is hoped that The periodical IN question may be

Other considerations, which cannot be toe

very great Importance.
In the mighty struggle Of Antagonist primer |

mitted to the world % thu depository and e1em-
plar OF those ctrdira doctrines of political faith
With which the cause Of the People in every age
and country is identified Chiefly from the want
OF convenient mems Of concentrating the IN
telleclaal energies of its Disciples this party has
hitherto boen almost wholly unrepresentcdin the
republic ofletters, willie the views and policy
of its opposing cFeeds are daily advocated, by
the ablest and most commanding efforts OF gent
us and learning. -
In the United States Magazine the attempt
will be made to remove this reproaeh.
Coordinate with this main design Of the Uni
ted States Magazine, no care nor cost will be
spared to render it, in literary point OF view,
honorable to the country, and fit to cope in Wig
or ana rivalry with Its European competitions
Viewing the English languageas the noble heri-
tagc and common birthrght Of all who speak
the todgue Of Milton and Shakespeare, it will be
the uniform object of its conductors to present
snly the finest productions in the various bran
chcs Of literature, that can be procured; and to
fitiuse the benefit Of correct models oftaste and
worthy execution.
