The readers of the CoNTINENTAL are aware OF The
important position ii has assumed. Of the influence
which it exerts, and of the brilliant array of p0liti-
caland literary talent of the highest order which
supports it. No publication Of the kind has. in
this country,so successfully ctmhiBcd the energy
and freedom Of the daily newspaper with the high
er literary tone Of the ~frst-class monthly; and il ii
very certain that no magazine has given wild or
range TO its contributors; or preserved itself 50 COM
p%letely from the nsyrOY influences Of party or of
faction. Ia times like the present, such a jourusl
Is either . power in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental Is not the latter is abnEdautIy
eysdeneed By what it has done by the rejection Of
its eOu1sels in many important public events. and
in the character and power of these who are it's
staUnchcst supporters.
Though but little more than a year has elapsed
since the Continental was first established. il has
during that time acquired a strength and q signi-
6cance e%levnting it 10 - position far above that pre-
vlouSly occupied 4 SfreGS th and a political signiG-
canoe e%levating it 70 a position far above that pre-
viously occupied by ony pullie8tien'-of the kind IN
America. In proof of which assertion we call at
tention to the following facts:
l. Oft poiical articles Tspublishcd in paurphlet
form, a single one has had, thus far, u circulation
Of one hundred and six thousand copies.
2, From its literary department, asingle serial
novel. "Among the Pines" hos, within a very few
months, sold nearly thiriy-fve thousand copies =
Two otaer seFies Of its literary articles hsye also
been repablished in book form, while the hrst por-
ton Of a third is already ia press.
TO more cOnclusiyo facts need he alledgcd to
prove the the excellence Of the contributions to the
Continental, or their extraordinary poPula -itv; aud
IL conductors are determined that it shall not fail
behind. Preserving all "the boldness, vigor and
ability which o Thousand Journals have attributed
TO 1t, 1t viii greatly enlarge it's circle of action. and
discuss, fearlessly and frankly. every principle in
uolVed Id the great questions of the day. The first
minds Of the country embracing the men most
fsmiliar with its diplomacy and most distinguished
] Tor ability. are AMONG itG coufrihntorr4 ard r. =
no more "hattering promise of a prospectus" to say
that this "magOz;ne for the times will employ The
the first intellect in America, under auspices which
no publication ever enjoyed before in this country.
While the Continental will exnress decided
opinions on the g;cat questions of the day, it will
not be a mere political journal: much the larger
portion Of its columns will be enlivened, as hereto
fore, by tales, poetry and hUmor. In word, the
C9ntnental will be found, under its new staff Of
Editors, occupying a dositiun aud presenting atIrac-
tons never before found in magazine.
