty per cent, is not the kind of money to receive as an equivalent for the product of their industry and hard labor.

Angust Elections have taken

California ami its IScsoiirccs. We a day or two Bince gave a brief sketch of California, as gathered from several chapters of the "Exploring Expedition,' by Ca pt. Wilkes. The subject is fullof iuterest, and wc therefore proceed to cull out a few more facts and statements. The visit, it fehould be remembered, was made in 1911. Capt. W. says that the greater part of the wealth of the people of California consists of live stock. The cxportations, on the average of years, are about one hundred and fifty thousand hides, and two hundred thousand arrobas of tallow. The standard price for the former is two dollars, while tbe latter is worth one dollar and fifty cents the arroba. A few beaver skins are obtained, which do not exceed two thousand, and are valued

at two dollars a piece. From four to five hundred sea otter skins are brought in ry American hunters, which arc valued at thirty dollars each. Wheat has been exported to the Ivussian posts, to the amount of twelve thousand bushels, of which the average price is about fifty cents a buShcl. Of late, however, it has risen to two dollars and fifty cents, in consequence of the great drought that has prevailed. Among the exports may be enumerated about three thousand elk and deer skins, which are valued at from fifty cents to a dollar each. The whole merchantable products mar be estimated at less than a million of dollars. The yield of wheat il remarkable, and in some places, where the land is well situated, very large returns are received. Mr. Spears, of Verba Buena, informed Capt. W. that he had delivered to an active American farmer thirty bushels of wheat for seed, at a time when it was difficult to obtain it, un der an agreement that he should have the refusal of the crop at the market price. In the July following he uelivcrcd Lira three thousand bushels, and on its delivery he discovered that the farmer had reserved six hundred bushels fur him-elf ; and this, without estimating the loss from bad reaping and treading out with horses, would give one hundred and twenty for one. This is not considered a fair criterion or average, as the land was remarkable fur its richness and was well attended to; but Mr. Spears and several others assured him that the average would be as high as eighty bushel j yielded for one planted. Indian rorn y iolj well. s also potatoes, beans and peas.' The cultivation of vegetables is increasing rapidly, and supplies id these latter articles may be had iu abundance and of the finest quality. Tbe country appears to be well adapted to grapes. Those that hare been tried at the missions yield mostabund antly ; and about two hundred casks, each of eighteen gallons, of brandy, and the same quantity of wine mi . a are made, lue cultivation 01 the grape increases yearly, but is not sufficient for the supply of the coun try, a large quantities of foreign wines and liquors are imported, which pay an enormous duty. The salmon fishery, if attended to, would, in the opinion of Capt. Wilkes, be a source of considerable profit. Eut the people are paid to bo indolent, and to live With as little trouble as possible. At the mis siuns, coarse articles arc manufactured, such as blan kets and wearing apparel for the Indians. Soap and leather are also manufactured. 1 here are in Califor nia, only two or three water mills for grinding flour, and these are owned by foreigners. The mills in gen eral use in the country, are composed of no more than two burr stones. To the upper stone a cross beam is secured, to which mule power is applied. In most of the instances there is to be found a mill in an apart mcnt adjoining the kitchen, if not in it. The whole is as primitive, as well can be, although the captain has no doubt it answers all the wants of this rude and indolent people. From all accounts, besides cattle, tbo country is well adapted to the raising ot Mieep, which simply require watching, as they can find plenty of nutritious food the whole year round ; but there has been no at tention paid to this sort of stock, and the wool is of very ordinary reality, i he mutton is thought to be of very fine flavor. The usual price for a shecp is from one dollar and fitly cents to two dollar, when a choice is made for killing. Hogs are raised in some parts, and might be fed to great advantage on the acorns which are abundant on the hills' where the land is not susceptible cf cultivation, fork may be packed at th fee dollars 1 lie hundred weight. What adds to the