OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES co Ms i.R.
IL vative Magazfne.--Whe new aspiranls
TOR popular favor are announced, the public have
right 10 demand The grounds upon which such
show OF title TO their patronage Is made. In ac-
anowledg ment Of this, we trace the customs OF
parties in The avowal of principles; OF religious
sects, In the promulgation OF creeds and of Ler-
sons in all pursuits of life, dependent upon the
public Tor success, in their preparatory expositons
Of plans and purposes. The customs thus origin
ating, though sometimes abused are useful and
proper, and should not be discarded. And when,
IN obedience 10 custom, new plans are proposed,
those approving ought not TO withhold their en-
enlargement, as too many do, until they see that
success IL sure, for their aid may be needed 10
secure it, Such q foolish policy as this jeopar-
dies the plan they approve, and haslensits failure
i has defeated many important enterprizes, and
has deprived The country Of good and useful works
II anew proposition OF any kind is approved by
the public, the support Of those approving is OF
right expected, their approval being solicited only
in the view that their more substantial aid viii
not be withheld H5o,.f.t,E
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF THE
itga PROPOSED PERIODICAL. .
q The, SOUTHERN, CONSERVATIVES MAGAZINE will
occupy grounds but little cultivated by American
maga7inists. II is believed that field s open for
a periodical Of a new and, in some respects, a
high'r order than has been aimed al in our maga-
zine literature. In this belief, and with such ar
aim, we announce the Southern Conservative
Mage zine.
. The new magazine will be nalioral and not
sectional; clsiming no merit by virtue of It's es-
tabllshment in the South, but aiming at higher
usef ulness and more general acceptability. -a
II will be Protestant, but not seclarian; opposing
religious bigotry or intolerance on the side,
and iufdelty on the other-laborng in its teach
lngs 70 advance closer union between the several
branc ches of the great family of the church.
will be political, but liberal owing no savish
allegiance 10 parties politicians il will advocate
measures, not men, and will labor only for The
succes of principles. asa @etf@
. IL will be progressive, yet sternly opposed 10
the reckless spirit of innovation SO rife in The
country-aiming 10 elevate and advance, not de-
press; 10 reform1 1and improve, not 10 destroy ;
sacredy adhering 10 the true intent of our great
republican theory, and laboring to advance il 10
its fullest development. cl ..fs
Il will be truly American in tone and sentiment
but will repudiate nothing foreign, merely because
so; believing that the good, the useful, and true
elong not, par excellence, to any favored people,
,ut are the common right of all. jo l
Il will be the organ of pure conservatism.
IL will encourage highioned literature, and
defend pure morals in all the social relations OF
lite. 4 fa..aH I'D F Es
And il will number in its corps of regular con-
tributors of the ablest political and literary
writers Of the country. b5#3a.
The magazine will be printed on the nnest
quality of paper, with new type, and in plain
but superior style. g 4-t.s.,.
Each number will contain not less than so large
octave pages, made up of original articles, con-
tributed and ediforial--reviews, political and
scientific essays, Tomances, poetry, &c.
