IT'S ANN WILL BE

FIRST In Literature, to leave no province
represented, 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 it's
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor,
will not 90 uneared for, The publishers wish
to say, also, That while native writers will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement, and viii
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ArLASrIO, they will 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 theil Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read.
SECOND: In the term ART thew intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics and
geographically to make this critical department
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 viii be
the organ of no party or clique, but win hon
estly endeayor to be the exponent of what its
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
scesds all persons and parties and which alone
makes the basis of q 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 COM
mand, they ubioin 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
unlns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of mtrin.
