Essays and Tales, having in view utility ora. musement, or both— J llst.ihical sketches—a,! Keminisences ol events too minute for History yet elucidating it, and hejghtning its interest may be regarded ns forming the staple ol the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is published—sometimes of no mean strain to'iiian. ifest and to cultivate the glowing poetical taste and talents of our countrv. The times appear, lor several reasons, to dr. mand such a work—aud not one alone, but many, The public mind is feverish and irritated still' from recent political strifes: The suit, nssuasn,' influence ol Literature is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation.

Ignorance lords it over an im mense proportion of our people:—Every serine should be set In motion, lo arouse the enlighten! ed, and to increase flieir number; so that tin great enemy of popular government may no ion ger brood, like a povtentmus cloud, over the dcs. times of our country. \ud to accomplish ;•'! these ends, what more powerful agent can he em ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Ales, sengerq if that plan be but carried out in.iaac tice / The South peculiariy requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of AVushingtou, there arc hut two Literary periodicals!- Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-fiver thirty! Is this contrast justified by the" wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste of the Southern people, i outpaced with those ol the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality w ith our brethren ,nd a domestic insti tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af fords us, if we choose, twice flic leisure for mail ing and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want, tin t the word Souther* was engrafted on this peri odical,: and not with anv design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi tor’s fervent wish, to see the North and South hound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to the north, lie has al ready drawn, and he "hopes hereafter to draw, much ol his choicest matter thence; and harpy indeed w iirhe deem himself, should his pages, }>y making each region know the other better conti i' bate in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra ternal low*.

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.
