IT'S AIM WILL BE

FIRST: In Literature, TO leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number Will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, ii will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment IN its
various forms of Narrative Wit, and Humor,
will not go uncared for, The publishers wish
to saw also, that while native writers Wall re-
ceive the most solid encouragement, and Will
be mainly relied on to ELL the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they will not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command. as ocea-
sion may require, relying rather on the COM
potency Of an author to treat a particular sub
fect. than on any other claim whatever. la
this way they hope to make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongEe is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain Of aesthetics. and
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative Of Art, IN all
its various branches, without any regaed TO
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but viii hon.
estly endeavor to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
It will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeavoring always to keep
in view that moral element which tran
sends all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with any
sect of antics. but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom, National Progress, and
Honor, whether public or private.
AS an earnest of the material at their COM
mand, they subjoin the following list of literary
persons interested in their enterprise wishing
il, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind of
ability which desires the avenue of their col
unns, and i'll the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin-
sic merit -

Eoistle TO a Yosang Friend.

Epistle 80 a Young Friend.
I lang hao thought tiny youthful fricnl,
A something to have sent you,
Though it shonid serve no OTHER end
Than just a kind memanto;
But how the subject-thelne may gang,
Let time and chance determine;
Perhaps it may turn out sang,
Perha.s turn oUt q sermon.
Yell try the world soon, my lad,
And Andrew, dear, believe me,
Yell find mankind an unco squad,
And muckle they may grieve ye.
For care and trouble set your thought,
Ev'n when your ends attained;
And a your views may come to nought,
When every nerve is strained. 40
III no say men are villains a
The real, harden'd, wicked, a
VIVA ae nae check but human law,
Are to few restricted
But och. mankind are unco weak,
An little to be trusted;
If self the way'riug balance shake,
It's rarely right adjustedl
Yet they wha IA in fortunes strife,
Their fate we should ma censure,
For still the important end of life
Th1y equally may answer;
A man may haze IN Honest heart,
Tho poverty should stare him;
\ man may tax neebor's part,
Yet hae ma cash to spare him.
Az free, aft han, your story tell,
When wi bosom crony;
But still keep something to yoursel,
Yen scarcely tell to ony.
Conceal yoursel rs weel's you can,
Frae critical dissection; ~
But kcek through every other man,
WI sharpen'd, sly inspection.
The sacred flame of well-placed love.
Luxuriantly indulge it;
But never tempt the Illicit rove,
Tho nothing should divulge it;
l waive the quantum o the sin,
The hazard o concealing;
But och it hardens a. within,
And petrifies the feeling.
To catch dame Fortunes G ID n smile,
Assiduous wait upon her;
And gather gear by ev'ry vile
That's justified by honor
Not for to hide it III hedge,
Not for train-attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent!
The fear o hell's hangman's whip,
70 baud the wretch in ord r.
But where you feel your honor grip,
Let that's a be your border;
It's slightest touches, instant paase,-
Debar a side pretences;
And resolutely keep its laws
uncaring consequences.
The great Creator to revere, .E.H Z
Must sure become the creature;
But still the preaching cant forbear,
And even the rigid feature;
Yet meier with wits profilne to range,
Be comp!aisance extended;
An atheists laughs poor exchange
For Deity offended!
When ranting round in pleasures ring,
Religion maybe blinded;
Or, if she gle random sting,
1t may be little minded;
But when on life we're tempest driv'n,
A con eience but canker-f
A correspondence fx'd wi Heaven
Is sure noble anchor!
A dieu, dear, amiable youth
Your heart can ne'er be wanting;
May prudence, fortitude and truth,
Erect your brow unGauntingl
In ploughman phrase, "God send you
speed"
Still daily to grow wiser;
And may YOU better reck the rede
Than ever did the adviser. 1855

Chicago Tribune for 1857.

FE7HE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is a bold, earn
L est and straightforward Republican paper,
devoted tothe cause of Freedom, Progress, and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle ofthe Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for a campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery, 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic III the Con-
gress of 1857, that Slavery or involuntary ser
vitude shall never exist in territory now free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised on the
side Of Freedom.
