Those who haze already seen the Jan.

excellence; and for those who haveno
we prefer affording the unprejudiced and
unsolicited praise Of others. The press

Graham's Magazine to be the iablest and
most beautiful periodical that has ever
been issued in any county. For our.
selves, secure in the faith Of our vast body
of subscribers, we laugh al, as well as
defy the puny efforts of competition
around US. Every attempt 70 steal the
Lions garb, by our imitators, produces
roar which would be discomfiing to any
thing short Of the most brazen preten-
lions. "a sM Az
