At the conclusion Of the first ha-year of the
Union Magazine, the publisher feels impellcd to
make some acknowledgment of his sense of the
favorable reception accorded to it by the public
Its success has certainly been unprecedented; and
while it may be PardOable to ascrbe this in part to
the merits of the work, it must not be denied that
public goodwill and kindness have been abundant
ly demonstrated. The press, in all parts of the
country, has given its voice literally and heartily in
favor of the new asprant.
| To flag after this, would be dishonorabIe indeed.
1t is the hope OF the Publisher that the courage and
enterprise which belong to success will bc found
rather to have stimulated than sackened his eXer-
tons. If there be talent Of suitable kind in the
