The Southern Literary Messenger.

We cannot content ourselves with coldy publishing
the following address from Mr. Minor. We are truly
happy to find him at the head Of the "Messenger"
We rejoice that it is about to take new wing, and
plume itself for loflier aspirations. May it live a
thousand wears He has difficult Office on his
hands, 10 "keep up the Periodical with the same
success and with the same brilliant reputation, which
it had attained under the auspices of Mr.. White. But
he must bring to the task the energy, the same
enthusiasm which uniformly animated the efforts of
that remarkable and amiable man. With these quail
ties, he must succeed-without them, the Messenger
must fail In fact, without enthusiasm, great work,
literary enterprize can succeed in this enterprsing
country Let Mr.. Minor fearessly throw himself upon
the patronage Of the South-deveope his talents
cal out the .ssumbering genius of the Soulh-wave
the wand of Prospero over The land-and a glorious
DESTINY NAV await him. He will find the newspaper
press anxious to rush to his support and stand by his
side. He will find the Essayls,s willing to come to
the rescue He may count upon the lberality of the
people-but he must stretch every wing-and win his
way by ncessant labor, 10 honorable distinction. No
man will be happy than ourselves TO witness his
triumphs-none within our limited sphere, will be
willing 10 serve him.
