The experience Of the past year has confirmed in the
minds Of the rejecting and sagacious OF the wing

II cannot be doubted that the present crisis demands
the publication Of work calculated to nusr and circu-
late and honest political information and to counter
act the direul influence exeted by monthly periodical
OF similar nature published in this city, under the
pces and bearing the name Of the sefsyled Democracy

The union of such principles with general literature
as have insnted the sense and honesty OF the
country, by prociaimng the "Martyrdom OF Ci!ey'
rendered.i manner more detestabe from the nsdious
way in which they combined, tends directly TO the
diserganzaon OF all that as Americans should be held
most sacred. This combination is calculated TO- secnr.

older heads can never hesitate moment in recognising
the real naked deformiiy Of these principles OF modern
Radcasm, under all the fair seeming dsguises they may
assume. yet the young they replete with subtle

The National Magazine and Republican Review is d

principle, on which based the views and practice of
the great Republican Whig party, well for the
couragement and maintenance Of genuine polite literature

is destined to espouse National work.
The period is fast arriving when the country will
emerge from the dominion Of party which has into

prejudice and which has advocated and sailed under the
broad and corrupt motto Of ofcese-kers, ito the uacors
belong the spoils of the rangtished being alike anti
republican, Unconstitutional and foul stain upon the
free institutions Of the country that only be eradca
ted BY the triumph Of the principles which govern the
Republican Wing party Of the present day.
The advocates Of the principles alluded to- who have
stood foremost in defence Of the Constitution and Laws

ing the strength of Leonidas battling with the host Of
Xerxes, and have nearly succeeded in escnng the Gov

imperative duty to continue their efforts, and it cannot
better be done than by supporting periodical of high
standing for sound political principles and literary wortb