facility of doing this business, is the fact that large quantities of salt collect in the ponds in the dry season, which may be obtained for the expense of carting it. The number of Indians is variously estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000, while others place them as low as fcKXX) or Ü000. The principal part of these are tho trib? on the Sacramento. The whites. Caul. W. estimates at about SIHX), with alwut 2000 more of mixed blood. The whole population of Upper California at the date of the visit, is given at about 13,000 souls. The health and robustness of the wild inhabitants seem remarkable, and must be attributed to the fine climate, as well as to their simple diet. This consists of beef roasted upon the coal.-?, a few vege tables, and the tortilla, which is a thin cake, made o: corn fneal, and baked upon a s!eet of iron. Throo-rh out the country, both with t;e rich and poor, this is the general fare but some few luxuries have been lately introduced, among which are rice and tea. Th latter is used so sparingly, that the discoloration of the water is scarcely perceptible. At tbe missions they live after the Spanish fashion I lie children are, for the most part, left to take car of thenrselves, and run about naked and dirty. They are' generally robust, and thcJr relative number seems to" be very great; thus, it is by no means uncommon to see lamuies oi rotrriecn or nneen children : and an instance was mentioned of a woman near Verba Bu cna, who had had twenty-six. A large number die from accidental falls from horses, with which from their earliest childhood Oiey are accustomed to" be' eh raired. Thev earlv become exr,ert and fearless riders O f 4 it r and this skill is not confined altogether to the rcaTe sex ; the women are almost equally expert. Fam lies with numerous members are seldom met with who have not had to mourn the loss of several o: their number from casualties of this kind. Although the Californians are comparatively few in number, yet they have a distxuetire character. De ecended from the old Spaniards, they are unfortunate ly found to have all their vices, without a proper diare of their virtues ; they are exceedingly fend of gam bung, which is equally in favor with the male and femai portion of the community. Their games con sist in cards, dice, &c. Their amusements are cock fighting, bull and bear a . i . . caning, and dancing : these are tne predominant or. cupations f their lives, always accompanied whh excessive drinking. Tafties of amusement, to which the surrounding population is invited are frequent these generally last for three days, and rarely break up without some quarrel. Weddings are particularly liable to these disorders. and at each of the three last that took place at and in the vicinity of Verba Buena, previous to the visit there, a life was lost by the coceillo. This weapon is always worn, and is promptly re3orted to in all their quarrels. The female portion of the community are ignorant, degraded, and the slaves of their husbands. They are very tond ot dress, and will make any sacrifice, even their own honor, to gratify it. The men have no' trades,-and depend for every thuig upon the Indi ansaime missions, eome or wriotn arc quite inge nious, both as carpenters and blacksmiths. The whites are so indolent, and withal have so rhuch pride. as to make them look upon all manual labor as degrading in truth, they regard all those who work as beneath them ; they in consequence, can never be in duced to labor.- An anecdote was related to me of one who had been known to dispense with hra dinner. although the food was but a few yards off, because the Inuian was not at hand to brinz it to him. -PhiL Enq. More Oxderdonkism S. II.-Fny, rrircipalcf the episcopal female bcnool.at JHohtpelier Springs, Ga., nas had a call recently lrom Lis-hop Llliott and II. G. Lamar, of Savannah, touching the reports in circula tion at iUacon and elsewhere about certain lmnroDrictics of said Fay with trie young ladies under his charge. The Macon papers.are silent as to the result of the Eishop's investigation. This" information we get froin the Columbus Democrat. Tub Fiest entire cargo- of Tobacco ercr sent from this country to'St Petersburg, was taken out by the ship Henry Shelton, which sailed from Baltimore a few days ago. The cargo consisted of seven hun dred hogsheads of tobacco, and was valued at S110,000. From that ' lebrated mint, the Lnuisrillc Jotirni!. tbe Whigs circulate a Roorback that Mr. Benton says the Democrats committed " a blunder " in nominating Mr. folk. Do Mr. Clay's friends think it was a blunder ?

