New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-08-01

The Free State men Of Kantas have been falsely
accused by men high in place Of acting in obedience
to prtDrtngs from abroad, and with view to
streDe thening the Republican party rather than to
the speeoy and satisfactory redress Of their own
wrongs. Nothing could be falser than these
charges; VI, they have been reiterated from day to
day to sub.erse party end. The first resolve to
organize FIee-State Government as n nucleus Of
resistance to the usurpaions and outrages of the
Border Ruffisns was formed aud ayOwed in Kansas
before it was even thought Of in the Free States,
and so promptly carried into effect that no time was
afforded even for consultation with their friends 10
tie East Thenceiorward the Free State men
have pursued their own course, neither seeking
counsel abroad nor having it thrust upon them.
Their successive steps have been SO wisely taken,
90 evidently dictated by the necessities Of their po-
sition, that we have been impelled to approve and
yindicate them, but we have not attempted ~ chalk
out their course beforehand. But now that the
resolution has been taken, VIC may say, without at
tempting 70 lead that the resolves Of their last Con-
yentioD, and more especially their determination to
participate in The Territorial Election next Octo-
Der, have relieved us from painful anxieties and
strengthened cur assurance Of the ultimate and ut

The Edinburgh R.ritr, with its wonderful pohti'
cal ard literary influence, continued through 50
m,py years, and now hardly diminished. Black
moods owed its success to its most brassy imPu-
dence. Carlyle somewhere compares it to great
pitch link. In these latter dayc, neither the hght
nor the smell are remark able. Frasers, the rival OF
Blaekucods, in coarseness and severity, owed its
existence to Mssinn's pque against the Scotch
editor and announced itself Perhaps upon some
auspicious morning stranger viii make MS appear
apce here, and by his mOdesIy learning beneyoence
and worth, rival the old popularity OF The Spectator.
But be will hardly be accompanied by brass band
and crimson banners.
Mr.. Macaulay says that magazines q resemble
those little angels who, according to the pretty
"Rabbinical tradition, are generated every morn
9" ing by the brook which rolls over the howers OF
Paradise-whose life is song--who MARBLE TILL
"s sunset, and then sink back without regret into
"nothngness. Such spirits bave nothing to DO
"wth the detecting spear of Ithuriel or the VIC
"torious sword of Michael. 1t is enough for them
to please and be forgotten" In this there is much
sense, and in it We may, perhaps find the secret OF
70 many magazine failures in this country Our
periodicals have been, perhaps, little too stately.
Ttey have aimed to astonish instead of trying to
amuse. They have thus met their most formidable
rivals, the newspapers, alta disadvantage. The lat
ter have found it profitable to drop their dignity.
They give all the political, literary and social
information, and generally they give it IN excel
lent style, and at price more moderate
than the magazines can afford. The great i'm
proyement in newspapers, both in England and
this country, has had a very damaging effect upon
periodicals, go that the best Of them are merely
larcenOus compilations. When Blackrood's, Fra
a,'s and other magazines achieved their great
fame, the British newspapers were mlserably con-
Quoted Respectable London journals came out
every morning without line of editorial matter,
and with poor communications bad poetry and
stale news. 1t is only within few years that
journalism has made such great strides, and just
"a il has advanced the mOnthlies have fallen of IN
merit.
We shall welcome with all our heart the appear.
ance of vigorous, independent and thoroughly
honest magazine, in which the best minds Of the
age may find medium of communication with the
world. At the same time, we ,hall not be dlsap-
pointed should the new work, failing to secure the
necessary intellectual assistance, fall back upon the
safs rest URGE of wooden cuts.

The Ltarenworth Times of the 25th states that

A long shore, b!ackened by the remains of all de-
seIiptions of craft from frigates to cOckbOats,
would well enough typify the disasters which have
haunted tie monthly magazine business of this coun

be limited here by some memorable law. We be-
lie,e that we could eDumerate a hundred such,
which have appeared fingered in condition Of
chrome debility, and finally given up the ghost.
