THIS Magazine was started thrae years ago,
for the purpose OF keeping fresh IN the popular
mind some knowledge OF those grand pnncI'
ples of Consent and Self-Government which
were the basis OF this Union as 1t " as establish,
ed by our IA hers. Our patrons can say with
what zeal and fearlessness we have explained
and defended Iho-e sacred principles of Liberty
| IN tn. midst Ct mobs aud baSllleS, during the
progress of The war. Though The war is over,
the objects, the wrongs and fatal precedt MS II
was designed 10 establish are not reIinquIshed
10y the prrpagands:s Of despoti IN who brought
II about; OH The con rary they seem determln-
hG lha there shall be no resi- TO cur country un-
Ill their mlschIeyous and sgradng notions arc
rcImanenty fastened upon The ruined iounda-
ions OF this Republic. So The OLD GUARD
will remain at lis post, still l;t'lIng for the
grand doctrines OF State Sovereignty and Con
stiutional Liberty.
Believing that imminent necessity exists ioT
the establishment, in the CITY Of New York, Of
first class Democratic Magazine, which shall
rescue American literature from the degrading
faint of negro equality, The Old Guard will be
Enlarged, on The first Of January, TO sl1ty.tuuT
paeeo monthly, in order to maize room for i'm
poIlant and intert sting Literary and Family
Reading, and It's proprietorS earnestly appeal
10 all lovers OF genuine American literature
TO aid them IN their attempt to give the public
something purer and better than the noxIous
brood OF magazines which have Sown broadca I
the banelu! LoclrincS Of sectional hate and AMI
mostly.
The Old Guard is pleased TO announce among
It's patrons and contributors for 1866 nearly all
the leading Democratic writer's and thinkers
