THE first page of a new volume-the sixth of the present series, gives occasion for a few remarks upon the course which we feel it our duty to pursue, as conductors of the Whig Review. Our efforts will be directed toward the re-establishment of those party lines which have been in some degree obscured by sectional agitations. The grand doctrines of beneficent protection to every species of labor, and to internal as well as to external commerce, are beginning to be argued from new points of view, upon grounds more practical, and from a more home-felt necessity of reform. For nearly an entire year, discussion has been paralyzed, and political action suspended, by the slave controversy.
