eER.-We welcome no publication with
more real satisfaction than this able peri.
odical. It always contains highly useful,
and interesting matter. 1t is zealously de-
voted to the advancement Of American Ii.
erature, and its leading articles upon ques:
tons Of public policy breathe argentine
spirit of patriotism, and are such as should
recommend it to those who desire to elevate
the standard Of American periodical litera-
ture. From the people of the South pa r.
ticularly it should receive encouragement.
as it is Southern Journal, zealously devo.
ted their interest.
The leading article ia the August mum.

the northern and the southern portion ofour
coniederacy. A few years since the Leg.
islature Of Massachusetts, seeking to aim a
death-blow at the institution Of slavery, pro.
posed to Congress the adjustment Of the
slave representation. This subject was
amply discussed by the wise trainers of our
constitution, and the present mode of rep.
resentation was adopted by them, in that
self sacrificing spirit Of patriotism and com.
promise which marked every action ofthose
nerved patriots of the revolutionary times.
And none canreadthe sentiments that drop
ed from the lips Of those venerated sages,
who represented in the Convention that
formed our constitution, the former chival-
rous and patriotic State of Massachusetts,
without being forcibly reminded Of the de.
generacy Of their posterity.
From year u year have the people of
that State disturbed the friendly feelings
that should exist between them and their
political brethren of the South, by vainly
seeking to wreat from them those rights
which are theirs. BY the consent not only Of
their ancestors, but according to the laws
and will of high Heaven. In vain have
the people Of the South invoked them to
cease theiruaiust murmurs and permit them

them in the most bitter and calumniatory
manner.
At the headof those bigoted Rntics stands
John Quincy Adams, the unworthy son of
one Of the noblest patriots that breasted the
storm Of British oppression in the hallowed
days Of 10 casting reprOach upon his pa.

temple ofjustice reared by the wisest states.
men the world ever produced, and dedica.

the glorious cause Of liberty.
Besides the above article, it contains va.
rious productions of miscellaneous char.
acter which are attractive and interesting.
