The readers Of the Continental are aware of
the important position ii has assumed, of the
influence which it cxerts, and Of the brilliant
array Of political and literary talent of the
highest order which supports it. No puhica-
ton Of the kind has, in this country, 50 sue
cesstully combined the energy and freedom Of
the daily newspaper with the higher literary
tone of the irSt-clasS monthly; and it Is very
certain that no magazine has given wider
range to lis contributors, or preserved itself
SO completely from the narrow influences pt
party or Of faction. In times like the present.
such a journal is either power to the land
or it is nothinr. That the CoGd5tctf0i is not
the latter is abundantly evidenced Jy ,rhat 1t
has done-by the reflection of its councils in
many important public events, and in the char
aCtcr and power Of those who are its saunCh-
est supporters
BY the accession of Hon. Robert J. Walker
and Hon. +. p. Stanton to its editorial corps;
the CCRttRentdt acquires strength and q
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 publ
cation of the kind in America Preserving
all 'the boldness: vgor, and ability which
! a thousand journals have attributed to it. it
and discuss fearessly and frakly. every prin-
cple involved in the great questions Of the
day, The first minds Of the country, embrace
ing men most familiar with its diplomacy and
most distinguished Tor bility, are to become
its contributors and it is no mere "flattering
promise Of a prospectus" to SAY, that this
.'magaZine for the 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
editorial labors, continue his brilliant contri-
buttons to its pages and Edmund kiyke, au-
thor of Among the Pines will contribute to
each issue, having already begun work on
Southern Life and Society, which will be
found far more widely descriptive, and in all
respects, superior to the FIRST.
While the ContmeHtgL will express decided
opinions on the great questions Of the day, it
will not be a mere political journal much
the larger portion of its colnmus will be en-
Iiyencd, as heretofore, by tales, poetry, and
humor. In word, the Continental will be
found, under its new staff of Editors occupy
ing position and presenting attractions
never before found in a magazine.
