mav be regarded as forming the staple of the
V" 1 indigenous Pof.trv, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste
and talents ot our -country.
I lie times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but many,
ihe public mind is feverish and irritated still
rom recent politic and strifes: The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allav that I
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and' fidlv
arc noting abroad They should be driven by- 1
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into th. -r J
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im
mense proportion of our people:—Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase their number; so that the
great enemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portentions cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. And to accomplish ad
tiiese ends, what m<.qe powerful agent can be em
ployed, than a pcrio«>ral on the plan of tlie Mes
senger; if that plan be but parried put iu prac
tice ?
The South peculiarly requires s*uh an agent.
In all the Union, south of Washington, there are
but two Literary periodicals! Nprt|i\var.i of that
city, there are probably at least twenty-five or
thirty ! Is this contrast justified by tin-wealth,
the leisure, the jiafive latent, or t};e actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared whir
those ot the Northern I No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly c laim, at least, an
re u dity with our brethren ; and a domestic: insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if we choose, tw ice the leisure tor read
ing and writing which tln-y e: j< y.
It was from a deep sense of this load want, that
the word Soutiikk.v was engrafted on this peri
odical: and not with any design to nourish local
prejudices, or to advocate sup] cited local inter
ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor’s fervent wish, to see the North and South
bound endearingly together, fore’.er. -u the .silken
bands of mutual kindness and aifiition. Far
irc ni meditating hostrliti/ to the north, lie has al
ready drawn, and he hopes hercaltrr to draw,
mm hot h;s choicest matter thence; and liappv
indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, b’v
making each region knew the culler bitter contri
bute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now tin>‘.ifi-ii the peace of both, and
to brighten grid strengthen the sacred ties of fra
te.i'nal love.
