REVIEW.
T0hn L.. Smith, PEtifshsr and Proprietor.

THRoUGHOUT the civilized world The minds
of men are, 10 an unusual degree, employed
IN what comes home TO The business and bosoms d
all. the mode in which their governments are adj
minisrered, the principles upon which they act. and
the measures which they pursue. These arc th"
topics of newspaper discussion, and 1t debate IN
our various legislative assemblies. It's. however,
somewhat remarkable that in this country 30 few
efforts have been made to sustain any periodical
publication upon thi- principle, while in Europe,
and particularly in G eat Britain, politics form the
staple Of many of their most valuable woik Ks ofthis
description.
The peculiar position Of our country renders the
present an suspicious moment Tor undertaking a
periodical of this character. The country is ar
Iaved into two great divisions, one OF which may
be denominated the administration the other the
Opposition party. The conduct of the former Is en-
coun,rred by, it is believed, a larger proportion OF
numbers. a greater portion Of intelligence, and :
higher grade of principle. The motives which
guide the Administrator party we conceive to be
narrow and erruneous-the doctrines they prornui-
gate dangerous and pernicious-the objects they
have in view, and the tendencies of their measures
selfish and destructive. 1t is time that they be
me, with vigor and with system.
The gradual but obvions aggrandlzenent of the
power of the Executive, at the expense of the le-
gislative and Judicial branches of the General Go

into the party ranks. the undisguisrd and open in

are all subjects which demand and Ought 10 receive
n more full and prepared exhibition than they have
vet received. These topics will form, in connexion
with general views of the foreign and domestic POI
Icy of The Government, a principal subject Of our
attention.
Though politics will constitute the principal por-
ton Of this Magazine, the interests Of general lite
nature will not be disregarded. Essays on Phii0-
soDkical and Moral snbj .cts; Reriews and Crih-
cal Notices; Historical and Biographical Sketch

subject of Popular Education, will be occasional

ties of improving or extending the plan, which may
be presented by increasing patronage.
Enrr0riRgs Of Distinguished Public Men will
embellish the Magazine, as circumstances may al
