THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY,
PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & cos

DEVOTED TO Literature, ART AND POLITICS
ITS AIM WILL BE

T. lTS AIN WILL BE
FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, 50 that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value, it will also he found that the healthy ap-
petite of The mind for entertainment in it's vari-
Gus forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor, will
not 60 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 Ar
LANT1c, 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 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; Up the term ART they intend to in
Clude the whole domain of aesthetics, and hope
gradually to make this critical department q
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 bethe
organ Of no party or clique, but will honestly
endeavor to be the exponent of what it's 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 trans cends all persons and par
| ties, and which alone makes the basis IF true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any sect or anties but with that
body Of men which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tioual Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private .g- ~ = 4.s.@
As all 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 intriu-

Sec. Staunton staunch Democrat,
in speech delivered in Kansas, thus
comments on the English bill: 49,
I. Gentleman, lean hardly trust myself to speak
ofthis passage in the history of my country. No
greater crime against liberty has been ayoherc COM
mitted during this century. AN the miserable and
fl.msy pretezts- the technical preposterous dog
attemptedto be justified and upheld, are but the
thin dssg,ise Under aphich styranny andwrong hope
to conceal their unhoIy purposes. The Admins
trationwellknows- Congress knows-the who
le world knows-that the people-of Kansas are
almost unanimous against the Lecompton fraud.
The unfortunate and discreditable circumstan-
ces under which the instrument was clothed
with the regular and technical forms of law,
have been fully exposed. No man need be ig-
norant of any Of the facts. And yet by means
of a technical prcsumption-though mere le-
gal fiction-positive and we'll known facts are
made to giveway-a known falsehood is to be
established as truth-and the constitutional
rights of free prople are to be sacrificed and
trampled in the dust! Gentlemen, when the
passions and prejudices of the present hour shall
have passed away, the spectacle now exhibited
will be considered one Of the most extraordinary
phenomena ever presented in the history Of the
world. The solid and substantial liberties in
tended to have been secured to the States and
Territories, by the constitution of the United
States, are to be substituted by 9 mere sham,
mere painted bubble, d mere gossamer, cob
web tissue of false logic and contemplate tech
nicalities; and almost the whole body Of 8 once
powerful and patriotic party is seduced infatua-
ted and mesmerized, to believe the patent and
baleful lie! sSs ~, i nj z.s,ss- 81 .as,sss.

the West side Of the Upper Mississippi is only
open to presumption, there is little opportunity

of their lands and in social advantages which
arise from the system Of land in limited guam

The country around st. Cloud, west of the

treaty made with them by Hon. Alexander
Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified by
the senate the same year., The Sioux had
owned the land from 1927 but had not occupied
It, and it was used as a hunting ground by the
Winnebagoes whose land reached within four
miles north Of st. Cloud. Their country was
ceded to the United States BY q treaty began
with Commissioner Manypeny and concluded
at Washington in Feb, 1866 and ratified by the
Senate March Sd Of the same year. In May
