The North American Review for February opens with a symposium in which six prominent theologians representing ks many religious denominations, give expression to their views upon the question of the “Revision of Creeds.” Prof. Alexander Winchell, in an article entitled “The Experiment of Universal Suffrage”, institutes a profound inquiry into the essential conditions of stable popular government, which he finds to be, substantially, virtue and intelligence; but these conditions, he maintains, are absolutely unattainable under , our existing political system, where. an electorate either ignorant or vicious, or both, by the mere force of superior numbers, practically nullifies the suffrages of the better and wiser portion of the people, whose right to control the government of the commonwealth is grounded in, the very nature, of things. Bishop McQuaid writes of “The Decay of Protestantism,” and in essaying to prove his thesis, makes a very adroit use of the admissions of protestant writers. “The Political Situations” is the joint title of two articles, the one by Horatio Seymour, the other by Geo. S. Boutwell, who offer their respective views upon the causes of the recent overthrow of the Republican party. An article by Dr. D. A. Sargent, on “Physical Education in Colleges”, treats a subject of prime importance to. the welfare of the youths in our higher educational institutions. Finally, there are two articles on “The Standard Oil Company”, Senator Camden of West Virgina defending that corporation against its assailants, and John C. Welch setting forth the reasons for condemning it as q. dangerous monopoly. Published at 30 Lafayette Place, New York.
