In the mighty struggle Of antagonist principles
which is now going on la society, the Democratic
party Of the United States Stands committed to the
lworld as the depository and exampler Of those car
IdinaI doctrines OF political laitb with which the
cause Of The people every age and country is den-
tilted. Chiefly from the want Of convenient meaus
of concentrating the intellectual energies Of its dsci-
pies, this party has hitherto been almost wholly
represented the republic Of letteFs, while the views
and policy ofits opposing creeds daily advocated
by the abIesl and most commanding efforts Of genius
and learning.
In the United States Magazine the attempt will
be made to remove this reproach.
Coordinate with this main design Of the United
States Magazine, nor cost will be spared TO
