IL MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. Its general aims and objects, ard
the manner in which they oirried 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 in kelig-
ion, of no other clique in Literature or Art. 1t
aims to meet the wants AID express the senti-
ments of the wise and good the conserva i've and
patriotic, who form the mass Of the citze4 of ey-

The series OF Illustrated Papers upon American
Scenery, Manners, and History will continue to
be special feature OF the Magazine. These will
be continued at frequent intervals, until every

from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sideIation as those IL the most Intimate friends
Of the Editors. They might spare themselves
much labor by refusing to examine contributions
from those whose nlmes are not already known

ses corresponding duties upon the Publishers
At no former period have their facilities been
as great as now; and they pledge themselves that
no effort CT expense shall be spared to make the
Magazine worthy Of a continuance and increase
OF the favor with which it has unfit rniy met.
