PROSPECTUS
OF THE
UNITED STATES MAGAZINE.
AND
DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.


States, that periodical for the advocacy and III
fusion OF their polite / principles, similar 10 those
such active and influential operation in England
would be desidiYatum Of great Importance to sup
iply-a periodical which should unite with the at
fractions of sound and vigorous literature, poit
cal character rapabe of giving efficient support L
he doctrines an measures oi that rarty, now main
aimed BY large majority Of the people Discussin!
he great questions OF policy before the country, ex
pounding and advocating the Democratic roctnnt
through the most able pens hat tha; party can fur
nisn, in articles of greater length, condensec
force, more elaborate research, and more elevated
tone, than possible for The newspaper press. A
Magazine this character becomes an instrument oil
inappreciable value tor the enlightenment and FORM
alton Of public opinion, and Tor the support Of the
primo piles which il advocates BY these means, by
thus explaining and defending the measures OF, the
Sreat democratic party, and by always furnishing 10
the public clear aud powerful commentary npon
those complex questions of policy and party which
so frequently distract the county, and upon which
mperfectly uBd rstoOd they often by friends,
and msrepr sened AMI distorted as they never fail
to be by political opponents, it is Of the utmost i'm.
portance that the public should be fully and rightly
informed. it is hoped that the periodical in question
may be made exert a beneficial rational, and
lasting inf 'ence on the public mind.
Other considerations which cannot be too highly
appreciated, will render the establishment and sue
cess the proposed Magazine of very great impor-
tanCe.
In the mighty struggle of antagonist principles
which is now going on in society, the Democratic
party of thu United States Stands committed to the
world as the depository and exampler of those
dna doctrines OF political faith with which the
caus' Of the people in every age and country is iden-
titied. Chiefly rom the want of convenient means
Of concentrating the Intellectual energies Of its disci
pies, ihs party has hitherto been almost wholly
represented in the republic oflettcrs while the views
and policy ofits opposing creeds daily advocated
by the ablesi and most commanding efforts Of genius
and learning.
IL TIE United States Magazine the attempt will
he made to remove this rcproach.
Coordinate with this main design of the United
States Magazine, nor cost will be spared 10
render it, in literary point of view, honorable to
the county, fit cope with vigor of rivalry with
its European competitors Viewing the English lam
gnage MS the noblest heritage and common birth
light Of all who speak the tongue of Milton and
Shakspear, it will be the uniform object of It's con
ductors to present only the finest productions in tie
various branches Of literature, that can be procured
and tn dffuse The benefit of correct models Of taste
and worthy execution.
In this department the exclusiveness of party,
which is insPparable from the political department
of such n work, will have no place. Here we all
stand on neutral ground of equality and recipro-
city, where those universal principles OF taste to
which we are alike subject, will alone be recognized
as the common law. Or political principles can
not be compromised, but our common literature II
will he our common pride tc cherish aud extend
with Iiberalty OF feeling unbiased by partial or
minor Jews.
AZ the United States Magazine is founded on the
broadest basis which the means and influence IF the
Democratic party in the United States can present,
il is intended to render it in every respect thor
oughlv NATIONAL work; not merely signed toI
ephemera Interest and attraction but to continue OF
permanent historical value. 18th this view. con-
siderable portion OF each number will be approprla-
ted to the following Subjects in addition to the gen
