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

country in which should be combined the productions OF
our great statesmen literary and scientific subjects and
those Of the eminent literary geniuses OF which the United
States boast ample share the various subjects

the publication of work calculated 10 inuse and crcu-
late true and honest political information and to counter
act the direfu influence exerted by monthly periodical

pices and bearing the of the sefsyed Democracy
Of the present day. advocating which, if success
full destined to mouder 10 ruins the iabrlck OF our no.
Bile Constitution, by placing constructions on it to suit
the caprice and advance the reachngs OF corrupt am
bon.
The union of such principles with general literature
as have nsulted the and honesty OF the
country, by ProcIaimIng the "Martyrdom OF Ciiey,'
rendered in detestable from the nsidions
way in which they combined, tends directly to the
dsorganization Of all that Americans, should be held
most sacred. This combination is calculated to secure
them circulation in quarters to which they might not
otherwise penetrate well from certain deceptive
air OF hghtoned philanthropy and expansive lberay of
views with which they artiuy able to invest them
selves for the purpose of stealing their way into the
heads through the unsuspectn. hearts of that class
which depends the destiny ard hopes of the naon-its
young men. Whilst the moi experienced sagaclty OF
older ads can hesitate moment in recognising
the real naked deormy of these ples of modern
Radcasm under all the fair seeming DISCUSSES they may
assume yet to the young they are repete with subtle
danger OF the most peInicious character.

republican, unconstitutional, and foul stain upon the
free institutions Of the country that only be eradcai
ted by the triumph of the principles which govern the
Republican Wing party ofthe present day
The advocates Of the principles alluded to- who have
stood foremost in defence of the Constitution and Law
when they dminutive party could be- exert

Xerxes aud have nearly succeeded in rescuing the Gov
ernent from the grasp of corruption will deem their
imperative duty continue their efforts, and it cannot
better be done than by supporting periodical of high
standing for sound political principles and literary worth;
and such one will be found in the National Magazine

measure, the great body of the opponents Of the
