OF THE Soiil'icrn Literary Tlesseiu*ei\ 1 1 1 HIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly A to Literature, but occasionally room also tor articles that fall within the" scope jp Science ; and not professing an entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been it will continue to be, in the main, original. ’ Party Politics, and controversial lfieolo*,, as far as possible, are jealously excluded. They are sometimes so blended w ith discussions in litera ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjectiftf. able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valuable matter to which they adhere: brr whenever that happens they are incidental , only not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be cause it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incorporated. Reviews an;: Critical Notices, occupy ih e j r due space in the work : and it is the Editor’s an < that they should have a threefold tendency— -t 0 convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting incidents as are embodied in tin works reviewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to warn him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which merit only to be burned, j u this age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract and oveiwhehnn every uudis criminaUng student, impartial criticism, gov erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the most me- unable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him .who docs wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a musement, or both— Historical sketches— and Reminisences ot events too minute for History yet elucidating it, and keightning its intere.-t— --may be regarded as forming tii» staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is published—sometimes of no mean strain—to'man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. 'I he times appear, ‘for several reasons, to de mand suc.il a work—and not one alone, but manv. The public mind is feverish and irritated sniff from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive influence ol Literature is needed, to aiiav that fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly are rioting abroad .—i hey should be driven bv indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their 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, iike a portentous cloud, over tly: des tinies of our country. Ynd to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be em ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes senger ; if that plan be but carried out in prac tice ? 1 The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south ot' Washington, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-live or thirty ! Is this contrast justified by the wealth the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literarv taste of the Southern people, compared with those ot the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least’, an equality with our brethren ,nd a domestic insti tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af fords us, it we choose, tw ice the leisure for read ing and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense ol this local want that the word Southern was engrafted on this peri odical: and not with an y design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter csts. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi tor’s fervent wish, to stetne'North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the sill;to bands ol mutual kindness arid affection, tar from meditating hcsiUily to the north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much ot his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed wih he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contri bute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, anil to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fra ternal love. CONDITIONS 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly numbers, ot 64 large super royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and ne i» v cov ' eret *’ at 5® a year—payable in advance **• Oi me new subscribers, by sending tlieii names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or at $4 for each. o. Ihe risk of loss of payments for subscrip tions, which have been properly committed to the mail, or to the hands ol a post master, is assum ed by the editor. 4. Ila subscription is not directed to be dis continued before the first number of the next vol ume has been published, it will betaken as a con tinuance for another year. Subscriptions must commence with the beginning of the volume, and will not be taken for less than a year's pub lication. o. Ihe mutual obligations of the publisher and subscriber, lor the year, are fully incurred as soon as the first number ot the volume is issued: and after that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription be discontinued for any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, utiles t the option ol the Editor. „ ' CARD. 1.0 the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger. Ihe startling cost at which this work has been established, and is sustained, and the backwa d ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pari of our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. It punctual payments are ever necessary, they are pie-eminentiy so in the case of such a publica tion, purely literary—almost wholly original— and destitute of the vital aid which newspapers derive from advertisements. My all is at stake, in this enterprise.——ls is * venture, stimulated indeed bv some hope of e inoluineiit; but founded largely, also upon the well warranted expectation of rallying Southern talents and Southern public spirit, around the drooping and w ell nigh prostrate banner of South* cm Literature. Since it has now acquired claims upon Southern justice—can if be, that that 'ire urged in vain ? Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and 1«< them remember, that payment is due in advance, will, 1 trust, without delay, transmit the mounts they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact and date ot mailing; and retaining a memoran dum of each note sent.
