The great popularityo of Grahams Magazine in cy-
cry part Of the Union in consequence OF the engage
ment of the very best writers contributors, and
fists Of the highest celebrity and acknowledged ab
ites to illustrate the work. has madeia sort Of polar
star TO all the other periodicals; so that everything
DOM by ~Graham isinstantly promised by the whole
tribe. The promise the public might forgive, or at
least forget IT, but the wretChed attempts made 10 im
tate the costly aud beautiful works of art which adom
this work, and the poverty Of their limitations in the
literary department have impaired the public conf
dence, and given turn to cur periodical literature,
which would ultimately bring into dsrepute and con-
tempt. We have resolved, as far Graham" is con-
cerned, to correct the error and as the magazine lite
nature Of America is now confined to Graham" and
his mitators, we are determined 10 give proper de
Tecton TO the popular tastes and propose in the COM
ing volume greatly to amphy the literary department
OF the work-to engage none but the very best writers
TO open field for young writers of merit-and, in
fine, 10 cultivate National Periodical Literature,
which shall command respect at home and abroad.
