THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY,
PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & cos
NEW NJ A G. A ZIN E,
DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, ART AND POLITICS.
IT'S AIM WILL BE

IT'S AIM WILL BE
F1nsr: 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 ap-
petite of tho mind for entertainment in its vari-
Gus forms Of Narrative, Wit, and Humor, will
not 20 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
LANTIC, 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; 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
endeavor 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 true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any sect or antics, 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
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-
aic merit

crash, this county has had to contend with
the loss Of the greater portion Of two crops
by the devastation Of grasshoppcrs.
Our enemies have shown themselves mn
scrupulous and active. Their written
threats, Of more serious violence, stand un-
cancelled, while their private efforts to in
jure our reputation, to cover our name
with most odious epithets, and gross crimes,
arc still actively pursued. We are without
prisons, or regularly organized judiciary,
and those who take the responsibility Of
these attacks are totally irresponsible, ~
we'll as artful and interruptions. They
have already deprived us Of a hope to
which we had long looked forward, quiet,
humble, little home of our own. The
preparation we had made for building, is
now as money lost, for it is not thought
safe for US to attempt living alone. Our
Office must be SO situated, that with our
debility it is impossible for US to haves
proper supervision Of it, for the press must
be placed where it can be guarded, with
out hiring men for that purpose
We are not wont to make pitiful appeale
AOA uclp, UuC We SuOu1u Ue TecTc0DC I'D Uuty
now, not to state the facts, that those who
love the American principles of freedom Of
speech and freedom of the press, may
know that here, in this nominally free
State, it is in danger of being crushed
The Nsiter is no longer a local organ,
although we shall make it prominent OBJ
ject to make known the resources of north
ern Minnesota; but the great object of it's
life is to vindicate the freedom of the press.
For this, men here, Of both parties, have
contributed to purchase the material and
incurred large expenditure in publishing
it. Men of Comparatively small interests
are active and efficient as any, and VIC are
anxious that the responsibility thus assumed
may not fall too heavily upon them. Our
terms Of subscription are as low as VIC eau
make them, and to all who favor us with
subscriptions, we shall try to give the
worth Of their money. The people Of
St. Cloud have acted nobly their part in
this matter, and to the friends of truth and
justice abroad, we now appeal to aid us in
our struggle for the right.
