GRAHAM AND Cooley, BOTH FOR 50 PER
ANNUM.
TyHE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and &C
L knowledged ability of these popular Maya
zines render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are as household
words in the mouths of those who pretend to judg-
ment in Literature or taste in Art The pens Of
our most accomplished writers, we'll as the bu-
rims of the abest artists enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in enEravings, in the world OF
periodical literature is owing to the fostering
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
Iican periodicals.
Their initaors fail Gl.cays in equalling them, for
want of public support, and the poor dupes who
led to subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year to delude the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these trel established acorks are, yet, the only
reliable sources to which they can look for faith
full performance of all contracts entered into with
subscribers
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
eheapness, elegance and merit of their periodicals,
all that has ever been attempted, and as the works
are dissimilar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidly improving periodical lite
nature Of the age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly mul
tiplied pages, and they challenge the world to
Gel equal the forthcoming volumes, either in the
beauty and cost of their adornments, the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, or in the cheapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-
scented to the American public.

but firm and decided in the advocacy of the
great principles of our republican government,
so ably ciucidatcd in the administrations OF
Washington and Jefferson; and will especially
maintain that sound and enlightened national
policy of sustaining our Southern institutions,
which the people Of Texas in conjunction with
her sister States of the South, have ever held
sacred, AS guaranteed to them by tho constitu.
ton of the United States. And while wc claim
TO have had some experience as editor and
publisher Of public journal, wo shall, at the
same time, bring to its aid the poetic and lite
rary talent of able writers, with whose ability
rs correspondents we are well advised; and Mt
the same time trust that tho Inquirer will be
so judicously conducted MS to encourage and
bring to its support contributors from the En-.
pire State of the South on education, agricul.
turc and internal improvements.
While, then, we unfurl our banner In one OF
the most thriving and delightful villages in the
State, and assiduously devote our energies and
time to make the Inquirer what the develop
ments Of the country demand, and its appear
ancc equal to any journal in tho South, we shall
expect proportionatc encouragement from the
people of Texas, than whom no citizens in the
Union manifest a livelicr interest in whatever
pertains to the maintenance of morality, the
cause of education and tho porpctuty ofrepub.
can institutions.
TERMS:
The Inquirer will be published weekly, on
an imperial sheet of fine paper, neatly cYccu.

THE great success Of the last volume of "GRA
HANS MAGAZINE" owing TO the large increase Of
sterling reading matter, ombolicns the publisher to
attempt more energetic efforts for the new year.
We shall still so conduct the Magazine rs to meet
the vents and wishes of very large body Of the
people, who now begin to look TO periodical works
for the correct and various information which was
previously sought for in heavy volumes and out OF
tho way libraries.
We believe we can So conduct this Magazine that
while II will meet the wishes OF the overs of agree
able literature, II shall still impart In scientific nr.
cles and articles of general utility, information that
will be valuable and desirable TO many. In pursu-
ance Of this purpose, We shall place under the eyes
of our readers not alone articles ofhgh merit writ
ten TO order by our wel.known corps of contribu-
tors, but shall draw upon the first literature OF tho
Old World---as success and increased circulation
may enable I'D still further to increase the number of
pages Of Grdhdm--so that we shall present the very
best articles that published abroad IA well IA
those that are written expressly for us nj home.
We trust that this effort to extend tho usefulness of
tho Magazine, will br met by that continuance OF
favor from our readers which has chccrcd us "a cd.
itor Of the work for more than thirteen years, and
that the Magazine whose foundation was laid In 1890
