The experience Of the past year has confirmed
In the minds Of tliomore rejecting and sagacious
OF the Why party, thata vacuum exists III the pc
\ rodlcnl press ct the country, in which should be
combined the productions OF oar great Statesmen
OH literary and scientific subjects, and those OF the
Eminent literary geiiuscs Of WHICH the United
States can boast ample share, on the various
subjects that present themselves to sound and
| vigorous intellect.
1t cannot be doubted that the present crisis de-
mands the publication Of work calculated to in
fuse and circulate true and honest political intor-
nation, and to counteract The dirrfui influence
| crted by monthly periodical OF a similar nahre
published in this city, under the auspices, and bear
ing the name uf the sclf-styl3d democracy OF the
present day. advocating the which, II sue
cessful, destined to noulder 70 ruins, the fab
rio Of our hoble Constitution, by placing construc-
tons on tito suit the caprice and advance the rea-
chngs of corrupt ambition.
| The union OF such principles with general lit
eratlme as have insulted the common sense and
honesty Of the ountiy, by prorlailning the "Mar-
| tyrdom Of ljey,n rendered liz d manner more
detestable from the insidious way in which they
are combined, tends directly 10 ,be disorganiza-
ton Of all that, as Americans, should he held
most sacred. This combination is calculated 10
secure them circulation in quarters to which they
might not otherwise penetrate, as well as hon
certain air Of high-toned philanthropy and expan-
sive liberality OF views, with which they are arts
fully able TO invest themselves, for the purpose Of
stealing their way into the heads through The un-
suspecting hearts OF that class on which depends
| the destiny and hopes of ihe natio--its young
| men. Whist the mafe experienced sagaciiy of
older heads can never hesitate a moment Ia recog-
nzing the real naked defoymity OF these ineipIes
Of modern Radicalism, under all the fair seeming
DISCUSSES they may assume, yet to the young they
| are replete with subtle danger of the most ber-
nicious character.
The National Magazine and Republican Re-
view, is indeed, and will be conducted With these
and other equally important considerations i'll view
calculated to correct msconsrructons, and 10 ncul-
cate the correct political principles onNdiich are
based tho views and practice OF the great Bepab-
can Wing party, as well as Tor the encourage
ment and maintenance Of genuine polite literature.
