lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
Recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper 16 by % lnchcs made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be coinpre hensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable

partments Of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend OF our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in SO commendable
undertaking, that its publication my make in
the progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
llsrious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly. s3g ah@ 4@t
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most Of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

subject Of a Southern Organ, to be estab-

&c. FELLow-CITIZENs: A number Of Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress from
the Southern States of the Confederacy deep
~ impressed with a sense Of the dangers
which beset those States, have considered
carefully our means of self-defence within
the Union and the Constitution, and have
come to the conclusion that it is highly impor-
tant to establish in this city a paper, which,
without reference to political party, shall be
devoted to the rights and interests Of the
South, so far as they are involved in the ques-
tons growing out of African slavery. To
establish and maintain such paper, your
support is necessary, and accordingly we
address you on the subject. 81 ,7;, A sg,... e,
In the contest now going on, the consti-
tutional equality of fifteen States is put in
question: Some sixteen hundred millions
worth of negro property is involved directly,
and indirectly, though not less surely, an IN
calculable amount Of property in other forms.
But to say this is to state less than half the
doom that hangs over you. Your social
forms and institutions-which separate the
European and the African races into distinct
classes, and assign to each a different sphere
" in society-are threatened with overthrow

ties. Of citizenship-in short, all the honors
and dignities of soeiety--is a question OF
greater moment than any mere question Of
property can be. asaa.l1 OK,
Such is the contest now going on-a con-
test III which public opinion, if not the pre-
vailing, is destined to be most prominent
force and yet, no organ of the united inter
ests Of those assailed has as yet been es-
tablished, nor does there exis: any paper
which can be the common medium for an
interchange of opinions amongst the South
ern States. Public opinion, as it has been
formed and directed by the combined nhu-
ence OF interest and prejudice, is the force
which has been most potent against US in
the war now going on against the institu-
ton Of negro slavery; and yet we have ia
ken no efiectual means to make and mann
tain that issue with it upon which our safety
and perhaps our social existence depends.
Whoever will look TO the history Of this
question, and to the circumstances UNI
der which we are now placed, must see
that our position is one Of imminent danger,
and one to be defended by all the means,
moral and political, of which we can avail