"Wait-not so fast ; let me see, my dears, which of you is right 1" Airs. Thompson appealed immedi atcly to her book ; after a long and private communication with which, she emphatically pronounced both wrong. "Give us a chance, mother," said Bob in a whee dling" tone, (Bob knew his mother's weakneesess.) Them's such hard words. I don't know how it is, but I never can remember 'em. Just tell us the first syllable ; oh, do now please !' ' Oh. I know now !" cried Alec. "It's something with a G in it." "Think of the apostles, dears.

"No, Peter's right: but there's something else What has vour father been taking down the beds fof !" There was a solemn silence, and the three in dustrions sisters blushed the faintest blush that could be raised upon a maiden's cheek. "To rub that stun? upon the wall !" 6a id tbe ready Alec. , "Yes. but what was it to kill !" continued tho in structrcss. "The fleas," paid Bob. "Worse than that, my dear." "Oh.

Thompson looKed at me wmi panionauie van ity and triumph, and I bestowed upon the thiccessfu students a few comfits which I had purchased on my road for my numerous and comht-loving lricnds. Government of Children. Mrs. Conant, the Ed itress of the Mother's Monthly Journal, gives a pret ty good specimen of family management in the fo. loving dialogue : Child. Mother, I want a piece of cake. 'Mother. I haven't got any it's all gone. C.l know there is some up in the cupboard saw it when you opened tne door. M. Well, you don't need any now ; cake hurts children: C No it don't ; (whining,) I want a piece of cake. 1 want a piece of cake. M. Be 6till, I say ; I shan't give you a bit if you dorr t leave oil crying. C. (Still crying, I want a piece of cake ; I want a piece of cake. M. (Rising hastily and reaching a piece.) There, take that, and hold your tongue ! fc&l it up quickly I hear Ben coming. No'w dou't tell hin! you've had any. .. (Ben enters.) C. I're had a piece of cake ; you can t have any. Ben. Yes I will : mother give roe a piece. M. There,- take that j it seems as if I never could keep a bit of any thing in the house, kouscesir (to the child,) if you get any thing next time. (Another room.) C. I've had a piecö of cake r Young Sister .-Oh, I want some too: C. Well, you bawl; and mother'H give you piece. Piürsert IiiiLosoPHr. woman, what are you whipping that child for T tor crying; 6o you say! That is an original mode of closing the little crea ture's tear ducts a new way of assuaring infantile grief. Little Breeches is crying because he feels bad and he has as much right to feel bad as" yon. His on ly plaything has sustarncd irreparable damage, and his guef is poignant. Did you experience but a Jit tie of the grief which now agitates his little bosom you would skulk and sob for whole days, while he blows it straight out, and in nttccn minutes it is over with. How would you like to be whipped for indulg ing in your peculiar griefs in your own way ! And what though his mode is somewhat clamorous ! What if he does stand astraddle in tho middle of the room a Hood ot tears washing clean streaks down his coun tenance, his mouth wide open,- shouting fifth to the whole neighborhood his lamentations ! his go cart has broken down, and lie don t care who knows it. Ri'les for House-Wives. When you rise in the morning, never he particular about pinning your clothes so very nicely you can do that at any time Never comb your hair, or take otF your nirrht-cap till after breakfast. Never have any particular place for anything in the house. Ixever sweep your floor until you know that some che is coining in they will then see how fi'caf and tidy you are. When done sweep ing, leave your broom on the floor, never brush down cobwebs. Keep your parlor and bed-room' windows shot close in the dog-days, and your cheeses in your bed-chambers. IVever learn your daughter tarnend or make any of ther clothes, it might give them sore fingers. Never repress the truth of a joke.- for fear of hurting people's feelings. If you don't like your husband as well as you- oaght, out with it, and con vince him that you ave not a respecter of persons Don t try to keep your temper, let it olf as soon and ast as possible, you will then be as quiet as cider with the cork drawn nine hours. Another Financial Operation. 'An existing top ic of conversation in Charlestorr, S. C., a letter writer n one of tlie Journals states the deficiency of some $20,000 in the funds of one of the banks in this city, or rather in the vashier s lundT. facka ges done up some as far back as 1S35 were sealed with the cashier's official seal, and signed by the old president, and the old cashier, both now dead. On opening the bundles, in the place of finding $20,000, they found a sixpence worth of paper cü. in bill form, ami nicely stowed into" the packages. Ihe noney is gone, but who has taken it is the question to be solved.

