puTHAM's MONTHLY.

THE SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the re.
L peated and urgently expressed wish of emf.
the country, have decided to commence, on fhe
fret Of yanuayy. 1853, AN ENTIRELY ORIGI.
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title.
X is intended to combine the lighter character.
istics of popular magazine with the higher and
graver qualities of quarterly review, filling q
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
is thus obtained there will be an attempt to secure
substantial ExcELLENcE in each department
TO accomplish this we intend that the work in
all its mechanical and business aspects shall he
such as will meet the views of our most distin
gushed wrlters-euch medium as thew would
seek for in communicating with the world, and
such may tempt some to write ably and nrofita
calls.
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there is no lack either of talent
among our writers or of appreciation on the part OF
the reading public; and that properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius as yet undeveoped.
"Putnams Monthly" will be devoted to the in
terests of Literature, Science and Ar-in their best
and pleasantest aspects
Entirely Independent of all merely selfish in.
terests, or partisan or sectional eanings, in its
management, it will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics are deemed i'm.
portant and of public interest.
The critical department will be wholly indepen.
dent of the publishers and far possible of all
personal influence or bias Wholesome castigations
# public abuses will be allowed fair field Without
fear favor.
An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and Independent, yet discriminating and Just,
both to the literature and 10 the social condition
nd prospects of both hemispheres will be cult
ated as leading principle of the work
Special attention will be given to matters con
nected with social policy, municipal regulations
public health and safety, and the practical econo.
mics of every day life.
While a subject needs illustration or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given but is not expected that the success of the
work is to depend on what are termed "embellish-
ments.''
The following, among many others, have ex-
pressed their hearty approval of the plan and will

PROSPECTUS OF THE
mBLAIRSVILLE RECORD. -

The establishment of Democratic paper in the
Borough of Blairsville, Indiana Co., Pa, has
been long desired by the Democracy of Indiana
and Westmoreland Counties, and the encourage
ment that has already been extended, has indu-
ced the subscriber to undertake the publication
of such journal. He therefore, contemplates to
revive the publication of the "BLAIRSVILLE
RECORD, 'and will endeavor to make the paper
interesting, not only to the political but general
reader, and hopes that in the enterprise he will
be sustained by the public.
Believing that our State and National prosper
ity has arisen from the successful administration
of public affairs by the democratic party and the
firm establishment of the principles and policy OF
that party will promote and ensure the happi-
ness of the people, he will faithfully endeavor to
sustain these views, and also adhere to the regu-
lar established usages of the party Deeming it
unnecessary to say more on this head, he only
asks to be judged by the course of the paper.
The materials of the Office will be entirely new
and the paper will be of large size and not infer-
or to any published in the interior of Pennsylva.
MIA. Considerable expense will be incurred, he
therefore most respectfully solicits share of the
patronage of the public.
TERMs.-One dollar and fifty cents per year il
paid in advance, or within six months, after the
expiration of that time two dollars will be char
