rct of Columbia on the Isl day Of January next and de
isered monthly in all pats Of the United States, devoted
Exclusively 10 the advancement Of the great principles OF
The Wing party and the encouragement of literature and
science.
Tie experience of the past year has confirmed in the
minds of the rejecting and sagacous of the Whig
party that uacua exists in the periodical press OF the
country. in which shonId be combined he productions
great statesmen literary and scientific subjects and
those OF the eminent literary geniuses Of which the United
States boast ample share, on the various subjects
that present themselves 10 sound and vigorous intellect
II cannot be doubted lhat the present crisis demands
the publication OF work calculated 10 inse and cireu
late true and honest political iniornaon and to counter
act the dreful influence exerted by monthly periodical
OF similar nature published in this CITY, under the aus
pces and hearing the OF the self styled Democracy
Of the present day, advocating which, fsucess
;n destined 10 mouier 10 ruins the fabric OF our.no
HE Constitution by placing constructions on it to suit
the caprice and advance the reachngs OF corrupt am
bton.
The union Of such principles with general literature
as have nsnlted the and honesty OF the
country, by proc!aming the sMartyrdom Of Ciey,"
rendered in manner detesab'e from the nsdious
way in which they combined, tends directly to the
dsorgani1ation OF al! that as Anericans should be held
most sacred. This combination is calculated to
them circulation in quarters to which they might net
otherwise penerate well as from certain deceptive
air Of gh:toned philanthropy and expansive heraiity of
views, with which they ar'iuy able to invest them
selves, for the purpose Of stealing their way into the
heads through the unsspecting hearts Of that class
which depends the destiny and hopes Of the nationits
young men. Whilst the experienced sagacy Of
older heads hesitate moment in recognising
the real naked eformiy Of these principles of modern
Radcais under al! the fair seeming dissnses they may
assume yet 10 the young they are reptte with subtle
danger OF the most pei nicious character,
The National Magazine and Republican Review is de-
signed, and will be conducted with these and other high
important considerations in view, calculated TO correct
demonstrations, and 10 ncncae the correct political
principles which are based the views and practice Of

The period is fast arriving when the country will
emerge from The dominion OF party which has into

republican, ncon,tituonui, and foul stain upon the
free ns,ito ions o the county that can only be eradcai
ted by the triumph Of the principles which govern the
Republican Wing party OF the present day,
The advocates Of the principles alndcd to, who have
stood foremost in defence Of the Constitution and Laws
when they as dnllnnve as party could be, exer
ing the strength of Le.nidas battling with the host to

imperative duty to continue their efforts, and il cannot
better be done than hy supporting periodical Of hlEh
