In the mighty struggle Of antagonist principles
which is now gong on in society. the democratic
party OF the United States stands committed TO the
world Us the depository and eXampar Of those car
diual doctrines of political faith with which the
cause Of the People in every age and country is
identified. Chiefly from the want Of a convenient
means OF concentrating the intellectual energies offs
dccp!cs, this party has hitherto been almost wholly
unrepeScned in the republic 81 letters, while the
views and policy Of its opposing creeds are daily
advocated by the ablest and most commanding eff
forts Of genius and learning.
Ia the United States Magazine the attempt vii
be made to remove this reproach.
The present is the time peculiarly appropriate for
the commencement of such an undertaking. The
democratic body Of the Union, after conflict which
tested 10 the uermos its stability and its principles,
have succeeded in retaining possession of the exc
cutve administration OF the country. In the cOnSe
quent comparative repose from political strife, the
period is suspicious for organizing and calling to its
aud new and powerful aid Of this character, inter-
ieriHg with none and cooperating with ALL
Coordinate with this main design Of the United |
States Magazine no care nor cost will be spared to
render it, in literary point Of view, honorable to
the country and fit To cope in vigor Of rivalry with
its European competitors. Viewing the English |
language as the noble heritage and common birth |
right OF all who speak the tongue Of Milton and |
Shakespeare, it will be the uniform object of its con-
iuctors to present only the finest productions in the
farouS branches Of literature that can be procured
ma to dlise the benefit OF correct models OF taste
md worthy execution.
In this department the cxclusiveness of party,
which is nseparoblc from the political department.
# such work, will have no place. Here we al
tand on neutral ground ofequality and reciprocity,
where these universal principles of taste to which |
We are all alike subject will alone be recognized as
ne common law. Our political principles cannot |
e compromised but our common literature il will |
e our common pride to cherish and extend, with |
bcraIity Of feeling unbiased by partial or minor
Jews.
As the United States Magazine is founded on the |
{oadeSt basis which the means and influence Of the |
emocrac party in the United States can present, |
is intended 10 render it in every respect a tho
ougly National Work not merely designed for
phcmeraI interest and attraction, but to continue of
historical value. With this view con.
