pose Of encouraging and introducing to the public

ORIGINAL WESTERN LITERATURE.
The West has no literature was remarked by a
prominent speaker IN public assembly, not long
time since. The West has a Iitcrature-a literature
of her own-fresh bold, vigorous, an beautful-not
refined into stupidity not degeneratcd into obsceni
ty-but looming up like her own mountains, fortile
as her rich soil, attractive as her blooming praries
1t has been tho object of the Genius to gather in the
choicest productions of this literature and to send
them forth again, to encourage, TO please and to In
struct IL is not surprising that the public have
garded this object with extraordinary fayora favor
which is evidenced by the remar kabe success OF the
and admiration of cultivated minds in all parts Of the
country. From South Carolina, from New England,
from Oregon from every quarter whore it has become
known, thoro come eager calls for the Genius ac-
companied with words OF such enthusiastic commend
alton as may well excite in the editors, as.well
contributors, feelings Of pride and pleasure.

spicuous in the foremost rank; and the enlistment of
his pen in the editorial department cannot fail to OK
cite deeper and still wider interest in tho minds of
tho reading public.
The typographical execution of the work has also
been improved and SO arranged as to afford much
greater amount Of reading matter, without any ad-
vance in price
Now and valuable contributors have been engaged
whose contributions will enrich the pages Of the new
volume.
