~ TLt MANS MAGAZINE.-0n the LIST o
" January lS44, will be published, the hrst mum

, ITLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, edited by JOHN ~
KAN, and filled with contributions from the mos
eminent and accomplished writer. OF the country
The motives which have led to the commence
ment of this unde takug may be briefly stated
Ii is believed by the proprietor that there Is III
the United states an immense provision OF hter'
ary ability for which as yet thu re IS no adequate
encoura cement or field of display; That besides
the numbers OF clever and successful "r'ei
; whose productions are weekly, and monthly, ana
annually read with delight BY thousands: there
are vet greater numbers constantly arriving at
maturity OF power who have only to appear Oh
the srage of ublicatiun to receive Dri iiiah'
ava I'd of fame, and that the powers OF those
whose names are already pronounced with res
pect by lbs of wIsest censure are capable OF
| more and still higher euertions than has yet
been called forth 1t is believed, too, that the
demand for literary production IN this country
especially in the p ridicai canuel, exceeds the
supply in a very large proportion, and that new
supplies nave only to be presented OF the right
quality and in the way to ensure hearty well
come and profitable reception. No doubt Is
entertained Of the American minds ability to
sustain itself, certainly on its own ground If no
abroad, against all the competition that tint
intellect OF other lands can bring to the encoune
tet and full assurance is felt that among the
mi 'liuns of American headers there can be and
s cordial welcome for all that A me lean WI
lers can produce of excellent and interesting
From these presses it IL undoubuugly inferred
that there IS abunaant room for another Maya
zine, Notwithstanding the merit and success OF
those already in ben- that there can be no
lack OF ability to fill its pages acceptabIy within
the reach OF capital and liberal enterprise; and
that such periodical will not fail to be greeted
as welcome visiter by thousands upon thou
sands who as yet have done little or nothing
oward tae support and developement of Amer
can periodical literature.
Another and strong motive has been the fe Q
ing that Few York, the first city OF the Union,
should be the home Of a periodical owning no
superior in neither merit nor success.-- The Co.
lumbar Magazine will be published on the frs
day of every mouth. Its mechanical arrange.
ments will comprise the best paper, type and
workmanship that money can procure.
Its contributors will be sought Tor among the
ablest and most popular writers in the country,
and no efforts will be spared to secure the aid of
those most distinguished, such as
