SUCli is the name and style of Il Monthly
- Periodic,. the publication of which we
purpose, the Lord willing, 10 commence on
the first Monday in January next. The main
design Of this Journal is for the discussion Of
all subjects pertaining To Christian faith and
practice. Additional to this, we shall present
such articles Of a literary chu,ucter, original
and selected, as will have a tendency to refine
the taste and elevate the sentiment oil the read
ing public. Politics also. cons cred -. science.
and US affecting he principles of Law and Gov
ernment, and more especially the mighty move
ments Of the nations. as they work out tho de-
siRns of God, will claim due and proper attention.
But Politics degraded TO the squabbrs Of dema-
gogues factions, will bo utterly eschcwed nnd
rcpu.lintcd.
AS respects matters purely religious. we shall,
of course, advocate The principles Of the Baptist
Community, as derived from tho Scriptures,
and repubIish from standard and other respecta-
BILE works, articles pertaining to our own Litera-
ture but our columns will be-
Open to all Of Every Name,
For the defence and advocacy of their principles
claiming only the right to Judge Of the suitable
ness of all articles for insertion, and to make
such criticism on them as may bo deemed ex-
pedient.
In this undertaking we have tho satisfaction
Of announcing that several gentlemen of emil
nent ability and attainments huve kindly en-.
gagged tn render occasional assistance.
The Journal will contain FORTY PAGES Of
reading matter, aud such advertisements as our
friends may favor US with, not inconsistent with
tho character Of the work--mnking at the end
of the year neat volume of 480 pages, suitable
for binding 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 Messrs. DyRI
soE, sufficient guaranty for it's faithful and
tasteful pol Iforinance--and without further words
encouraged by tho expressions Of good will and
promises of substantial aid from many friends,
we throw the matter before the people will, all
assurance of every effort 10 render satisfaction
for the support that may be extended 10 ms, and

Il will be seen from the annexed proceed
ings that there are two candidates, nomina-
ted under peculiar circumstances. The
nomination OF Mr. Scott, made by p private
meeting Of Americans, was not known when
the call for the Temperance Convention was
published, and indeed was not known 10 the
Convention until announced on the appoint
ment Of n committee to nominate a candl-
date The matter was then fully explained,
and we are informed that the committee con-
sdered the question deliberately, and decId-
ed to nominate Judge Pierce for reelection,
three members dissenting. Although the
action of the american" meeting WIS a
surprise to the Convention, as It will be to
the public outside Of the ung, the Conven.
uon did not get excited about It,, hut seemed
disposed TO submit The case quietly Tor the
decision Of the people. Annexed are the

LIE. no word spoken M line written by MN,
Of which we have any knowledge, indicates
that hr sympalhlzes with that party, ar that
be would carry ont Ms principles.
Second lils Nomination we regard AZ an
uuer betrayal OF the great American move
ment traltrrous attempt to wrest II frnm
Ms purpose and mike II munster 10 the self
l,h ambition of the leaders aud demtIoguss
OF ihs dead organizations OF the past
Third - lie was forced UPON the State of
New York by southern votes, against The
wish of our State delegates, and from those
States which no man pTetends can carry
their vote for an American President.
Fourth lie was forced upon the State of
New York against The express wish of
large majority Of our State Legislature a.
galnst the express wish of II majority of the
Stale officers, und We repeat against the ox.
press wish OF twOthlrds Of our delegates IN
