OUCH is the name and style of a Monthly
~ Periodical the publication of which we
purpose, the Lord willing, to commence on the
first Monday in january next The main de;
sign of this Journal is for the discussion of all
subjects pertaining to Christian faith aud prac-
tice. Additional to this we shall present such
articles of aliterary character, original and
selected, as will have tendency to refine the
taste and elevate the sentiment of the reading
public. Politics also, considered as a science,
and as affecting the principles of Law and Cow
ernmcnt, aud more especially the mighty move
ments Of the nations, as they work out the
designs Of God, will claim due and proper at-
tention. But Politics degraded to the squabbles
of demngogues and factions, will be utterly
eschcwcd aud dyrepudiatcd.I

of course, advocate the principles of the Bap.
ist Community, derived from THE Scriptures,
and repubIish from standard and other respec-
table works, articles pertaining to our own
Literature; butsqu columns will be
