The Harpers have recently published a large and handsome octave volume, entitled, l" The Correspondence and Mis-. cellanies of the Hon. John Cotton Smith, IL. D.. formerly Governor of Connecticut with an Eulogy. by the Rev. w. w. Andrews"

 We have not received copy of the work, nor can we learn that there is one in town but knowing we'll the character and talents both of Gov. Smith and his Eulogist, we cannot doubt that it is an able and valuable book.

 The Editor of tho Democratic Review, however, seems to entertain a very differ ent opinion. Hear him.

 "This is a work presenting pery linle merit or attraction. It is mechanically picture to sec, in the present day, the workings of an arist0cratic mind in of- fice-to contemplate one whose every aspiration was arislocratic, and whose narrow and bigoted views were rather SultGU tO O OA NAtC bIAusSAIOu Au0~ to the Governor of noble S,ate."

 The good people of Lilchfield county will be surprised to learn that their fa> vorae and distinguished fellow>citi2en was such an aris:ocra,ic and bigotted be- ing. It possibly might not be imperti> nent to inquire of the tart Editor, wheth> CT he was entirely destitute of "narrow and bigolted views" when he penned tbe above paragraph. However, we must make some allowance on the score of chsri,y-remembering that he belongs to . school of politicians which can sec no public or private virtue except it be eaveloped in the fog of locofocoism.
