COMMENDATIONS.

We are indebted to our brethern of the Press, and many friends, for the most flattering commendations of our compilation of the "Logic of History," &c., and we make room for the following, as samples of the general whole:

From Gov. Seymour, of New York.]

STATE OF NEW YORK, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Albany, January 18th, 1864.

SIR: I have read with great interest that part of your book entitled, "Five Hundred Political Texts," which you sent me. I do not hesitate to say that it is a work which every friend of Constitutional Liberty should have in his possession. No one who cares for public events can be without it. It is not only of great importance at this time in its bearings upon the questions of the day, but it is also a valuable contribution to the history of evils which now afflict our country. I hope that it will be widely circulated, and that all classes of conservative men will aid in its sale. Truly yours, &c., HORATIO SEYMOUR. To S. D. Carpenter, Esq., Madison, Wisconsin.

SENATE AND ASSEMBLY CHAMBERS, CAPITOL OF WISCONSIN, Feb. 13, 1863.

S. D. CARPENTER:

} The undersigned Democratic members of the Legislature of Wisconsin for the year 1864, having read your book so for as completed, entitled "Concentrated Extracts of Abolitionism" or "Logic of History," beg leave to assure you that your efforts in producing a book so much needed in a crisis like this, is duly appreciated by us. This book ought to be in the hands of every conservative man, for nothing can be so well calculated to open the eyes of the people to the long cherished aims and purposes of the radicals. Your book settles the question of "loyalty," and we trust you may succeed in placing it in the hands of

all conservative men.

Sir: The facts contained in your "Logic of History," ought to be read and pondered by every American citizen. Fanaticism and extreme views both North and South, together with public corruption, are the fruitful sources of our national troubles.

The sooner we learn the true causes and correct them, the sooner we shall have national unity, and its consequent blessings. If the people desire peace and unity, they must cease to do those things which inevitably produces strife and disunion. The logic of all history proves

"LOGIC OF HISTORY" OR "SCRAPS FROM MY SCRAP BOOK." -This is the the title of a work about to be published by S. D. Carpenter, Esq., editor of the Wisconsin Patriot. This work will be an invaluable book of reference, of some 360 pages, neatly printed and bound, containing five hundred political texts. In this work the author goes back to slavery in ancient times, and lays bare the effects of slavery agitation and abolitionism to the present time; the desire of leading abolitionists to excite a war of the sections, and their encouragement of secession by acts and words, are all placed before the reader, properly indexed for convenience of speakers and others.

A copy of this work should be in the hands of every man.

[From the Milwaukee News.]

"THE LOGIC OF HISTORY."-Mr. Carpenter, of the Madison Patriot, has compiled in an attractive shape a series of political facts, bearing upon the principal public questions of the day. He proposes to publish them in a book of 350 pages, conveniently arranged in chapters and designed for reference in the approaching presidential campaign. It will be conveniently indexed for the use of editors, speakers and others, and be sold at the low price of $1 50 per copy.

A publication of this character cannot fail to exert a salutary influence and prove a valuable record for refer

ence.

[From the Chicago Times.]

S. D. Carpenter, the editor of the Madison (Wisconsin) Patriot, is preparing for publication in book form a work called "Logic of History, or Scraps from my Scrap Book." The work includes political affairs from the beginning of the slavery agitation to the present time, and consists: mainly of the utterances of prominent men and newspapers in the abolitio-republican party, showing that it inaugurated and nurtured the treason which finally ruptured the Union. The work will be a vade mecum for democratic editors, speakers, and all classes of conservative people.

THE LOGIC OF HISTORY.-Being Concentrated Extracts from my Scrap Book, containing Five Hundred Political Texts. By S. D. Carpenter, Editor of the Wioconsin Patriot.

The foregoing sufficiently indicates the character of the work, and make it evident that it is just the best thing published for the purpose of carrying the campaign right into the camp of the enemy. It ought to be in the hands of every man who can talk, and if you are attacked by the abolition demagogues with their usual weapons, "secessionist," "traitor," "copperhead," just give them a shot from "The Logic of History," and our word for it they will skedaddle, or if they don't there won't be enough left of them politically to make a grease spot. The work will be properly indexed for the convenience of editors, speakers and others.

SOMETHING WHICH EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD HAVE.-S. D. Carpenter, of the Madison Patriot, has in process of publication a most valuable work, "Logic of History, or Scraps from my Scrap Book," which should be in the hands of every democrat. At this time it is of immense value, as it contains a complete expose of the efforts of the abolitionists to destroy the Union, going back over a period of more than forty years. We cannot recommend it too highly. It is particularly valuable at this time, when we must defend the position we occupy by facts, not idle declamation.

[From the Manitowoc Filot.]

"THE LOGIC OF HISTORY."--Mr. Carpenter, of the Madison Patriot, has been publishing in his paper for several months past, extracts from republican papers, and speeches from republican orators for years, clearly showing that they are responsible for the commencement of the existing rebellion, and its continuance to the present time. He is now preparing to print them in book form under the above title, and the work will be published some time this month. A copy of it should be in the hands of every man who loves the Union.

[From the Monroe County Democrat.] The title of the work is "Scraps from my Scrap Book," and from a look at the table of contents, it appears to us a work of extraordinary merit for purposes of referencs, and one which should be in the hands of every editor, politician and public speaker in the country. It gives a succinct documentary history of political abolition, secession, nullification, etc. It will contain some 350 pages closely printed, with a complete index, so that any extracts may be readily referred to.

LOGIC OF HISTORY.-S. D. Carpenter, of the Madison Patriot, is compiling a work for the use of politicians, under the above title, which will contain some 350 pages, composed of the sayings of leading politicians and newspapers, and is particularly intended for the use of speakers and editors in the campaign next summer. For that purpose it will be just the thing, being divided into chapters and properly indexed. Some fifteen chapters have already been published in the Patriot, and from an examination of them, we would advise every democrat to procure this volume. Then if he is attacked by an abolitionist with the usual cry of "secessionist," "traitor," "rebel sympathizer," &c., he can straightway give a "solid shot" from "The Logic of History," which will cause any abolitionist to "retreat in disorder." It is the first work of the kind ever published in this state, and should be largely circulated by the democrats of Wisconsin.
