If his so long been the custom of persons
announcing their design to establish a

princ ~ies which they intend to maintain, that
a departure in the present iustance would
hardly be pardoned. The people have un
questionably the rlghs to be informed, what

of its propriety, and afterwards if there
should be a deviation from the same. We
would therefore brieffly state that our ob
ject is to advocate and support to the extent
ot our ability, the docrnies prniessed and
pr tetised by the Uu on Party of our State,
bebeveing them to ne essential to the prose

jfp IE success which has attended the pub-
JL lication of the best Magazines from
the English l’ress. has led to preparations
for itsuing a periodical more particularly
adapted to the w ants and taste of the Amer
ican public—while it will be the object of
the proprietors to make the work strictly
wha* its title indicates, it will nevertheless
contan all articles of interest to its patrons
which appear in Foreign Magazines.
Extensive preparations have been enter
ed it to, both with artists and authors, to fur
nish from all parts of the Union, drawings
and illustrations of every subject of interest,
which the yultlisliers confidently believe
will enable them to issue a work honorable
to its title, and teceptable to the American
people.
The first number of the American Maga
zine, illustrated with about twenty spendid
engravings, will appear on or before the
first of September, and be continued month
ly, containing between 40 and 50 imperial
octavo pages, anc be furnished at the low
price of two dollar; per annum. It willcom
prise—
Portraits and Biographical Sketches of dis
tinguished Americans, Views of Public Boil
ding, Monuments and Improvements, Land
scape Scenery—the boundless variety and
beauty w hich, in this country, will form an
unceasing source of instruction and gratifi
cation, engravings, ami descriptions of the
character, habits, &c. of Beasts, Birds, Fish
es and Insects together with every subject
connected with the Geography, History, Na
tural and Artificial recources of the country
illustrated in afamilliar and popular manner.

OF THE
MEDICAL PHYSICAL SCIENCES,
IV LIEU OF THE
u Georgia .Medical Reporter .”
BV JOHN G. SLAPPEY, M. D.
What we should seek in the sciences is truth,
and truth is in the facts.— Broussias.
\ fORB than a vear has elapsed since we
I*l, published u Prospectus for the “Geor
gia Medical Reporter,” and the work has
not yet made its appearance.
Without attempting any apology to the
medical public, and others of the literati who
might have felt an Interest in the forthcom
ing of such a work, we will only say that the
cause of the failure, or delay of its intended
publication, was for want of sufficient pat
ronage to “au'borize the undertaking,”
We have, however, determined to make
one more effort, and appeal for the lasttime
to the feeling of an intelligent liberal South
ern community, who, we still confidently be
ieve, will not stand by indifferently, care
esslv and idly, and see the design and en
lerorize languish and die, in its very con
ieption and inception, and that, too, merely
or the want ofa small patronage.
Political and party newspapers, that are
calculated to inflame the pashions, and dis
tract the mind, are often gotten up in the
day, and are not only handsomely, but are
j liberality supported. But now for the first
time, when an attempt is made for the pub
lication ofa useful and scientific journal, one
winch, we trust, may carry healing underits
wings, and health in its flight—addressing
its di to the real misery of man to his diseases
—lies hushed and slumbers in silence amindst
his almost total unconcernedness.
Remember that Dr. Antony, Augusta; Ors.
Baber and Lamar Macon; Drs. German, Boy
kin, Fort and White, Mdledgeville; Dr. Phil
ips, Powelton, Dr. Gorman, Forsyth, Dr.
Reese, Monticello, Dr. Garvin, Waynesboro’,
Doctor Haynes, Sparty, Dr. Iloxey, late of
Eatonton, now of Columbus, Dr. Jones, of
Randolph Dr. Persons, of Warrenton, late of
Macon, Dr Robertson, .Augusta, and many
others of high standing in the profession, are
engaged as contributors in the work. Be
sides, we intend making selections and ex
tracts from the American, English and
French Medical nd Surgical Journals.
Such gentlemen as hat e not addressed us
already, and as jtre interested in the more
effectual execution and speedy commence
ment pt the contemplated undertaking, will
please address us at once, at Tarversviile,

The work will be issued from the press,

THE NE W YORKER.
UNDER this title, anew Literary Journal
of the largest imperial size, was issued
by the subscribers on Saturday the 22d of
March last. Its leading features are as fol
lows :
“ The New Yorker” is equal in size and
execution to any of the Literary weeklies of!
this city, and at the same time afforded at a j
much lower rate than the cheapest of them |
It will combine more completely than any ofj
its immediate rivals the distinguishing char-!
acteristicts of a literary Journal with those |
ofa regular and systematic chronicle of pass
ing events. In short, it is designed to com
mend itself as a general newspaper, alike
acceptable to the lover of literature, the de
votee of business, and the gleaner of intelii
gence., , it will contain—
I. Literature of the Day—embracing Re- j
views of New Publications, Original Tales, j
Essays, Poems, &c. with selections from the |
whole range of English and American peri ‘
odical literature.
2. General Intelligence—comprising the ;
current news of the Cay, foreign and domes- j
tic, whether civil or political—carefully j
avoiding, however, the least semblvnce of
partizan bias in politics, and confined strictly
to the representation of a general and im
partial acco tut of the movements of all par
whatever, without discrimination and with
out the exhbition of personal preference.
Should tl;eir journal receive the approba
tion and the support of the public, the un-1
dersigned pledge themselves to spare neitli- 1
er exertions nor expense to rentier its liter- i
ary character and general interest at least 1
equal to its cotemporaries j and, whatever \
may be the measure of ‘heir encouragement, j
they confidentially assert that it shall be ex- j
celled by few in quantitp of matter, or in
the variety and originality of its contents.
