H AVING beard m iny complaints of tho want of a Newspaper in this town, (te be conducted in age .rlemanly like m-mner.) the undersigned have been induced bv the earnest solicitations of many friends, to em bark in tne undertaki i?. In assuming the duties consequent upon such an enterprise, we feel deeply conscious of the responsibility which will devolve up onus; and knowing, too, the diversity of the human mind, we cannot flatter ourselves that wc will be able to flkaxk all. Bui, so far as our humble abilities exten I, we will at all times be found strivins; to clevals the standard of truth amt connect; Moksl pbixcifi.es. It will be our object to ad vance ilie prosperity of the Eastern section of our .State, abounding, a« it does, in «o many natural advantages, and. as a necessa ry consequence, especially to prorrote the interest of our own town. V)ur aim will b to render our paper useful and valuable to all classes of the community—in short Lit erature, Useful Information, Agriculture. Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, will each receive a due portinn of our attention. In iegard to Politics, we deem it ncces sary to say, that we shall give the general Political intelligence of the whole country while, at the same tint", as conductors of a Free Press, we will fearlessly, and without favor or affection, advocate and support all such meamres as will, in our opinion, pro mote our general prospeiity as a people, and the perpetuity* of our rights and liberties. Our piper will be purely RepbbucaS, as practised by those great Apostles ot Liberty, JEFFERSON and MADlSON—prefering them as our guide, rather than the nkw- UOHT, SKLF-STILED Democratic Republi cans of the ptesent day. We are “strict constructionists’* of the Federal Compact, and shall, therefore, oppose all schemes ol 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 us, under that most plvusibUl and specious pretext, the “GENERAL WELFARE.” Believing, as we do, that it is the duty of every good citizen to cher ish with jealous care the “L'sion or the States, and the Sovereignty of the St ates,” and as this cannot be done without a strict adherence to the Constitution itself, we 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 ministration. to control, not only the mon ied facilities of the Government, but ol the entire country. With regard to the ques tion which is now agitating the country rela ilvelo the Currency, we now, unhesitating ly declare our hostility to the thrice-reje -*- e'd Sub-Treasury System, tending as it doe* in our opinion, to an increase of -Execut«v« power, which has already been claimed and exercised to an alarming extent, in more is* stances than one, if not by the present in cumbcnt, by his immediate predecessor, in whose “footsteps’ - lie is endeavoring to tread. We expect to encounter many perils, ma ny- adverse winds t vet aided by the strong breath of public favor and support, the trade winds.of utir world must waft its clear of oui troubles—we dare raise our anchor, unfurl our sheets, and venture boldly upon our new snd untried course. \V hat shoals and quiek aand«, what rocks and hidden perils await us “alas, we know not!” L**t ns but clear the h irbor and get fairlv “under way,” then we will fear nothing. Nor is this the vain boast made when danger is yet in the distance. It is our firm determination, made alter sp rions thought, and weighing well the diffi culties we are to meet with. The Chronicle will be issued as early as the necessary materials can he obtained from N«w York, which will be in Decem ber or early in January next. It will be printed on a large imperial sheet, contain ing twenty-four columns, with entire new ty pe, and wifi not be surpassed in beauty by any paper it t hf * Southern country. >l JACK HARDMAN, RICHARD RUE MOONEY. TERMS- Three Dollars per annum, payoMe invariably in advance- Irwioiou; Ala- Oct-10) 1839, PROSPECTUS OF THE T SOUTHERN LITERARY MiSSENRER. lILS is a monthly Mtgaziue, devoted chiefly to Literature, but occasiou ! ally finding room also for trticles tha fall j within the scope of Sclf.n<E ; and not pro • essing an entire disdain of msteful selections, ; though its matter -lias be/n, as it will cod i tinue to be, in the main, Original. Parly 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 s whenever that happens they are incidental, only, not pri’tuiry. They are dross, tolera ted onlv because it cannot well be severed from tire sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occtt |iy their due space in the work : and it is the Editor’s aim that they should have a three 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 bo read—and to warn him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which merit only to be burned. In this age of j>ubli'*ations that by their variety and tnultitnde, distract and o verwhelmn every undiscrimmating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Talks, having in view utility or amusement, or both; Historical sket ches — and Remi.nisences of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest^—may he regarded as forming the staple of th** work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish e.d—sometimes of no mean strain—to mail ifest and 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 manyt The public mind .s feverish and irritated still, from recent politii and strifes: The soft, assuasive influence of Lit erature is needed, to allay that (ever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and tally are rioting abroad :—They should be dtiven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an immense proportion of our peo pie:—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number , so that the great enemy ol popular government may uo longer brood, like a portentmus cloud, over the destinies of our country- Mid to accomplish ail these ends, what more powerful agent can be • nploved, titan a periodical on the plan of the 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, compared with those of the Northern ? No: for in wealth, talents and taste, wc may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren md a domestic institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, a'fords us, if we choose, 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 to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate suit posed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see the North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. lar from meditating hostility to the north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contribute in any es sential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace ol both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing the fifth volume. How far it has acted out the ideas here ut tered, is not for the Editor to say; he be lieves, however, that it falls not farther short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS. 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is published in monthly numbers, of 04 large superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year— payable in advance. 2.

Near ly all the publications which issue from # U are engaged to its political discus toui. and their columns tecin with accusa tions, denials, abuse, and everv other form ol wordy warfare—carried on in language frequently unlit for “ears polite,”and seldom suited to the delicacy and gentleness which belong so peculiarly to the Female clia-at - ter. ()f the few literary papers published South o. the I ait-mac, there is not one exclusive ly dedicated to the LADIES! We have tell .ms as a want which ought to be sup. plied; and we propose to make an clibrt to do so. confident that our cndenvors will he crowned with success, if we can only secure the hearty co-operation ol those tbr whose wHmre we are about to labor-The Ladies ol the South. And we expect, further, tHut every intelligent mind among the other sex whl view wun approbation, and aid in Biis la-m-.g, an enterprise designed to improve tlie inindsol those, without whose cheering smiles and soothing companionship, life would be dreary and this fair world a desert. We wish also to afford to the Ladies a field lor t e exercise of their own talents and lor lhedcvelopement of the resources of their minds.
