SEARS' PICTORIAL FAMILY PUBLICATIONS
are decidedly the best books that agents can possibly em
ploy their time in supplying to the people of the United
States. They are valuable for reference, and should be
possessed by every family In this great republic. There is
not a city or town in these United States, not even those
of small importance, but contains many citizens to whom
these works are indispensable. They are adapted to the
literary wants of the Christian, the patriot, the statesman,
and the domestic circle, got up in a superior style of art
and workmanship; and are not only such books as will
sell, but are such as an agent of good principle will feel
free to recommend, and willing to see the purchaser again
after they have been bought.
Our Plaji.?The plan the publisher has so successfully
oairied out for several years, is the obtaining responsible
c en as agents, who are well known in their own counties,
owns, aud villages, and have time and disposition to cir
culate good and instructive' books among their neighbors
and friends. Any person wishing to embark in the enter
prise will risk little in sendivg $'26 or $50, for which he
will receive an assortment as he may direct, at the whole
sale cash prices.
Enterprising and active men of respectability and good
address, would do well to engage in the sale of the above
volumes; and all postmasters, clergymen, book ppdlars,
and newspaper agents, are respectfully requested to act
as our agents. A handsome remuneration allowed to all
who engage in their sale. For particulars address, post
paid, ROBERT SEARS, 128 Natuad street, N. Y.

any alteration or abridgment, (including this notice,) and

At a time when both the,situation of our own
domestic affairs aud the state of revolutionary
feeling in Europe rentind us of the wealth,
commercial spirit, and revolutionary exploits
of the country commouly culled Holland, it
will probably prove interesting, and certainly
instructive, to look into the history of this
former republic, but now kingdom with much
of the republican spirit still running through
its institutions.
That State which assumes to itself the title
of "Empire State" was origin&lly settled by
the commercial enterprise of this great people,
and multitudes of these who now in/iabit it are
the posterity of natives of that country.
We shall endeavor to present to our readers,
in as condensed a manner as possible, a histori
cal account of Holland, or the Netherlands,
from the time when its history becomes an ob
ject of obviouB interest in the nnnals of Europe,
aud of deep philosophical interest to the man
! who believes in the philosophy of history. We
j propose to do this in a few successive numbers.
Tho development of the history of this coun
try will show the growth of its power, and de
velope the sources of its great opulence at the
present day ; aud the knowledge of these things
will suggest most salutary reflections.
In geography, Holland,is an appellation ap
plied to the seven Uuited Provinces collectively,
viz: Guelderland, Holland, Zealand, Utrecht,
Overyssel, Groningcn, and Friesland, but prin
cipally belonging to the chief of them. This
country, once a celebrated republic, derives its
nume from the German word llohl, which is
synonymous with the English word hollow, and
denotes a concave or very low country. The
people are called Dutch, from the German
Deutsch, or Tcutsch; but Dculschland properly
signifies the vast extent of Germany itself,
though by the English restricted to a small
portion, using a dialect of the German language.
These provinces extend from the north of Gro
uingen to the southern boundary, along Aus
trian Flanders and Brabant, about one hundred
and fifty English miles ; and in breadth from
the north sea to the kingdom of Westphalia,
about one hundred English miles. Their sur
face is estimated at ten thousand square miles?
less than two-thirds of the State of Maryland;
yet the population of this country is computed
at about four millions, of course exclusive of
her colonies.
The country is low and marshy, some parts
of it being lower than tho aea, from the inun
dations of which it is secured by dikes or dams;
and the meadows, which are covered with water
in the winter, are freed from it by means of en
gines constructed to discharge it into the ditches
and canals.
Among the marshes that deform the general
lace of the country the traveller observes nu
merous and important cities aud towns with
admiration, aud which excite vivid ideas of the
astonishing power of active industry, which has
formed a habitable aud enviable abode amidst the
greatest natural disadvantages. The marshes,
morasses, and heaths which are characteristic
of the different provinces arc intermixed with
groves, gardens, and meadows.
Holland furnishes little scope for what is usu:
ally termed agriculture, the land being mostly
appropriated to pasturage. In the north of Hol
land, and in Friesland, bo excellent are ihe pas
tures that good butter forms a prominent staple
, arliclo of commerce.
Tho chief rivers of Holland are the Rbint)
' and the Meuse. Tho lakes are few afld of small
extent, if wo except that called the sea of Haer
letu, on the north of which is the Ye, a broad
tjhcot of water resembling on arm of tho sea.
This country has neither elevated woodlands
nor mines. Fish abound on its shores ; but its
herrings ore chiefly obtained in the Northern
Ocean. The herring trado, once au almost ex
clusive possession of Holland, was one of the
lirst and greatest sources of its wealth. The
climate is cold and humid, and the dress of (he
inhabitants is more adapted to warmth than
elcgance. The houses and streets, in both the
towns and villages, are remarkable for their
cleanliness and neatness.