Strange rETKirACTiox. A Sir. Woodward, of Warren county, O., said to be a man of veracity, gives the Editor of the Eaton Register the following account of a Tetrified Woman; It occurred near Lebanon, On the sixth day of last month, our venerable and much esteemed friend, John C. Irwin, closed his earthly career, in tlie full hope of a happy immortality. On the following day an appropriate funeral discourse was delivered by Elder V . Clark. His remains were decently interred in tlie grave yard near West Lebanon Some time previous to his death, he had expressed a desire that the body of his first wife should be remov ed to tins grave yard. Accordingly, on the 1:1th ult. the citizens ot .Lebanon undcrtooK to remove tlie re mains of Mrs. Irwin. I went with others in searc of her grave. We found it on a very high point of white oak ground, near Kock leck, where they had formerly lived. And when we had opened the grav down to the coffin, we found it about one fourth in water, and the plank of the coffin very rotten : how ever, we got several pieces of bark under it, to bind It together, and lift it out. 1 rom the great weight ot the coffin, we were curious to see it opened ; and to our utter astonishment, there Jay the body in full size It was covered with a thin scum of black dirt, which appeared to be alive with very little worms, of a yel low color, but they soon disappeared, wben exposed to the air. When we tame to examine more miaute ly, we found that the body had petrified, and become a smooth white limestone in appearance. The head and neck had petrified, and nothing remained but the naked bone, and the hairs of the head,- and some feathers which had been in a pillow. Her arms had petrified at the elbow joint, and nothing remained of the lower part of the arms and hands, but the na ked bones. The feet had also petrified, snd fell off at the ankle joint ; and the stone appeared shelly. At tlie knee joints, the legs appeared to be solid stone. Around each leg, where she wore her garters being very fleshy woman the garters had made a deep impression, and this impression was plainly visible in the stone, except some parts where it appeared solid. The thickness of the stone was about that of common Spanish sole leather. Remarkable Case. "An Irishman employed on the posts for the Magnetic Telegraph which are to be planted through the City and are now being prepared on the Jersey side of the river, died on Tuesday under the most extraordinary circumstances, lieing requested to cet some water to drink, he took his pail and started off irr the direction opposite to the well, (which he had often visited.) The others called after him and told him of his error, when he turned about, went to the well and filled his pail, and began his return at first in an ordinary walk, then faster, and gradu ally increasing, his speed until he passed hrs com pamons on a full run, which crew faster until it seemed to far surpass the utmost conceivable power of the human frame.

A wise girl would win a lover by practising those virtues which secure admiration when personal charms nave tailed. A simple girl endeavors to recommend herself by the exhibition of frivolous accomplishments and a mawkish sentiment, which are as shallow as her mind.

GREATXT REDUCED TRICE rnoM !3 TO üj TER AXXCJf. Single Copy, 25 Cents. Prospectus of the next (or 17110 Volnme. TUb price of the Democratic Review bas heretofore beea too hib not for its size, coft, aad character, bat for the means of tens of thousands cf leaders who would be glad to receive it, and among whom it is highly desirable that it should ciiculate. Kor the purpose, tbcrelore, of largely widening the range of its usefulness, and of multiplying Iba numbers of tho to whom it may be accessible, it bas been determined, simultaneously with the great reduction in tbe expcne of tbe postage, to reduce it subscription pi ice als.

liom Fite to only Three dollars and wben several onue in subciiption, to as low as $2 60, or even $2 30 per annum. This very large reduction in tbe receipts (accompanied with but a compaiatively small diminution of its expenses) involves, of course, an enti:e sacrifice of ptvtt upon it, un less compensated by a vast multiplication of it subscribers. I There will be at the outset only a small reduction ia its number of pajei ; soon to be testored to its old number, without i increase oi price, wnen me anucipaiea the auticipateii success ol tbe ex periment ball justify it. The Portrait of Distinguished Democrats will be continued engraved in better and more costly style than heretofore. The Fostage will hereafter, for any distance, be only r and a half cents ; it has heretofore been, fut over 100 miles, eighteen cents. We look: fur an extension of circulation to be reckoned by frm of thousands, is the result and compensation cf tbia gieat reduction of piice. Lvery friend of the work, and of the Democratic principles and cause, i confidently appealed to, to exert bimwlf with an active interest to procure it sub-; tcribeis; both to extend its ustfulnes. and to carry it successfully tbroi:h the crisis of this gieat reduction of its receipts. Those who h.ve paid in advance for the corning year, will receive it, at tbe reduced rate, for a year and a half. TERMS HENCEFORWARD.

