THR MONTHLY MAGAzINEs-ASTI-SLAvE
LIrERATURE-BRYAxr AND HILDRETH.--Punc-
tually on the first of the month, have been is
sued Harpers' Monthly Magazine, andlthc Inter.
national Magazine, published by Stringer g.
Townsend. The former, it is said, has now
reached the enormous circulation of sixty thous-
and copies this month, and the latter has nd
vanced already TO about twenty-five thousand
copies. Both are very popular, and as they con-
tain much entertaining and useful reading mat
ter, will continue on successful career. We
observe, however, that there is one thing in the
management of these magazines which betrays
carelessness--that is, the utter disregard OF
those constitutional principles which have been
the foundation of all the success and prosperity
of this country. This is a point which cannot
be too rigdy watched for the future, for it is
important that the youth of cur country should
not be led from their allegiance TO the patriotic
principles of their political fathers, who framed
the early government and Constitution of ou'
country.
In the present number Of Harrers' Monthly
we notice euogistic remarks on Washington lr-
wing and William G. Bryant Mr.. Irving is en-
titled to considerable for his literary works
and there is pleasure in discoursing upon hi'
merits, or in being instructed as to the qualities
of his mind and genius. With regard 10 Bry-
ant, as poet the world has heard enough
and more than enough. In his early years, he
gave signs of being patriotic poet, whose
verses night be Of use to society Latterly
however, he has abandoned the realm Of the
muses. and has become a rabid and dangerous
ant-snvery man, TO whom delicacy of thought
or expression towar Is the patriotic men Of out
times is wholly foreign. In fact the great states
men Of our day, who are devoted to the Union
are daily assailej by him through the reckless
political organ over which he presides From
the possession Of higher literary reputation
than Garrison, he may be deemed, indeed, even
more dangerous than that hater of the sound
constitutional statesman Of the day. Several
years ago, Bryant was prominent consistent
member Of the Democratic party; but he has
united with Van Buren in terrible anti slavery
crusade---a crusade now in its full career to-
wards exhibiting results which may be such as
every good citizen will depore.
When person so notorious, therefore, ma this
writer, has made himself offensive to the eyes of
the people, and particularly to every lover of
