The atlantic Monthly.
PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & cos
NEW MAGAZs E ,
Literature, Art and Politics.
ITS AIM MILL 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 say. also, that while native writers will re-
ceire the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC they viii 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 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,
SECOND: In the tcrm 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.
TH1RD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but will hon
estly endeavor to be the exponent of what It's
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
scends 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-
81, merit -

bratious.
The following ode, written by Mr.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON, for q Fourth
az July celebration in Concord, IS the ode
to be sung at all celebrations in honor Of
the enterprise just brought to successful
completion =
O tcnderly the naughty day,
Fills his blue urn with fire,
One morn is in the mighty heaven,
And one in our desire.
The cannon boolns from town to town,
Our pulses are not less;
The joy bells chime their tidings down,
-.l Which ehildren's voices bless.
For he that flung the broad blue fold
Der mantling land and sea,
One third part OF the sky unrolled
For the banner of the free.
The men are ripe of Saxon kind
TO build an equal State;
To take the statute from the mind,
And make Of duty fate.
United States the ages plead
Present and Past, in undressing
Go, put yoHF creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue.
For sea and land don't understand,
Nor skies without frown
See rights for which the one hand fights,
By the other cloyen down.
Be Just at home, then reach beyond
Your charter DER the sea;
And mako the broad Atari pond
A ferry of the free.
And, hcnceforth, there shall be no chain,
Save underneath the sea,
The wires shall murmur thro' the main
Sweet songs of Liberty.
The conscious stars accord above,
The waters wild below,
And under, through the cable wovc,
Her fiery errands go.
For He that workoth high and wise,
Nor pauses in his plan,
VIII take tho sun out of the skies
Ere Freedom out of man.

Sugar and Salt.

We commend most heartily the movement
that has been made by Mr.. Morris, OF ILLINOIS,
to put sugar and salt upon the free list. The
people ofthe Great West have been paying trlb-
ute long enough upon these two great articles
of necessary consumption. The action comes
from the right quarter, too, Western rePresen-
tative, and we hope that he will have the nerve
to prosecute this relief, and not be deferred by
the clamor few sugar planters will be sure to
raise when they find that the millions of free
laborers in the valley of the Mississippi do not in
tend any longer to be taxed on articles of daily
food to support them in princely luxury, and
their slave system in vigorous profit. Mr.
Morris has taken the right step, let him go on
and other Western men cannot fail to sustain
him.-St Louis Dem.
In speaking of the duty on Sugar, a Pennsyl-
vania contemporary well remarks, that in the
South four hundred thousand acres of land are
cultivated in the production of sugar cane. Ac'
cording to the census of 1850, the number ol
planters engaged in the cultivation, was only
1851. Last year we paid in duty Sl2,47l, ,OOC
on this single article alone. The whole value
of fthe sugar crop of the United States was les'
than the amount of duty paid upon it. Now
this is direct tax upon those who consume this
article, and it is an especially heavy one upOr
the laboring men of the North-of more thar
twelve millions and a half dollars. 1t is one o
the necessaries of life that enters into universe
UUnsUI-lr-I---t-l got this enormous tax il
imposed upon our laboring men for the beneH
of less than three thousand planters. Thes'
planters are made especial pets of this govern
ment. and all its favors are showered upon them
All other branches of industry have been wholly
neglected, or an open war made upon them
The Democratic party claims that tariff is un
constitutional, and therefore, all protection o.
encouragement is withheld from everybody els'
but these 1900 Shareholders, and they are paid
by Northern consumers Sl2,5OO,OOO for raising
sugar. Have not the Northern people righ
to complain at the outrageous burdenl If thi
tariff would have the effect to stimulate the su
growing business all over the country, as
tariff it is claimed does other branches of indus
try, and thereby diminish prices in the end, j
might be submitted to. But it has no such eff
feet, and is therefore, gross wrong upon th'
North, and is discrimination against free mel
for the benefit of Shareholders.
