Advance.

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times came before the public, and from that
period to the present it has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party OF the sneers and
iibes of partizan leaders. By pursuing a con-
sistent and raightforward career, by a persist
cnt devotion to principles, it has won its way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained a
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished, not by system
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated, and will con-
tinue to advocate, the cause OF the people, and
in doing so it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
of its ability. 1t never has and never will pam
der to the vices of the vicious, and never finch
es from graphing with error wherever it exists.
1t believes in AL honest utterance of the truth
in adhering to right, justice and temperance

wrong in a Just appreciation of the wants of
the honest settler, to whom home should be
guaranteed by Congress, and in the develop
ment of all those resources which are caleulat-
ed to place us first among the States of this
great cOnfederacy.
Many new features will be added to the
TIMES in the course of the year 1858. We shall

reliable news both at home and from abroad !;

PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & cos
NEW MAGAZINE,
DEVOTED TO e
Literature, Art and Politics.
IT'S AIM WELL BE

FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, il 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 will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they will not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as oeca-
sion may require, relying rather on the COM
potency of an author to treat particular SUBJ
feet, than on any other claim whatever. In
this way they hope to make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue 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.
estlv 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 tram
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
it, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind of
ability which desires the avenue of their col
umns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin-
