To die pat rons of the Southern Literary Messenger.
a he startling cost at which this work lias been
established, and is sustained, and the backward
ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of
our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap
peal, not to their liberality—but to tlieir justice.
If punctual payments are ever necessary, thev are
pre-eminently so in the ease of such a publica
tion,—purtdy literary— almost wholly original—
and destitute ol the vita) aid which newspapers
derive .from advertisements.
My all is at stake, in this enterprise.—lt is a
venture, stimulated indeed by some hope of e
molument; but founded largely, also upon the
well warranted expectation of rallying Southern
talents and Southern public spirit, around the
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of South
ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claii.***
upon Southern justice —can it be, that thes are
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and le*
them remember, that payment is due in advance,
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts
they ow e to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the feet
and date of mailing; and retaining a anemoran
durn of each note sent.
