comes an instrument Of inapprecisble vaiue iof /
the enlightenment and formation OF pubic opln- /

public clear and powerful commentary upon
those complex questions Of policy and party
which SO frequently distract the country, and
upon which, imperfectly understood as they of-
ten are BY friends, and misrepresented and dis
torted as they never fail to be by political oppn
nents, i is Of the utmost importance that the
public should be fully and rightly informed, ~
3 hoped that the periodical ii question may be
made 10 exert beneficial, rational, und lasting
thepublic mind.
Other considerations. which cannot be too
iighly appreciated, will render the establish
acnt and success Of the proposed Magazine OF ,
cry great Importance.
4 In the mighty struggle Of antagonist princi'
les which is now going on in society, the Demo-
rate party Of the United States stands COM :
fitted to the world as The depository and exem.
larof those cardinal doctrines Of political faith
nth which the cause Of the People in every age
nd country is identified. Chiefly from the want
! a convenient means Of concentrating the in
sloctual energies of its disciples, this party has
itherto been almost wholly unrepresentedin the
spublic Of letters, while the views and policy I
T its opposing creeds are daily advocated, BY
ae ablest and most commanding efforts Of GEM
8 and learning.
4 In the United Statcs Magazine the attempt ia
ill be made to remove this reproash. La
Coordinate with this main design Of the Uni I
I'd States Magazine, no care nor cost will be
pared To render it, infa literary point Of views !
onorable TO the country, and fitt cope in Wig
! and rivalry with ITS European competitions s
iewing the English languageas the noble HERR
lge and common birthright Of all who speak
ls todgue Of Milton and Shakespeare, il will be
lcunform object ofits conductors to present
My the finest productions in the various bran
hes Of literature, that can be procured; andto
iffuse the benefit Of correct models Of taste and
i0rthy execution. N
In this department the cxcMsiveness Of party,
'hich is inseparable from the political depart
lent of such i work. will have NO place. Here
e all stand on a neutral ground Of equality Il
I'D reciprocity, where those universal principles
/ taste to which we are all alike subject, will
lone be recognized as the common law. Our
principles cannot be compromised, but {
ur common literature it will heour common
ride to cherish and extend. with lherality Of .
ceiling unbiased by partial or minor views.
Asthe United States Magazine IL founded on
he broadcast basis which the means and influence
( the Democratic Party in the United States
an present, it is intended to render ii in every
aspect thoroughly National Work; not merely /,
esgned for ephemeral interest and attraction,
ut to continue Of. permanent historical value
Although in its political character the United
'tates Magazine addresses its claims to support
TO the Democratic party, it il hoped
hat its other features referred to above---inde-
lendently Of the desirable object Of becoming
with the doctrines of an opponent
hus advocated--will recommend II to a liberal
md candid support from all parties, and from
he large class Of no party.
To promote the popular objects in view, and
'elying upon the united support of the Democra-
tic Party, as we'll as from others, the price fof
subscription Is fixed at the low ratio Of SIS per an.
lum; while II mechanical arrangements, and in
ire, quantity Of matter, &C., the United States
Magazine will be placed on mar at least with
Tho leading monthlies 81 England. The whole
Will form three large octave volumes each year
The subscription will be in all eases payable
n advance. Of for the FIRST year only sc on
the delivery ofthe third number The absolute
necessity Of this rule IN such an establishment
will be obvious to all
