In assutnin* the duties consequent upon such an enterprizc, we feel deeply conscious of the responsibility which will devolve up on ns; and knowing, too, the diversity of iiie human mind, we cannot flatter ourselves that we will t o nblw to please all. But, ■a, (\,r as our humble abilities extend, we will at all times be found striving to elevate the standard of TROTtr and coruecy moral paivctPLKs. It will be our object to ad caoee the prosperity of the Eastern s-ction of our State, abounding, as it does, in so ,uany natural advantnges, and, as a necessa rv consequence, especially to promote the intarrst of our own town. Our aim will be to render our paper useful and valuable to ail classes of the community—i l short Lit erat ;rc, Useful .Information, Agriculture, Foici uiaudD • u -stic Intelligence, will each reef.,vc a !ue ; r i >:i of our attention. Is :egard to Politics, we deem it neecs sary to say, that we shall give the general Political intelligence of the whole country, while, at the same ti n’', as conductors of a Fn t; Pukss e will fearlessly, and without avnr or ati’> a, ad cate and support all -mm measure-- as will, in our opinion, pro mote our general prosperity as a people, and tii- perpetuity of our rights and liberties.

We ate “strict constructionists” ot the 1’ cderal Compact, .m l shall, therefore, oppose all schemes of Internal Improvement, except by the States themselves, as a part of that “American System” which has proved so ruinous to the South, and which was attempted to be fas tened upon ns, under that most plausible and specious pretext, the ,“GENER \L WELFARE.’’ Believing, as we do, that it is the duty of every good citizen to cher ish with jealous car'- the “Union or the States, and the Sovebeio.ntv ok the States," and as this cannot be done without a strict adherence to the Constitution itself, wc shall not be sparing in our denunciations of the attempts which are and have been made by the late as well as the present Ad mini'!ration, to control, not only the mon ied facilities of the Government, but ot the entire country. W.th regard to the ques tion which is now agitating the country rela tjvto the Currency, vve no-.v, unhesitating ly declare our hostility to the thrice-rej"-- ed Sub-Treasury System, tending as it doexs in our opinion, to an increase of Execuri®" power, which has already been claimed ovd exercised to an alarming extent, in more i*. stances than one, if not by the present n ciiiiibcnt, by his immediate predecessor, in whose “footsteps” he is endeavoring to tread. We expect to enconnter many perils, ma ny adverse winds ; y.-t titled by the strong breatii of public favor «i» 5 support, the trad; wiuds of our world must wait usclearofour 'roubles—we dare raise our anchor, unfurl our sheets, and venture boldly upon our new s .„l untried course. What shoals and qnick aattds, what rocks and hidden perils await us “alas, we know not!” Lit us but dear the harbor and get fairlv “under way,’ then ws w ill fear nothing. Nor is this the vain bo tsi made when danger is yet in the distance. It is our firm determination, made after se rious thought, anil weighing well the diffi culties we are to meet with.

RI Cl H A R D KC E M OONE Y. TERMS.—Three Dollars per annum, payable invariably in advance • Irwiuton, Ala. Oct. 10,1839, PROSPECTUS or THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. T JIIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha fall within the scope of Science ; and not pro eusing an entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will con tinue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial Theol ogy, as far as possible, are jealously exclu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere: bu» whenever that happens they tire incidental, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted oiilv because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, oecu py their due space in the work : and it is the Editor’s aim that they should have a throe fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting in cidents as are embodied in the works re viewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to warn him against wasting time and money upon thai large number, which merit only to be burned. In this age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract and o verwhehnn every undiscrimiuating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of tlie most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate, Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both ; Historical skkt cues—and Reminisences of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of th-' work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of no moan strain—to man ifest arid to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and not one alone, but mnnyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from re <nt political strifes: The soft, assuasive influence ol Lit erature is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and lolly arc rioting abroad :—They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an Immense proportion ol our peo pie:—Every spring should lie set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase tlipir number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. Vnd to accomplish nil these ends, what more powerful agent can be employed, than a periodical on the plan „f tl,o Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there are but two-Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this con trast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste of the Southern people, compare i with those of the Northern ? No : for in wealth, talents and taste, we may justly claim, at ! eist, an eipiality with our brethren md a estic institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, affords us, if we clmose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want that the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design lo nourish local prejudices, or to advocate sup posed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to sec the North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands ol mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to the north, he has al ready drawn, and lie hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; an<l happy indeed will he dc’tn himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contribute in any os se-itial degree todispcl the low. . ittg clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has new been inexistence lour yearn—the pro sent No commencing the kikth volume. How far it lias acted out the ideas here ut tored, is not for the Editor to say; he be lieves. however, that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of lheory.
