This Publication will consist exclusively of original matter, or of news embodied in original comments ; and it will thus be distinguished from all existing periodicals in several important respects. It will differ from the weekly newspapers in the ex clusion of merely borrowed news, and from the purely literary journals in the admission of political discussion. It is intended that it shall address itself to the principal topics in the political, social, and literary world, which will be impartially handled by competent writers with that liberality and independence which educated and reflecting minds demand from those who assume to guide and represent public opinion.