The temperament of the Dutch is phlegmatic.
Labor and perseverance are among the striking
characteristics. It has been asserted of them
that they love money more than any other
European people ; but the assertion is not true.
They are, and have for ages been, more eco
nomical than any others, except, perhaps, the
Swiss; but the occasions have been numerous
and conspicuous in which they have shown, iu
a patriotic aud religious cause, an entire disre
gard of money; and, paradoxical as the idea
may appear, this has been one of the many
causes of their great wealth.
The canals of Holland, not less numerous
than the roads in other countries, have been
the channels of commercial and social inter
course, serving to augment the inland trade
under the decline of their foreign commerce.
The Dutch language is a dialect of the Ger
man, and proves that they are chiefly of Teu
tonic origin. The literature of Holland has
maintained an honorable rank. Among those
who have contributed to its literary reputation,
we may mention Erasmus, Johannes Secundus,
(or Hans de Swede,) Grotius, ISoerhaave, Paul
Merula, Adrian Junius, Meursius, Doresa,
Heinsius, the younger Vossius, and Iloogevien
of Leyden, who died in 17'.>4, after acquiring
the reputation of being the first Greek scholar
in Europe. Holland has five Universities, and
many other schools of high repute.
At Lowell, music is universally studied, and
everybody learns to sing. So should it be
everywhere. Sing with the voice, the heart,
and the understanding also.

It is known that in the last anil moat earncBt
requests of this gallant and unfortunate man,
he evinced the utmost concern lest his papers
should betray the names of men who were as
sociated with him in his enterprise, and this is
fully confirmed by the letter of his brother-in
law, Count do l'ozas Dulces, which says:
*' In hia la?t nnomenta, when he uas alone with
his confcsaor, <utd marching to the place of execu
tion, he returned again to thin subject, entreating
the good priest to remind me of hia wishes upon
this point.'1
This letter appears in the Savannah News,
preceded by the following, as caustic and severe
as it is just and well-aimed :
Savannah, October 19, 1851.
To the Editor of the Morning News:
Dear Sir: The editor of the New York
Courier and Enquirer is entitled to the honor of
having invented and circulated the vilest of the
raauy calumnies with which a certain portion
of the press of this country, less generous and
less decorous even than the low rabble of Ha
vana, has sought to tarnish the memory of
Geueral Lopez. Tacitus informs us that Tibe
rius ordered the virgin daughters of Sejanus to
be violated before he sent them to the scaffold.
La Concha, and James Watson Webb and his
followers, have only reversed the order of pro
cedure pursued by that eminently bad man;
according to their programme, the execution
comes first, the desecration next. The former
permitted u Catalan mob to mutilate the re
mains of the gallant Crittenden and his meu;
the latter have assumed the congenial task of
besmearing with the slime and venom of their
dastardly malice the good name of the fallen
Patriot of Cuba.
The editor of the Courier and Enquirer, early
after the execution of Gen. Lopei, assures its
readers that the General had offered, if his life
was spared, to make certain disclosures of gt*at
importance to the Spanish Government. These
disclosures, the editor said, would involve many
persons residing upon the Islaud, who had been
associated with the general in his revolutionary
enterprise. The following letter, which 1 found
here on my return from Florida, not only re
futes the base charge, but shows that the noble
old man's last thoughts and most anxious care
were for the safety of those who, like himself,
pauted for the liberty of their country. You
may, if you think proper, translate and publish
this letter. Yours, respectfully, L. J.Siglh.
Nolile anil Kloqiirnt Letter.
Kossuth, having been denied a passage through
France to England, addressed the following let
ter to the people of Marseilles, who welcomed
him to that city with unbounded enthusiasm:
TO TIIK DEMOCRACY OK FRANCE.
Citizens: The government of the Frcnch re
public haviug refused me permission to pass
through France, the people of Marseilles, obey
ing the impulse of one of those generous in
stincts of the French heart which are a eource
of the grandeur of your nation, have honored
me by a manifestation of its republican senti
ments?a manifestation, honorable from its mo
tives, peaceful in its ardor, and majcstic in its
calmness, like nature, that great image of God,
before a storm.
1 have heard my name mingled with the song
of the *' Marseillaise," aud with the cry of
?'Vive la Kepublique!" the only legal cry in
France, the only one the legitimacy of which
has been purchased by so much of the blood of
the martyrs of liberty.
It is so uatural to love liberty, it is such a
trifling thing to suffer fcr it! It is almost less
than a simple duty. Ilut there is a glory in the
idea of being identified with the principle of
liberty iii the opinion of the French people.
1 have not coveted that glory, but 1 accept in
order to merit it. I accept it as a pledge of ,
sympathy; 1 accept it as,A. proof of the frater
nity of the French people ?>r all nations; 1 ac
cept it as the word of salvation for my dear
country.
