The publishers of the SOUTHERN QUARrERIv
REyrrw beo leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the m
variable INDULGENCE which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto. and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands Of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as il
were, fresh star in the pursuit of a well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
addition ~ many new ones not less valuable and
DISTINGUISHED nnder the conduct still of Mr.. wv.
Gumomr Srmms. its sole Editor during the past

hers now hao leave 10 give. that The work will be

which will leave il second TO none IN the country
they will continue TO receive that patronage which
thsir own endeavor and the claims of such AN or
gan seem reasonably TO demand.
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number Of the best and ablest names OF the
country: They represent the highest literary
~
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real poll
icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance OF such periodical as the Review,
to excuse it's deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves TO its assistance. With their counte-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-
lished organ Of domestic opnlon-the champion
Of our rights and character abroad--the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home--the arena in which the better minds of
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper provocation to execution and
performance--the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigested speculation. These
are all objects of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remlssness and ndIffer-
ence. once more, we ask from the patrons OF the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym
