District OF Columbia, on the first day of January
next and delivered mo nlhly IN all parts of the u
nIted States, devoted exclusively TO the advance
ment of the great principles of the Wing party, Il
the encouragement of literature and science
The experience Of the past year has confirmed
in the minds Of the more rejecting and sagacious
of the Wing party that vacuum exists in the Pc
riodcal pross of the country, in which should be
combined the productions Of our great statesmen
on literary and scientific subjects, and those of the
eminent literary geniuses of which the United
States can boast so ample a SHARE the various
subjects that present themselves to sound and Wig
orous intellect.
1t cannot be doubted that the present crisis de-
mands the publication Of a work calculated TO in
fuse and circulate true and honest political informa-
ton, and TO couneract the drefnl influence exert
ed by monthly periodical Of "a sim liar nature
published IN this city, under the auspices and
ing the name OF the self-styled Democracy of the
present day, advocating measures which if success
full are destined TO moulder TO ruins the fabric of
our noble Constitution, by placing constructions on
it to suit the caprice and advance the readings of
q corrupt ambition
The union of such principles with general lit
erature as have insulted the common and
honesty OF the country, by proclaiming the omar
tyrdom OF Ciley, rendered in n manner more de-
testable from The insldous way in which they are
combined, tends directly TO the disorganizatun of

ing their way INTO the heads through the unsuspec-
Ting hearts of that class on which depends the des
tiny and hopes Of the nation-its Young men,
whist the more experienced sagaciy ofolder heads
can never hesitate moment in recognizing the real
NAKED deioimity OF these principles Of modern lad

may assume, vet to the young they are ropIete
with asub,le danger Of the most pernicious charac-
ter.
The National Magazine, and Republican Re-
view is designed and will be conducted with these
and other high Important considerations in view,
calculated to correct nisco constructions, and to in
culcate the correct political principles which
based the views OF the great Republican Wing
party, as well as for the encourag gem and main

department OF the work their utmost efforts to
render the Review useful to the public in literary
point of view, and honorable 10 the country and
cause WHICH it is destined to espouse National

The period is fast arriving when the country
