THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY,
PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & CO.'S
NE W NJ A G A ZIN E,
DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, ABT AND POLITICS
IT'S AIM WILL BE

llO AIN WILL BIZ
FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value, it will also be found that the healthy APP
petite of the mind for entertainment in it's vari-
GUS for21s of Narrative, Wit, and Humor. will
not go uncared for. The publishers wish to
say, also, that while native writer's will receive
the most solid encouragement, and will be
mainly relied upon to fill the pages Of the AT
LASTIc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command as occasion
| may require, relying rather on the competency
Of an author to treat a particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way
| they hope to make their Periodical welcome
| wherever the English tongue is spoken or read.
| SECOND; In the term ART they intend to in
Clude 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 regard 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 will honestly
endcavor to be the exponent Of what its con-
ductors believe to be the American idea. Ii
will deal frankly with persons and with barties,
endeavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis Of a true
and lasting national prosperity. II will not
rank itself with any sect or anties but with that
body of men which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.
As an earnest Of the material at their COM
n1and, they subjon 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-

The Twenty Fifth National An
ti-Slavery Subscription Festi-

The undersigned who have for so many
years done what they could to promote the
Anti-Slayery cause through the medium of
the american Anti Slavery Society, will,
as usual hold their (Twenty Fifth Ami
Eversary at the close of the year, with the
same purpose Of still further Strengthening
the beneficial influences of that Society,"
Moral, religious and fraternal, for the ex-
tension of Slavery.
At the beginning, before the principles
and measures Of the cause were under
stood, we could not, with the slightest hope
of success, ask Of the public direct contri-
buttons Of money. We therefore devised
an annual Bazaar, for the sale of contribu-
tons of articles; and it afforded an oppor-
tunity of great usefulness both permanent
and social, to the cause.
But the changed state Of the public
mind now suggests directness in the method
Of increasing the usefulness of this ami
versary; and we propose this year to give
our usual sums and take up our customary
collections, by direct cash subscriptions ;
and we entreat the friends at home and
abroad, who have hearts to cooperate with
us, to Go the same, nothing doubling that
the result will much exceed the sum
$4,000 raised last year.
TO our Southern friends we present this
certainty, with increased hope Of their CO.
operation in consequence; for, as none bet
ter than they, know the extent Of the
grief and pain Of slavery, SO none have a
deeper interest in using the most efectual
means Of putting an end to the common
sin and suffering Of our native land.
The money we have annually raised has
hitherto been used to sustain the Natio,,-
al Anti Slavery STANDARD, the organ Of
tbs American Anti Slavery Society. But
by following the recent indications of the
executive, committee Of that Society, in
making individual efforts to place that pa
per on selfsupporting subscription basis,
we shall enable the committee to appropri-
ate the result Of our efforts to the susten-
tation Of faithful and eloquent lecturers
now SO much needed, in far greater num-
| bo,,c ~ N boforo f5zH
By this plan we may accomplish double
the amount Of service to our cause; and
thus furnish it's friends and our own with
two-fold motive to continue and increase
their contributions. ....' @s#5}s
No words from us at this late day are
needed, to stimulate a prudent generosity
by defining all the means that go to change
the mind and heart Of a great nation on
the central question of its policy; or tc
kindle sublime one, by Communications q
a course identified with every thought that
is ennobling and holy, with every hope
that is august and magnificent. with every

every effort that is eplightening and benc

The proprictors Of East St. Cloud have
had an advantageous offer for the greater
part of that property, by a New York COM
pany. 1t is doubtful if they will accept
it, as last year they refused an offer for
three hundred lots, which, if accepted,
would have made the remainder worth
more than it is all worth now; but it will
require q long course Of persistently bad
management to prevent East St. Cloud
property rising rapidly in value.
