EDITORS' OOKKBBPONDBNOE. Conim?ult(or aud Ml Comunutl. To the A'dUors of the American Telegraph. Gbmtlkmkn : You remark in your paper of this data, that the writers who oooupy the as signad column on your third page will express their own sentiments, hut not necessarily yours. 1 am gratified at this, for I should not like to see you, or any other geutlemeu in whom 1 feel interested, occupying the position in which the endorsement of "Commentator" would place ^ He has it upon his conscience that he ""I1?1 regulate and oonduot all the Departments o e General Government, or they will perish, ana he be held accountable. Alas, to ?hat a con dition have we descended! Our Governmen dependant for its existence upon one whose highest appreciation of its interests u, that un less the places, and especially the emoluments of office, shall fall to him and his friends, all is wrong, all is corrupt, all is unsafe ! , It is very to nic tli&t li6 hiiouIu. tako | pains to preserve the purity of the Whig escut cheon, while he is himself, from day to day, doing his utmost to tarnish it by blackening the fame of its proudest and most honored members. In regard to the Gardiner claim, he gropes for facts in the dark?arrives at conclu sions in the dark?strikes in the dark, stabs in the dark?and makes himself in general ridic ulous. It is well known to Bome, and soon will be to many and to all, that he will b^ve to take back his accusations, and unsay nearly all his &ssertion8. Respecting the retention hi office or the ele vation of Democrats, if Commentator would be candid, he oould complain but little as a Whig. If this whole Administration has not done a full share of the work of " rewarding its friends and punishing its enemies," 1 would liko to know what administration ever did! He has singled out examples in a very un lucky way; for if he has the truth and candor | I think ho must possess in oommon with all fair men, he will in a moment confess that the chief clerk of the Treasury Department and Mr. King are two of the most faithful, competent | and satisfactory officers employed in the ser vices of the Government. He will not, and no | one will, make any objection to these gentlemen, officially or personally. Whatever may be their political opinions, I know that they retain their places, and have even been advanced with the assent and good-will of very many as good "Whigs as ever Commentator was; and the sin of keeping such men in is one which a great many Democratic Secretaries and other appoint ing officers have often committed. Commentator is engaged in a small business, and will not profit by it. He only hopes to operate on Whigs; and, in the very act of at-] tempting this, is forfeiting the good opinion of that party. But the strangest thing about him is that, while nobody is Whig enough for him, he is doing his worst against Whiggery. My advice to him would be to postpone all further criticism until he places himself in a position to produce an effect?until he can honestly claim to be a Democrat, and then let him carry on an open, undisguised war. But the Administration is getting along pret ty prosperously; and it is thought by some who know how matters stand, that Mr. King will re main in statu quo, Mr. Harington grow in pop ularity and strength, and Mr. Corwin not go to the penitentiary! ... . .4 The present is a pure Administration, and its history will reflect honor upon the country for centuries after even Commentator himself shall have been forgotten. f Respecting his friend, Major McRea, I have only to say that if his statement is true, the President has been deceived. I have known Major McRea in a sunnier clime, and in more prosperous days; and if there is a man who deserve* well, especially of Mr. Fillmore, lie is that ma*. His case, 1 am sure, needs only to be understood to be righted, and Mr. Fillmore is just the man to do it. But Commentator will do no good by advocating Major McR. s cause. He will damage it, and all other causes he may espouse in the spirit he exhibits. J r Patbia, non Pahs. Washington, August 22, 1851. To the Editort of the American Telegraph. GawTLKMKN : I have heard it stated, on good authority, that Mr. Secretary Corwin, some time since, said to a Whig applicant for office, or for promotion in office, who handed to the Secretary a letter of recommendation from Hen ry Clay, 44 Why do you bring a letter from Mr. Clay ? He can never be President! Why not get some rising constable, in your own vicinage, to recommend you ?" It is currently rumored, that, since the fore Koine incident occurred, Mr. Secretory Corwin has declared to a friend that the .Whig party is broken up, ond is no where ; that Judge Do? g las will be the next President of the United States, and that he will give him his support If these things are true, do they in the least conflict with the line of conduct now pursued bv Mr. Secretary Corwin toward the party which ?bled him to ?Ul? offioe T Washiboton, August in.

OWING to the Istr. revolutions and counter-revolutions among the nations of Europe, which have followed each other in such quick succession, and of which " the end is not y>t," the leading periodicals of Great Britain liuve become Invested with a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjointed, and necessarily lmperfiset records of the newspapers, and the elaborate anil ponderous treaties to be furnished by the historian at a future day. Whoever reads these periodicals obtains a correct and connected ac count of hII the important political events of the Old W orld, as they occur, and learns the various conclusions drawn from them by the leading spirits of tho age. The American publishers therefore deem it proper to call re newed attention to the works tliey publish, and the very low prices at which they are offered to subscribers. The following is their list, vix : The London Quarterly Review, The Edinburgh Review, Tiie North British Review, The Westminster Review, and Blackwood's Edinbueoh Magazine. In these periodicals are contolned the views, moderately though clearly anil firmly expressed, of the three greatest parties in England?Tory, Whig, and Radical; " Black wood"' and the " London Quarterly" ore Tory, the " Edin burgh Review" Whig, and the "Westminster Review" Liberal. The " North British Review" owes its establish ment to the hurt great ecclesiastical movement In Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand de partments of human knowledge. It was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and uow, since his death, Is conducted by his son-lu-lew, Dr. llanna, associated with Sir David Brewster. lt? literary character is of the very highest order. The " Westminster," though reprinted under that i title only, is published In England under the title of the " Foreign Quarterly aud Westminster," it being in tact a union of the two Kevlews formerly published aud reprinted under separate titles. It has. therefore, the advantage, by tills combination, of uniting in one work the best features of both, us heretofore issued. The above Periodlusls are reprinted in New York,Inline (lintelv on their arrival by the British steamers, in a beau tiful clear type, on fine white paper, and are faithftil co pies of the originals?Blackwood's Magaxine being an ex act foe simile of the Edinburgh edition. terms: For any one of the four Reviews, $3 00 per annum.