To you, Frenchmen, republicans, be the honor
of that salvation! To us, poor Hungary, be
the duty to deserve it. We will deserve it.
I My nation will comprehend the appeal of
your fraternity; it will be proud of it, and will
respond to it bravely, as ought to be done
by a people considering it an honor to be called
brothers by the French people. That is the
only acknowledgment which is-worthy of the
people of Marseilles, and worthy of the mani
festation with which it has been pleased to
honor?not me, but my nation, and the past
less than the future.
Allow me not to dwell longer on the refusal
of the government of the Frcnch republic to
accord me a passage through its territory. I
know well the French people are not responsi
ble for its acts. I know that the executive
power is delegated, hut that the honor of the
Frcnch nation is not!
I will not think more of that refusal, and I
wish that humanity may not hear it in mind, if
by chance they who have been exiled already,
and who have forgotten it, as it appears, should
again be placcd in a similar position.
Last evening, one of your brethren, a Mar
soilles workman?I know his name, and will not
forget it?in spite of the cold, swam to the
American frigate to press my hand. 1 took the
hand with pity, with emotion, and reproached
him with his rashness. "What cou'd 1 do?
said he: "1 was determined to touch your hand;
not finding a boat, I threw my?elf into the water,
and here 1 ain. Are these obstacles for a man
who is determined to carry out his will ?"' 1
bowed down before thefcc noble words.
The love of liberty, the seutiment of duty
and fraternity, I possessed before I came to
Marseilles; but tbere 1 have fouad the device,
" There is no obstacle for bim who is determined
to curry out his will." lhat device shall be
mine. Louis Kossuiu.

Marseilles, on the 2'Jth September, 1H51.
Another Union Speech by Nr. Webatcr.
On Friday night a numerous delegation of
young Whigs atteuded a muss meeting in 8nlem,
and on their return, at a late hour, proceeded
with a baud of music to the Kcvero House,
where they gave numerous and hearty cheers
for Mr. Webster. Mr. W. appeared in the bal
cony in answer to the cheers, and made a brief
speech to his friends.
lie alluded to the laws of the natural world
as example for elementary and fixed principles
of action in the political world. A crisis would
sometimes oscur, when men would be called
back to consider the original principles of the
government under which they live. We live in
such a time, when it seems as if there was an
earnest desire to dissolve tho constitution and
legal restraints under' which we dwell as a peo
ple. But I think the crisis hat passed over. I
think the country is recovering itself North and
South. There is lese feeling at the South in
favor of breaking up the Union. They have
found an admirably convenient omnibus in co
operation, in which to ride out of their difficulty.
How those at the North who are arrayed
against the peace and harmony of the country,
when they find themselves in a minority???
they ceituinly will?how they will extricate
themselves from their position, and in what
kind of a conveyance they wid escape, remains
to be seen. He wished them well. He wished
that they might turn from their insane projects,
and with lull hearts acknowledge the blepsinga
they enjoy in a country which honors tiiem and
which they are bound to honor.
Now, he asked, what is in the future for us?
Are these States to be severed, and scattered in.
shreds mid patches? Is there to be a Northern
confederacy, a Southern confederacy, and a Mid
dle confederacy? If so, what is to become of
the" "A' pluribus unum" which hangs over our
heads? . [A voice in the crowd: "Preserved."]
Mr. Webster: "Aud I wish to live no longer
than it shall be preserved." [Tremendous cheer
ing]
Now, fellow-citizens, (continued Mr. W.) in
the course of events, there are certain questions
which lose their prominence, aud give place to
others ol' paramount importance. The great
question now is, in the North and the South?
or, he would say, with us of the North and ub
of the South?the great question is, so to act,
and confer, and defer, as to hold the Union to
gether; and to secure this, 1 invoke the spirit
of Washington, and the remembrance of bis
virtues. I invoke the spirits of the fathers of
New England?of the men of Salem, aud of
Essex, and of Boston?to inspire you and me
with new and fresh resolution to defend the
Government which they established to the last
extremity, aud to perish with it, if that must
perish.
Mr. Webster then alluded to the assemblage
before him as being composed of young men,
many of whom he knew, and others whose
fathers he bud known, and reminded them that
on their shoulders would devolve the duty of
sustaining the institutions of the country ; and
he urged them to discharge that duty with
hearts tilled with patriotism. lie counseled
his young friends, iu proceeding to the political
duties thut were immediately before them, to
bear in mind thut they were not only citizens
of Boston, of Massachusetts, and of New Eng
land, but American citizens, one and a.l; to
realize that their reputation and honor wero
linked with that of their whole country ; and
to remember that nothing could disgrace timt
country that would not disgracc them.
But, suid he, I fear 110 such result. Go on;
" 1*? nil flit ends thou *imr?t at
Ik- thy Country's, UoiiV. *u<l Truth'*."
And may God bless your efforts. Gentlemen,
good night.
