The times appear, for sever'd reasons, to dp.

The public mind is iV-verislf ami irritated still

: i he South peculiarly requires such an npetit.
In all the Union, south of Washington, there arc
but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that
city's there are probably at least twenty-five or
thirty! Is this contrast jt*Milled by the" wealth,

It was from u deep sense ot this local want, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical: and not with any design to nourish local
prejudices, of to advocate supposed local inter
tfsts. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor’s fervent wish, to see.fi,e North mil South
bound endearingly togetbef, forever, in lire silken
bands of mutual kindness and- affection. Far
from meditating hostility to the north, he has al
ready drawn, anil he hopes hereafter to draw,
much of his c hoicest matter thence; and happy
indeed will lie deem himself, should his pages, by

3 CARD.
To the patrons of the Soutlrcrn Literary Messenger-
The startling cost at which this work has been
cstabjisheu, and is sustained, and the. back*'*
ness ot many subscribers, in fulfilling their pari ol
our mutual compact, calj indispensably lor an ap
peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice.
If punctual payments are eveV necessary,they are
pre-eminently "so in the ease of such a publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original"
and destitute of the vital aid which newspaper
derive from advertisements.
My all is at stake, in this enterprise.—lt * s a
venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of c
molument; but founded largely, also
well warranted expe< tatiorr of rallying southed 1
talents nr.d Southern putdic spirit, around ibe
drooping and weljnigh prostrate banner of Scud "
ern Literature. Since it lias how acquired ciaiß' !
upon Southern justice— can it he, that the* ,ls
urged ill vain ? ' - •
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and * fl
them remember, that payment is due in achetn"'
will, I-trnst, without delay, transmit the niou ! ‘ : '"
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at n ‘l <
j risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the i< lC *
and date of mailing; and retaining a meiuora®
durp of each note sent. >
