WHILE the whole country is flooded with
w newspaper trash, i'll the shape Of politcals,
Astounding IN abuse and SANDER, or IN others that
are called literary papers, but which in truth, are
filled with nothing but roinances and iove-slck
tales pervertng and poisoning the minds OF the
growing generator while the country, we say, is
overrun with these we have no paper, available to
the people, which consults the real interest and
welfare OF this great and growing world OF the
Western Hemisphere.
If the Improvement of mankind was more con
suited by the publication OF useful periodicals, the
people would be less likely to be carried away by
fierce and improbable political striies. A fresh
impulse would be given TO the acquisition OF use
| full knowledge, and the public veal be better pro-
NOTED. Political riyaries would cease, and the
wachword wonid thence be, 'Onward, 10 Great
| ness and Glory"
This impulse must be given. then, by due de-
veopement OF the resources OF the country, IN Its
Agricultural, M neral, Commercial and Mechani
cal relations. knowledge and improvement In all
these departments should be duly cultivated. II is
we'll established axiom, that the Wealth Of Ma
lion consists in its Agricultural and Mineral re-
sources, and It's Mechanical productions.
Our free and happy country is already taking
the lead OF the older powers IN the ATS OF SneM
isry, Mechanics and Manufactures; and If our
whole people will unite to take into consideration
the vast advantages possess in all these depart
ments, America will in all things soon be the gram
dest and greatest Nation IN the Universe Let us,
then arouse ourselves to the contamination of tins
glorious pre- -eninence
Our work will be embellished with numerous ell
egant Engra, ings, representing the Inventions,
Discoveries, improvements, and CutIpsltes IN Art,
Astounding in the Patent Office at Washington city.
This will be peculiar and valuable feature in
our publication and ofitself would be sufficient to
STAMP it as the most useful and interesting perodi
Gals ever presented to the worlds, and we are conf
dent that ALL, the old and the young, the humble
and the great,--the whole American people, will
nail the advent OF such work with pleasure!
We have great NATIONAL OBJECT in view.
We wish to develope and bring to perfection the
resources ofour country, and thus promote the
wealth ofthis great Nation Our work shall be
one Astounding emnently in USEFUL KNOWLEDGE,
and we intend that it shall exert powerful infu-
ence in advancing the cause of the Arts and Sci
ENcEs among ALL classes OF people. Confidently
trusting, therefore, to the SPIRIT OF IMPROVE
MRNT and the thirst for knowledge, which is now
SO conspicuous a trait in the whole American peo-
pie, and confding to the patriotism of the friends
10 whom we send this, we look undoubtedly for a
wide dissemination of the Great National Work.
