cited, as it should seem to be deser-
we'd, that the assistance of some Of
1.-The ablest pens in the country had
been secured in behalf Of the work,
and that, as it was thereafter to de.
pend rather upon its merits, than up
ON frequent announcements of the
future excellence to which it was to, at
tain, it was submitted 10 its readers
with the confident hope thatit would
prove deserving of the public favor.
This hope has not been disappointed.
Up to the present moment, the Jour-
nails of the different States in the Uni
on, Ito the number Of more than six
hundred, J and that silent but convin.
cling sign, steady increase of patron
age, have borne testimony, that the
labors of the many eminent writer's
presented to the public thro' the medi
um Of This periodical have not been
undervalued. While, therefore, the
publishers acknowledge with graft
tude the kindness with which their
exertions have been received, they
would take this occasion TO repeat,
that their elf0Fts will be untiriOg, and
that in a ratio with the enhancement,
ef t,.eir ability, through the libersity
of the public, will be their endeavorS
