1t is designed to make il equal to any Weekly

tone and sentiment, it is Southern-ts conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citiz ems
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear that it has been
warm unremitting, and aS far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible. ao

llshed requires that the subscription be paid al

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
FINDER this title will be published during the
u year 1850 twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens tho have become
iustrous in the service OF the country Every por-
on OF the work will receive the most careful stten-
ton and nothing will be spared 10 render it worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great men OF the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor a National Cal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to-be superior 10 any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established 10 need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fully
equal and in some respects superior 20 those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will b. on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by % ,achcs made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de
partmcnts of life wbl have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring mon
ument TO the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious nion will respond 10 APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndable an
undertaking, that its publication may make In
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
lnstrious men Of the Union together consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond tho reach Of most Of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore.
