THE AMERICAN REVIEW.. '
Thai Iterling WWg Parioaicai'liaa j'eafhei it third
Number, Volum. 3, and fully suatalpa iU high char
acter. It commenced in a tim. of depression and dis
aster.'and its failure was .onCdentiy predicted by ma
ny, who have no relish for its doctrines; and greatly
feared by some of its friends, who heartily wished it
.Well. 'The success of the enterprize, we are. happy
to be assured, is no longer problematical. Its sub
scription list is large, though, by no trftans, a large
as the work deserves. Every leading Whig, ftpm
Passamaquoddy to the Rio Grande, ouglit to read this
Whig journal." It ia addressed, so far as it is a po
litical work, to Hi a intellect and sound judgment, of
its readers. It discusses grave questions of State,
with dignity and distinguished ability. It has no
slang, or arguments ' af caionduw.' Th. only ar
ticle itt Uiii number, of a political cast, is entitled
"Tha" Administration and the Country;" In which
are discussed with great force, the absorbing question
of oar Oregon claims of Peace and War!" There
are ahrbwell written articles of Criticism, Philosophy,
Poetry, and stirring Adventure, which da credit to the
UteraTji taste of the Editor and his contributors.
This Number is graced with, en elegant and accu
rals likeness of Seuutor Mangum ; "and; a sketch of
the life and public services of this dittingijishe' States
-manris promised for the April numbe. This sketch
wHI be" eagerly looked for, and read with great inter
est," by thousands in the State, which has so long and
so often delated to Jjenor her talented son. We
may well tie proud, (bat those whom the ojd North
C as cherished,, are, lomrtmtt, appreciated abroad.
We would not be much surprised to see Willie P.
Manhum, Vice President of these Uulltd Statee, at
the very next Election. At all events, the American
Review is a good book,. and iji its pages we are glad
to see the familiar (ace of an honored friend, who hat
" done tii Sta(e some service."

of exrfdiog the Editor, I'nblisiier and Reporters

it appeared jbat the report bad not been under
stood, a. reports were still given in that paper
He therefore offered a. resolution lo carry that
portion of, the report intoeU'eet.
Mr. Ahaogum said he had understood that the
report concurred in on Monday, contained an or.
der for the expulsion of all connected .with the
(paper; therefore the present Resolution was in
In. opinion totally unnecessary.
Mr. Jarnagin said. that if fucli was the con.
alruction placed upon it by tho presiding officer,
he would certainly withdraw ihu Iteeo'utiun.
'Tba.VtcaPre.ident said he had already given
the order." ,
" Sir. Mangnm observed, that al! he had to .ay
was, that tho 8ergeamt.atrmij' would bo held
peraonally, and. ofbcmljy re.poiuihle for the exe
culion of the order.
Mr. Allen gave, notice that, on Monday, he
would, immediately after. the expiration of the

not be taken b eurpriae. There wat a matter
of great importance that tvouid take aorne time
to attend to, the nature of which be war not a(
