With the last Number, HARrER's New MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. Its general aims and objects, and
the manner in which they are carried out, are
now so well known, that the Publishers think it
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazine is the
organ of no party in Politics, of no sect i'll Relig
ion, Of no other clique in Literature or Art. 1t
aims to meet the wants and express the sent-
ments of the wise and good, the conservative and
pItriotic who form the mass of the ctizsns Of eY-

Of the Editors. They might spare themselye:
much labor by refusing to examine contribution:
from those whose names not already known
to the Public; but they are confident that the
Magazine would lose mus n variety and fresh

it has contained have been received from writers
who were unknown to the Editors and to the
public.
