the public clear and powerful commentary upon
those complex questions Of policy and party which
SO frequently distract the county, and upon which
impertectlv understood as they often are by friends,
and misrepresented and distorted they never fal
to be by political opponents it isef the utmost I'M
portance that the public should be fully and rightly
informed il is hoped that the periodical in question
may be made TO exert q beneficial. rational, and
lasting influence on the public mind.
Other considera tions which cannot be TOO nlgnly
appreeiated will render the establishment and sue
cess ofthe proposed Magazine OF very great impoF-
lance.
Tn the mighty struggle of antagonist principles
which is now going on in society, the Democratic
party of the United States Stands committed to the
world as tile depository and exampler of those car
dnal doctrines OF political faith with which the
cause of the people inevery age and country Is iden-
titled. Chiefly from the want ola convenient means
of concentrating the Intellectual energies OF its discI-
pies, this party has hitherto been almost wholly I'M
represented in the republic Of letters while the views
and policy ofits opposing creeds are daily advocated
by the ables and most commanding efforts OF genius
and learning.
In the United States Magazine the attempt will
he made to remove this reproach.
! Coordinate with this main design OF the United
States Magazine, care nor cost Will be spared 10
render it, in literary point Of view, honorable to
the country and fit toCope with vigor OF rivalry with
Its European competitors, the English Ian
right OF all who speak the tongue of Milton and
Shakspear, will be the uniform object of lis con-
hIuctors present only the finest productions in the
various branches of literature that be procured;
and to diuse The benefit Of correct models of taste
and worthy execution.
In this department the eXclusiveness of party,
which is nseparable from the political department
of snch work, will have no place. Here we all
stand on a neutral ground of equality and recipro-
city, where those universal principles OF taste to
which alike subject, will alone be recognized
as the common law. Our political principles cam
not be compromised but common literature il
will be our common pride tc cherish and extend
with Iiberality of feeling unbiased by partial or
minor views.
As the United States Magazine is founded on the
broadeSt basis which the and influence of the
Democratic party in the United States present,
is intended to render it in every respect thor
oughly NATIONAL WORK; not merely designed fol-
ephemeral interest and attraction but to continue of
permanent historical value With this view, con-
siderable portion of each number will he appropria-
ted to the following Subjects in addition to the gen.
eral features referred to above.
A general summary of Political and of Domestic
nteg digested in the order ofthe States,
prising all the authentic important facts of the pre-
ceeding month";

cign.

sons
After the close ofeach session of Congress, an
ira or an enlarged number will be published con-
tanning general review and history OF its proceed
ngs, condensed abstract ofimportant official docu
mente, and the acts ofthe session.
Advantage will also be taken ofthe means concen-
t,a,ed in this establishment from all quarters of the
Union to collect and disgest such extensive statisti-
cal observations on all the most important interests
of the country cannot fail to prove of very great
value.
This portion of The work will he separately PACED
so to admit of binding by itself, and will he fur
nished with a copious index. that the United
States Magazine will also constitute COMPLETE An
NuAL REGISTER, on a scale uninterrupted before, and
Off very great importance to all classes, not only
atfording current and combined view, from month
to month, of the sub ects which it will comorise bu
also for record and reference through future pears
the value of which will inclease with the duration of
the work.
Although in its political character the United
States Magazine addresses IFS claims to support par
ticulany to the Democratic Party, it is hoped that
its other Textures refer ed to of
the desirable object ofbecoming acquainted with the
doctrines of an opponent thus advocated-will re-
commend il to liberal and candid support from all
parties, and from the large class of no party.
To promote the popular objects in view, and rely
ing upon the united support the Democratic party
well from others, the price efthe subscription is
fixed at the low rate of foe dollars per annum; while
in mechanical arrangements and in size quantity of
matter, &c. the United States Magazine will be pla-
ced on par at least with the leading monthlies o
England. The whole will form three large octave
volumes each year.
