ITS AMI WILL DE

FIssT: In Literature, to leave no province
represented SO that while each number viii
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value. il will also be found that the healthy
appetite Of the mind for entertainment in ita
various forms Of Narrative, Wit, and Hu1nor,
will not go unsarcd for, Tho publishers y jah
to say, also, that while native writers will re-
ceire the most solid encouragement, and viii
be mainly relied on to fiji the pages Of the
ATLANTIC, they viii not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command, rs 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 mako their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain Of aesthetics, and
geographically 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 consid :ratiOns Of what kind soever.
TuaD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ Of no party or clique, but will hon
estly endcayor to be the exponent of Whist liz
conductors believe to be the American idea,
It viii deal frankly with persons and
with parties endeavoring always TO keep
in view that moral element which tram
sccads all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity. It viii 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 CON-
mand, they subjoin the following list of literary
persons Interested i'll 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 DC guided purely by their sense of intrin-
sic merit -

REACTION IN TIE SHrPBUTLpNG TRADE.-For
some time past the complaints Of duiness ir
the shipbuilding trade have been frequent and
doleful Business In that line seemed to be
totally suspended all the winter; the dockyards
had been converted into 30 many deserts, the
sound Of the hammer was heard there no more.
But there appears TO be sudden reaction, for
the ehipyards are all alive, again and there are
now, we believe, some eight or ten large YES
sells on the stocks. This no doubt, Is the result
of the growing activity Of commerce and trade
generally, and the cheering prospect Of &C
abundant harvest, which instils new life into
every branch Of business. The bodybuilding
and shipping trade OF New York are pretty fair
induces, as general rule, Of the condition Of
commerce throughout the whole country They
rise and fall, like mescury in the thermometer,
as the country Ia prosperous or the contrary.

THE END or TANANY HALL.-The democracy
outside of Tammany Hall 0or Tammany Is In ths
hands Of the Albany Regency are now organic
ing in this city and throughout the State, and
will soon have the whole conservative ele
ments Of the Empire State with them. The de
mocracy Of all the democratic States is alresd,
with the Breckenridge ticket, and the democrat
of New York are not likely to throw away theii
votes on ticket that will be repudiated by the
seventeen States which have sure majorities fol-
the democracy. Tammany Hall will thus b.
left in the Iurcb. Like sbeep-killipg dog II
will be thrown overheard, with the Regency
tied TO is neck es dead weight, to sink Il &c
the depths Of perditon; and that will be the
end Of Tammany and the Regency. In tbeii
lives they were twin brothers In corruption and
rascality, and In their deaths they will not be
divided.

PROGRESS OF THE CENsUs.-As the census n
turas are reported in the different cities an
towns throughout the country, it would apes
as If the increase Of population will not be
great as was calculated upon. However, unit
the work is completed, 1t will be impossible
make any safe estimate Of the result, for th
returns show SO many unexpected variation
and apparent incongruities in several localitie
that speculation is somewhat baf1ed. For In
stance, it would appear that Ohio, instead
increasing her population for the last ten year
as might be expected Of that fruitful and pros
porous State, has actually fallen of. Illinois
on the contrary, has increased in population
nearly million in the same time, which Nigh
account for the decrease in Ohio, a large emf
grafton to the younger and more rising Stat
probably having been progressing during tn
last decade.
The returns from Maine go far show an Ii
crease Of nine per cent in many districts owe
the census of 1850; and in Hartford and Nes
Haven, Connecticut, and the other manufactur
ing towns of that State, the increase Is abou
eleven per cent The aggregate population
Connecticut will probably be 100000. On tn
other hand, several manufacturing towns II
Massachusetts, have fallen off, such as Merrimac
Pelham, Hudson and others. In New York AMI
Pennsylvania there Is considerable variation IL
the small towns the population of come having
increased, and that Of Others diminished and q
it will doubtless prove pretty much in ever,
Atlantic State, but In the large cities we lool
for uniform increase.
From reports received at Washington upor
the progress of the census, it appears that tn,
population of the United States il about thirty
two millions; yet we are disposed to think tina
ii may run little, though perhaps not mach
over that.

The PHILADELPHIA PoLIoE ONCE NoRx.-1hs
Philadelphia editors are in great distress o.
mind over our structures upon the conduct d
their police during the time Of the Japanese
visit to the Quaker City One of these irats
journalists says
There was multitude OF spectators In PHILADELPHIA osf
the day when the ia circutously couveye
through the city a, the rate ~ mile an hour but
Japanese neither crowded upon nor beset, In
suited here Our police had no need 70 interfere 1t
advertised 10 be seen In Nibo's Garden daily at eft
cents head II New York Aldermen who sod
forged tickets Of admission for rowdes to the Jspanes
ball. Lastly, the whole municipal appropriation O
$40 600 in this city was not expended, whereas EeS
York voted $780, 900 to entertain the Embassy and cet
tain Aldermen and Councilmen spent 500 200 In enter
tanning themselves
Now there is no doubt as to the fact that the
mob in Philadelphia did insult and annoy tn
Japanese ENJOYS when they entered that city
The testimony in proof Of the charge Wa
gathered from the Japanese themselves, from
the Philadelphia papers, and from reliable
eye witnesses, altogether free from preju
dice. So far from the truth is tn
statement that the New York reporters
colored their accounts 80 as to max.
the matter worse than it really was, the fact
they rather softened 1t down. We were assure,
at the time that the behavior of the Philsdel
phia mob was rude and vulgar in the extreme
and that the police never once attempted Il
teach the people better manners. Here, on tn
contrary, the police arrangements were all tina
could be wished, and the people behaved /
the most gentlemanly way. We have neve
denied that the New York Aldermen were tru
to their natural instincts, and turned the bA
into a revel for the especial delectat'o
Of their friends from the Five Points an
o4her agreeable localities. What we di
ssg-and we desire to keep our Philadel
conduct Of the Philadelphia police, apropo
to the Japanese, proved that they did not un
derstand their business, that they made no a.
rangements to protect the ENJOYS from tn
rowdies who beset the Ambassadors carriage
and violated the privacy of their apartments
and that, therefore, the police aforesaid do no
deserve any part of the princely gift of the En-
bassy That is our point, and the PHILADELPHIA
editors must see, if they are not utterly stupit
that it is sustained by common sense and th
facts in the case. As the matter Of the differ
ence between the New York and PHILADELPHIA
appropriations, it is quite Characteristic. Philt
delphia, being village when compared to Ne
York, made small appropriation Nigh
call it mean, but we will spare their feeling
and say small-c haracteristically small. That
all for to-day.

Personal vs.. PARTY NOMINATIONS FOR THE
PREsrpENcY.-Of the Candidates In the field for
the next Presidency, only two represent living
party organizations. Mr.. Douglas stands at the
head Of ragged and broken column; Mr.. Bell
was nominated by convention Of fossil wings
and broken down Know Nothing politicians; Sam
Houston's army is Of the Falstatlian order, and
so on through the list, up to Breckenridge and
Lincoln, both Of whom are backed by powerful
party organizations, and have certain amount
Of definite support That Lincoln will carry
the bulk Of the electoral vote North is beyond
peradvepture. That Breckenridge will be
equally strong in the South admits of no reasona.
BILE doubt The other candidates are all per-
sonal representatives Of cliques, and have no
strength beyond the support Of their imme.
date friends. Choose, then. between Breckin-
ridge and Lincoln.
