WE have long regarded it as most humiliating
w reflection upon the south, that no professcdy
neutral family journal has yet been sustained with.
in her borders. We have tested the experiment
whether such paper could not be supported at the
Immediate South, and though not wholly unsuc.
cessul, our experience has taught us that the pc.
pers of this class published in the large Northern
cities possess advantages those oi the country
which, in measure, defy competition. But here
the case is different. Baltimore, standing as il does
on the frontier of the Southern States, il yet near
enough 10 the great commercial, literary and po.
litical emporium, to be included in the ncighbor.
hood OF great American cities and to ENJOY all the
advantages, as a radisting point, which are pos.
sessed by either PHILADELPHIA, Boston or New York

wants and tastes of Southern reads than lhose Nor.
thern papers which now draw so large amount
of their patronage from the Southern public.
Entertaining these views, we have looked with
confidence to the success of the Continent. Eight
months experience has tended to strengthen that
confidence, and we enter upon its public alton
with firm conviction that all that is necessary to
secure for it circulation equal TO that OF its North
ern contemporaries, is faithful and energetic dc.

family. With this view, shall dr aw for lit.

Pains will be taken to give the latest intelligence
ali subjects OF interest TO the general reader, to
the exclusion OF the vast amount of local matte.
such personal gossip, police reports. theatrical
and other criticisms, which make up SO large por
ton OF the staple of some OF the popular weeklies
OF the North. In a word, though shall endea
vor to make our paper interesting to all, our cbei
aim shall be to adapt it to the wants and tastes Of
the people of the South and South West, upon
whom, and those of own city Tho are disposed
to sustain such ajournal, we must mainly depend
for support. .7-- ,ls...- q ,.a
Relying more upon the intrinsic merits of our pa
