The readers of the Continental are aware of
the important position it has assumed, of the
influence which it exerts, and Of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent of the
highest or,ier which supports it. No puh'ica-
tion Of the kind has, in this country, so sue
cessfuIlY combined the energy and freedom of
the daily newspaper with the higher literary
tone of the frst-clasS monthly; and it is very
certain that no magazine has given wider
range to its contributors, or preserved itself
so completely from the narrow influences Of
party or of faction. In times like the present,
such journal is either power to the land
or it is noihing. That the Continental is not
the latter is abundantly evidenced 6y Hhdt II

many important public events, and in the char
acter and power Of those who are its staunch-
est supporters
BY the accession of Hon. Robert ]. Walker
and Hon. T. p. Stanton TO its editorial corps,
the Continental acquires a strength and
political significance which, TO those who are
aware of the ability and experience Of these
gentlemen, must elevate it TO "A position far
above any previously occupied by any publl-
cation Of the kind in America. Preserving
all .'the boldness, y;gor and ability which
thousand journals have attributed to it, it
will at once greatly enlarge its circle ofaction.

most distinguished Tor ability, are 10 become
its contributors and it is no mere "Hattering
promise Of prospectus" to say, that this
''magazine for ;he times will employ the first
intellect in America, under auspices which
no publication ever enjoyed before in this
country.
CHARLES GODFREY LELAND the accomplished
scholar and author. who has till now been the
sole Editor of the Magazine, will beside his
edit toral laborS, continue his brilliant contri-
buttons to its pages and Edmund kirke, au-
thor of Among the Pines" will contribute to
each issue, having already begun Il work on
Southern Life and Society, which will be
found far more widely descriptive, and in all
respects, superior to the Erst
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on the great questions of the day. it
will not be mere political journal: much
the larger portion of its colnmus will be en-.
livened, as her, tofore, by tales, poetry, and
humor. In word, the Continental will be
found under its new staff of Editors, occupy
ing a position and presenting attractions
never before found in magazine.
