IT'S AIM WELL BE

FI2sT: In Literature. TO leave no province
represented so that while each number will
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, it 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 unsared for, The publishers wish
=" snx- also that v fle native WRITERS viii pc.
ceIve the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to FL the pages Of the
ATLANTIC, 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 THEN Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken sr read.
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and
hopegradually 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 Ia Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but will hon
estly cndeavor3to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea
1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeayor1ig always TO keep
in view that moral ele7eiiC Which tan
makes the basis of a tFu,saud. lasting national
prosperity. 1t will no rank itself with any
sect of antics. but with tst od- ~ men which
is in favor of Freedom, IaWonei Progress, and
Honor. whether public or private.
AS an earnest of the tpat0ial.a 6tfeir COM
mand they subioin the follow ne li2t If 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.
