TATO yolum of the NEw-YoEK Mirror was even
I\ begun under such favourable auspices as the
present For the last few months oursubseription-
list has increased with rapidty altogether unex
ampled in the history of this periodical. Our
friends are more numerous, our resources more
ample. and our exertions to render the Mirror one
of the most interesting and valuable repositories
ofliterature and the fine arts shall be as unGgg-
ing as ever.
Our old correspondents Will continue to furnish
original papers on great variety of subjects in
reresting to the general reader; and new writers
have been engaged for special purposes. At
home we have list of nearly two hundred con-
tributors. embracing most OF the talent and genius
Of America, and we have established permanent
correspondence abroad Mr.. Cox will write from
London-Mr. cay from Berlul-and an Americn
gentleman, who holds high rank IN the estima-
ton of his counrymen as graceful and easy wri-
ter, will furnish with occasional sketches from
Paris.
In the course of the volame, fifty pieces of popu-
lar MUSIC will be publshed-selected by Messrs.
BERKELEY, HoRN, RUSSELL, KNIGHT, etc.
IxsUPERB ENGNAv1EGs, (including the two issued
with the present nnmber,) will be given, engraved
by DANEoRTH, PARKEs, ETC., from original designs
and portraits by WEIR, lNMAN, CHAPMAN, etc.
A number of CURIOUS ETcHINGs on WOOD will al
so pc published in the present volume, engraved
by ADAMS, ANDERSEN, JOHNSTON, etc., from original
designs.
While we shall never'forget that the New Y ork
Mirror is purely an American work, we shall not,
on that account, exclude interesting extracts from
English ionrnals of merit-and shall also continue
our TRANSACTIONS from the French, German and
other European languages.
Nothing shall be left undone to renderthis work,
in its literary character, its engravings its music
and its aypegraphp, if not superior to amp period
ical of the day.
A number ofliterary novelties, curious hstori-
cal legends, Aeriean "reminiscences, and Indian
traditions, are rlready in preparation. Indeed,
every subieer withinthe range ofliterature or the
fine orts is embraced in its plan; and it has re-
ceived the commentator of the press throughout
the United States and Great Critan, as a refined
and elegant repository of the bellies lettres.
In catering for the general taste, we shall never
omit to set aside due proportion of space for the
especial amusement and edi6cation of the ladies
Of America, in The sunshine of whose favour the
Mirror has SO long fourished as favorite jour-
nal.
We presume that the reader will freely admit,
that work embracing an immense variety OF
cqoioe matter, most oft expressly written for IFS
coIumes- containing auperiour engravins on steel
with copsous Selections Of ezqulsrte music, beau-
tifully printed-altogether forming and IMMENSE
VOLUME Of four hundred and sixteen imaeFia quarto
pages-s, at the trifing subscription of five doll
lars per annum, afforded at q price unsurpassed
in cheapness BY any periodical ever published in |
any country.

low men, will be advocated and inculcated
in every page of Brother Jonathan.

THE RESULT!

The Fedcralists with all their noisy Boosting,
have only succeeded in holding on to Kentucky and
Indiana, their two strongest States, and retaining
their State ascendancy in North Carolina. In this
latter State, they carried the Governor in August,
1886, by nearly FIVE THOUSAND majority, bu,
Van Buren, carried the State in November, by more
than THIRTY THOUSAND When National
Politics are in issue, North Carolina goes for the
Democracy! On the Democratic States, the Fed
erasls have made no impression at all! On the
contrary we stand better now than we did, at the
same time, in 1886, when Van Buren, was triumph
anty elected! In April and August of that year,
the Federalisis carried the Virginia Legislature,
Louisiana, Kentucky Indiana, North Carolina and
CLAIMED majority in the Alabama Legislature,
where the vote was close. Yet they were gori-
Ously beaten in November
