Beyond this, "THE HoME JOURNAL " will make
no promises or pretensions. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way ofnone, its legitimate sphere and aim will
be to promote the interests of all-recognizing no
party, in education or politics, but the party of
the South, it will seek to preserve the Union of
the South, by developing her resources and slim
