The Grand Haven news. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1858-18??, 1863-03-18


TIE readers of the Continental are awarcrof
the important position il has assumed, of the
influence which it exerts, and of the brilliant
array Of political and literary talent of the
highest order which supports it. No publica-
ton of the kind has, in this country, so sue
cessfully combined the energy and freedom of
the daily newspaper with the higher literary
tone of the 6rst-class monthly; and it is very
certain that no magazine has given wider range
to its contributors, or preserved itself so com
pletely from the narrow influence of party or
faction. In times like the present, such
Journal is either u power in the land or il is
nothing. That the CONTINENTAL is not the
latter is abnndantly evidenced By uhdt IL has
done--by the reflection of its eounsels in many
important public events, and in the character
and power of those who are its staunchest
supporters
BY the accession of Hon. Robert j. Walker
and Hon. Il. i. Stanton to its editorial corps,
the Continental acquires strength and po-
litical significance which, to those who are
aware OF the ability and experience of these
gentlemen, must elevate il to position far
above any previously occupied by any publ
cation of the kind in America. Preserving
all "the boldncss, vigor, and ability" which
thousand journals have attributed TO it, il will
~ OlCc HTtatN us clfClc Oh acItOn,
and discuss, fcarfessly and frankly, every prin-
ciple involved in the great questions of the
day. The first minds of the country, embrac-
ing men most familiar with its diplomacy and
most distin .uished for ability, are to become
its contributors and il is no mere +" hatter-
ing promise of prospectus" to say, that this
magazine for the times" viii 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 Kirke, 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, mall
respects, superior TO the first. .i5
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on the great questions of the day, il
will not be a mere political journa. much the
larger portion of its columns will be enliven-
ed, as heretofore, by tales, poetry, and hui
NOR. In word, the Continental viii BIO
found, under its new staff Of Editors, occupy.
ing position and presenting attractions never
before found i'll magazine.
