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 or the sneers and
iibes of partizan leaders. By pursuing a con-
sistent and Straightforward career, by persist
ent 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 pan
der to the vices of the vicious, and never finch
es from graphing with error wherever it exists.
It believes in AL honest utterance of the truth
in adhering to right, justice and temperance
- i'll an outspoken, manly condemnation of
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
TINES in the course of the year 1858. We shall
spare no pains to procure the latest and most
reliable news both at home and from abroad ;
shall publish weekly full and correct re-
port of the Markets, - and shall at all times
devote our exergies to make our paper equal in
all respects to any other in our new and rapid
ly growing State.

devoted othe cause of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle of the Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for 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 in the Con-
gress of 1887, that SLAVERY OF 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 Governments shall be exercised on The
side Of Freedom. s.,s5 sa -

PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & cos
NEW MAGAZINE,
Literature, Art and Politics.
IT'S AIM WILL BE

FIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number viii
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value. it will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment III Its
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humer,
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 occa-
| sion may require, relying rather on the COM
| potency of an author to treat a particular sub
| iect, 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, 49,. IL ~
SECOND: In the t3rm ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and
hope gradually to make this critical department
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 will hon
estly endeavor to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeavoring always to keep
in view that moral element which tram
SCenuS al persons anu pitl leS anu "Hieli tloiS
makes the basis of a 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 - 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-
| sic merit -

Love and Lucre.

Love and Lucre.
Az ALLEGoRY-BY SAKE.
Love and Lucre met one day,
In chill November weather,
And so, to while the time away
They held discourse together.
Love, at first was rather shy,
As thinking there was danger,
In yenturing so very nigh
The naughty looking stranger.
But Lucre managed to employ
Behavior so potential.
That in trice the bashful boy
Grew bold and confidential.
81 hear" quoth Lucre, bowling low,
with all your hearts and honey,
You sometimes suffer, is it 500
For lack of mortal money" rEs
Love owned that he was poor in aughtl
Except in golden fancies,
And meier as yet, had given a thought
To mending his finances.
Besides, I've heard" thus Love went OF
The others hint improving,
"That gold, however sought and won,
Is not friend to loving"
An arrant lie--as you shall see
Full long ago invented,
Bv knaves, who know not you nor me
To tickle the demented." ..
And Lucre waved his wand-and 10,
By magical expansion,
Love saw his little hoyel grow
Into stately mansion.
And where before he used to sup
INTENDED in his cottage,
And erumble DER the .earthen cup
That held his neagre pottage,
Now smoking eiands crown his board,
And many flowing chalice;
His harder was with plenty stored,
And beauty filed the palace.
And Love, though rather lean at first,
And tinged with melancholy,
On generous wines and buildings nurs.,
Grew very stout and jolly.
Yet mindful of his truest friend,
He never turns detractor,
But prays that blessings may attend
His worthy benefactor,
And when his friends are gay above
Their evening whist or euchre,
And drink trimming "Health to Love,
lie drinks ''success to Lucre."
