Mr.. n. P. Willis proposes 10 publish Maga>

Indeed, most Of the newspapers have la,terly
assumed blush hinge, and some Of them are
painted with indigo AN inch thick. If the con>
templatcd Magazine should assume in compo>
si;ion a vigorous and manly style, without be-
ing rude and offensive, and in principle tone
bold and independent withouI impertinence
and personality, the protector may reasonably
look for firm and permanent support. But
the sckly and dying periodicals. hose en-
bems Of literary mor,ality-with which he is
surrounded, we apprehend, will leach him wis
