THUS is a monthly Magazine, devoted c hieH

tasteful selections, though its matter has been'
it will continue to be, in the main, original. ’
Party Politics, and controversial Theolor,,
far as possible, are jealously excluded. Thev **
sometimes so blended with discussions in lit * r *
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobject'
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of °\'
more valuable matter to which they adhere- 1
whenever that happens they are incidental, oup'
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only h' ’
cause it cannot well be severed from the suVl *
ore wherewith it is incorporated. 1 °
Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy the
due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s ai ”
that they should have a threefold tendency-!” 1
convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truth*
or interesting incidents as are embodied in tlf
works reviewed,—to direct the readers attention
to books that deserv e to be read and to w '
him against wasting time and money upon tint
large number, which merit only to be burned 1
this age of publications that by their variety and
multitude, distract and overwhelm!) every uncli!
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov

most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliary*

maybe regarded as forming th*> staple oftlie
work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough i s
published—sometimes of no mean strain— to man.
ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste
and talents of our country.
Tile times appear, for several reasons, to de
maud such a work—and not one alone, but many
The public mind is feverish and irritated still
from recent political 'strifes: The scift, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly
are rioting abroad :—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed-By ridicule, into their
fittiug haunts. Ignorance lords it over an m.
mens** proportion of our people Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse *he enlighten
ed, and to increase their number; so that the
great enemy of popular government inav no lor ’
ger brood, like a portentmus cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. \nd 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 ? ‘
The South peculiarly requires such an agent.
In all the Union, south of Washington, there are
but two Literary periodicals Northward of that
i city, there are probably at least twenty-five nr
thirty! Is this Contrast justified by the wealth
the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least’, an
equality with our brethren uH a domestic insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if we choose, tw ice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they Curry.
It was from a deep sense of this local want, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical : and not with any 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
oound endearingly together, forever, in the silken
bands of mutual kindness and affection* Ear
from meditating hostility to the north, he has al
ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to dm*,
much ot his choicest matter tlrrtice; and happy
indeed will lle'de'em himself, should his pages, by
making each region know the other better contn
bute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fra
ternal love.
CONDITIONS
1. Ihe Southern Literary 'M*?Gsi?hger is pub
lished in monthly numbers, of 64 large super
loyal octavo pages each, on thebegt of paper, ainl
neatly covered, at $5 a year—payable in advance
2. Or five new subscribers, by sending tlieii
names and at one time to the editor, will re
ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or
at §4 for each.
3. I lie risk of loss of payments for subscrip
trolls, which have been properly committed to the
mail, or to the hands of a post master, is assum
ed by the editor.
4. If a subscription is not ,dire'ct ! 'ed to be dis
continued before the first number of the next vol

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

5. The mutual obligations of the publisher and
subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon
as the first number of the volume is issued: and
after that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip

be discontinued for any earlier notice, while any
thing thereon remains due, unles t the option
of the Editor.
CARD.
To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger.
Ihe startling cost at w hich this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwaid
ness of many subscribers in fidfilling their pari of
our mutual compact, call indispensablv for an ap*
peal, not to their liberality— but to their justice.
If punctual payments are ever necessary,they at®
pre-eminently so in the ease of such a publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original —
and destitute of the 'vital aid w ldch 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 wellnigH prostrate banner of South*
ern Literature. Since if has now acquired claims
upon Southern Jt'STicfc—can it be, that thes are
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and let
them remember, that payment is due in advance ,
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mount*
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fa®
and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran
dum of each note sent.
