UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, or LIFE AMONG THE LOWLY, By Harriet Beecher Stowe. 2 vols. Boston, John P. Jewett and Co.

  This work has not yet reached us, from the publishers: but when we hear that the first edition of five thousand copies (issued on the 20th of March) was sold in four days, we are not surprised at the delay.

  This thrilling Story, from the accomplished pen of Mrs. Stowe, has appeared week after week, by installments, in the National Era, and has been perused with intense interest by thousands of people. The friends of freedom owe the Authoress a large debt of gratitude for this essential service, rendered by her to the cause they love.

  We are well sure that the touching portraiture she has given of "poor Uncle Tom" will, of itself, enlist the kindly sympathies, of numbers, in behalf of the oppressed African race, and will raise up a host of enemies against the fearful system of slavery.

  Mrs. Stowe has, in this work, won for herself a place among American writers—She has evinced great keenness of insight into the workings of slavery, and a depth of knowledge of all its various parts, such as few writers have equalled, and none, we are sure, have exceeded. She has wonderful powers of description, and invests her characters with a reality perfectly life-like. Fine as she is in description, she is not less so in argumentation. We doubt if abler arguments have ever been presented, in favor of the "Higher Law" theory, than may be found here. Mrs. Stowe's truly great work, is destined to occupy a niche in every American Library, north of "Mason and Dixon's Line."
