JOHN L. SMITH, Publisher and Proprietor.

Throuphou, the civilized world the minds 81
men are, to an unusual degree, employed In
what comes home to the business and bosoms Of
all, the mode in which their Governments are
administered, the principles upon which they
act, and the measures which they pursue. InesS
are the TOPICS of newspaper discussion, and OF
debate In our various Legislative assemblies. IL
is, however, somewhat remarkable that in this
country so few efforts have been made TO sustain
any periodical publication upon this principle.
while in Europe, and particularly in Great Brit.
ain, politics form the staple of many Of thcir
most valuable works Of this description.
The peculiar position of our country rendets
the present an auspicious moment fof underta.
king peri ,dical Of this character. The county
is arrayed into two great divisions, one OF which
NAV be denominated the Administration, the 9th.
ct the Opposition party. The conduct Of the
former Is encountered by, it is believed, larger
proportion Of numbers, q greater portion OF
Intelligence, and a higher grade of principle
The Motives which guide the Administration
party we conceive to be narrow and erroneous
the doctrines they promulgate dangerous and
pernicious-the objects they have in view, and
The tendencies of their measures selfish and de.
struetive. It is time that they be met with vigor
and with system.
The gradual but obvious aggrandlsement ofthe
power ofthe Executive, at the expense Of the
legislative and judicial branches of the General
Government, should be exhibited to the public
mind. The plausible pretenses under which
this design is furthered should be exposed. The
systematic plans by which corruption is spread
inc itself troughout the land, the discipline
which has been introduced into the party ranks,
the undissuised and open interference of tie
officers of the Federal Government in the cleo.
tions even o: local officers, the regular levying
of contributions for the purpose Of carrying on
the party warfare, the devotional loyalty to the
heads ofa faction which is now exacted, and the
prescription ofthose who refuse 10 yield it, are
all subjects which demand and ought receive
a more full and prepared exhibition than they
have vet received. These topics will form, in
conuexi, N with general views of the foreign and
domestic policy Of the Government, principal
subject ofour attention.
Though politics will constitute the principle
portion Of this Magazine, the interests Of general
literature will not be dsregarded. Essays on
Philosophical and Moral subjects; Reviews and
Critical Notices Historical and Biographical
Skstehea. and especially essays connected with
the vital subject of Popular Education, will.be
occasionally inserted. ..t-.,.,. -.
The publisher will embrace suitable epportu.
mites of improving or extending the plan, which
NAV be presented by increased patronage.
Engravings of Distinguished Public Men will
embeliish the Magazine, as circumstances may
allow the additional expense to be incurred.
