any other publication now in existence at the

Literature, We are well supplied with ably edited

both or either Of these great causes, plan by
which their interests can be made Identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the objec,

the pernicious doctrines Of Abolition and Hostility
to the South, which they have so long l. cen per-
mitted to instil into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceasng aim of this de-
parment of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance Of ready contributors,
has abundant facilities AT hand. " lille awarding
all due merit to other systems OF education, it will
be the aim OF this Journal 10 promote, more
pecinlly, those which most decidedly practical,

constitute the main features of this division of the
work.
The INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT will embrace ex-
tended notices of the progress of THE MECHANIC

full notices of new enterprises, &C.. in each num-
Der, will make il the interest Of those concerned in
them to secure many copies possible, for cir
culation among their friends and patrons.
Beyond thu, "ThE HomE JoURSAL" will make
no promises or pretensions. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way Of none, its legitimate ~ here and aim will
be to promote the interests Of all-recognizing no
party, in education politics, but the party Of
the South, it will seek to preserve the Union of
the South, by developing her resources and slim
ulating the industry of her people.
