OUCH is the name and style of n Monthly Peri

Lord willing, to commence on the first Monday in
January next. The main design of this Journal is
for the discussion of all subjects pertaining to Chris
tian faith and practice. Additional to this, we shall
present such articles of literary character, original
and selected, as will have tendency to refine the
taste and elevate the sentiment of the reading pub
lie. Politics also, considered as science, and as
affecting the principles of Law and Government,
and more especially the mighty movements OF the
nations. as they work out the designs of God, will
claim due and proper attention. But Politics de-
Graded to the squabbles of demagogues and factions,
will be utterly eschewed and repudiated.
As respects matters purely religious, we shall, Of
course, advocate the principles Of the Baptist Com
munity. as derived from the Scriptures, and repub
sh from standard and other respectable works, ar
tclcs pertaining to our own Literature; but our
columns will be

of all articles for insertion, and to make such crt-
cism on them as may be deemed expeaient,
In this undertaking. we have the .satisfacton o
announcing that several gentlemen of eminent abi-
ty and atainmcnts have kindly engaged to render
US occasional assistance

reading matter, and such advertisements as our
friends may favor us with, not inconsistent with the
character Of the work,--making at the end of the
year neat volume of 4S0 pages, suitable for bind
ing in book form.
With regard to the mechanical execution Of the
work. we deem the announcement, that this will be
under the direction of the Nlessrs DuRIsoE a sufi-
cent guaranty for its faithful and tasteful perform
ance-and without further words, encouraged by
the expressions Of good will and promises Of sub
stantia and from many friends, we throw the mat