The admirable Daguerreotype of General Jackson, taken by Anthony, Edwards ti Co. a few weeks before bis death, has tben purchased for tbe use of tbe Democratic Review. It is in tbe bands of tbe artist, Vnd will be engraved in the finest sly le of mezzotint, of extra size. It is a most beautiful and interesting work, declared by Mr. Yan Buren and others to give a more perfect idea of the great and good old man than any other likeness ; and ought to be possessed and framed by every friend who loves or reveres his memory. Tbose who subscribe early will receive it as one of tbe regular series of Portraits. . PKoerECTrs of The "Congressional Ciiion' and pendix," Ac THE undersigned respectfully inform the public that, with tbe commencement of the appioacbinf; session of Congfkts, they will begin tbo publication of tbe "Congressional Union" and "Appendix." Tbo first will contain a full and accurate hi-tory of tbe daily proceedings of both branches of the national legislature. It will be compiled with such car, that every citizen wbo is inteiested in tbe pu-lic affairs will find it a complete synopsis of their proceedings, and a ready book of reference uoa all queUiont which coat twfora them. The second, (the "Appendix,) will contain very speech which is delivered in tbe House of Representatives andSea ate during the session, reported at length by a full and abla corps of congressional reporters, and revised before publica tion by the authors, whenever it is requested. These two woiks will be strictly impartial, and are intended to be aa interesting and ujtful lo the man of business, and to tbe pol itician of the one party, as of tbe other. It may be said, without exaggeration, that tbe next session of Congi ess is destined to be one of Ihe most important which bas taken place since tbe foundation of the government. It is ihe long session. It is tbe session which will devclope the general p!an of tbe present administration. Its measures will (tamp tbe character of our institutions for years to come. Some of the most important questions which are connect! d with our foreign relations, or oui domestic concerns, will be presented for tbeir consideration. Tbe final mcasuie of ratifying tbe constitution of Texas, which if to consummate her admission into our Union, and the admission of her members into our public councils every measure which affects tbe Oregon question our relations with Mexico as well as th final decision on the revived ZollVerein treaty, these, and other measures which are aoore or less connected with our foreign relations, will ccme under the review of tbe approaching Congress. Most of tba eminently important quei-tiona which relate to our internal concerns the revision cf tbe tariff tbe adoption of th best mode for preserving tbe public moneys a variety of commercial measures perhaps the best system of regalatinf the important interests of Texas the Indiao questions th land question the best system for our navy, tbest ana others will constitute a mass of business which is calculated to command much of Ibe lime of Congress, and much of Iba attention of the people. Tbey will all be reported by tba "Congressional Union." The Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly Union, will, at usual, embiace an interesting variety of matter on political, scientific, and literary subjects, along with tbe cunenl newt of tbe day. Tbe editor will continue to devote all hit energies to the improvement of "The Union." He finds many accomplished men in this city. Tbe administration has brought with it a considerable accession of talents. Several tried and distinguished members of tbe democratic partyhave accepted office under it. Some of them have liberally contributed tbeir literary labors to our benefit and we hop to enlist others in our service. Besides, the time is net fax distant wben the editor intends to call other talents to bis assistance. His ambition is, to make bis paper worthy of the mct:opo!is of tbe Union. He is persuaded that, with tha facilities which his position enables bim to employ 1 with the official and other materials placed wiihin his reach and with the aid of the correspondence which he is attempting to establish in foicign countries, a paper maybe published which is not unworthy tbe support of bis country. In undertaking the task, be knew be had many difficulties to overcome, many lessons lo learn, many sacrifices to encounter. He knew that, amid the arduous cares of a new theatre, bv could not at first do justice e7ea lo himself; but his xeal has never flagged. What enthusiasm and industry can effect, will be fully accomplished. Some errors he may hava already committed. But upon cne point, he can speak with great pleasure and with equal freedom. The men wbo are administeiirg this government aie working men, aaxioas, as he believes to da their duty, to serve their country, to carry out tbe pledges under which the President was elected, and tbe great principles of the party. So long as tbe administration is conducted in this spiiit, and upon those principles, he is prepared to co-operate with them in Ihe public service t and to Five them, as he promised in bis prospectus. a fair. liberal, and efficient support." We feel a deep sense of gratitude for the prompt manner infwbich our political friends, in every section of the coun try, hare already come forward to sustain the "Union." May we not hope that our fiiends throughout the United Stales will continue to assist our labors, and prevail apon their friends U take some one edition of the "Union." SCrAs this will be the long session of Congress, and will probably last eight months, we have concluded1 to publish the Concessional Union and Appendix on the following TERMS. For The Congif ss'ronal Union, $1 50 per copy. For Tbe Appendix, $1 60 per copy. ' Clubs will be furnished with Ten copies of either of th above woiks for $12 1 Twenty-five copies for $25.
