Leavenworth, Oct'. 11, 1838. 22 PHOSl'ECTl'S OF THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE AND REPUBLICAN REVIEW. II. J. BRENT, ESQ., EDITOR. ripiIE National Magazine & Republican Review will be published in the city of VV ashington, District ot Loiiimbia, on the ! first of January next, and delivered monthly :in all parts of the of the United States, devoted exclusively to the advancement of 'the Whig party, and the eucourag -meat of Literature and Science. The experience of the p.ist year has confirmed in the minds of the more reflecting and sagacious of the Whig party that a varum exists in the periodical press of the country, in which should be combined the productions of our great statesmen on liter ary and scientific subjects, and those of the eminent literary geniuses of which the Uni ted 5tates can boast so ample a share, on tne various suojects that present themselves to a sound and vigorous intellect. It cannot be doubted that the present crisis demands the publication of a work calcula ted to infuse and circulate true and honest political information, and to counteract the direful influence exerted bv a monthly peri odical of similar nature published in this city, under the auspices, and bearing the name of the self-styled Democracy of the present day, advocating measures which, if successful, are destined to moulder to ruins the fabric of our notable Constitution, bv placing constructions on it to suit the caprici and advance the reaching.? of a corrupt ambition. The Union of such principles with a gen eral literature as have insulted the common sense and honesty of our country, by proclaiming the "Martyrdom of Cilley," rendered in a manner more detestable from the insiduous way in which they are combined, tends directly to the disorganization of all that, as Americans, should be held most sacred. This combination is calculated to secure them a circulation in quarters to which they might not otherwise penetrate, as well as from a certain deceptive air of high toned philosophy and expansive liberality oil views, with which they are artfully able to invcut themselves, for the purpose of stealing their way into the heads through the unsuspecting hearts of that class on which depends the destiny and hopes of the nation its young men. Whilst the more experienced sagacity of older heads can never hesitate a moment in recognising the real naked deformity of these principles of modern Radicalism, under all the fair seeming disguises they may assume, yet to the young they are replete with a subtle danger of the most pernicious character. 'I he. National Magazine and Republican Review is designed nitf? will be londncted

with these nnd other highiniportar.it considerations in view, calculated to correct mis-

constructions, and to incuh-ate the correct political piinci-ph-s on which are based the views and practice of the great Republican nig party, as well as lor the encouragement and maintenance of genuine polite literature. The publishers will neither spare expense in the mechanical department of the work, nor their utmost efforts to render th Review use ful to the puhlie in a literary point of view, and honorable to the country and cause winch it is i.estiued to espouse as a National work. The period is fast arriving when the country will emerge from the dominion of a party which has come into power under the corrupt motto of office-seekers, l'to the rictcrs belong the spoils of the vanquished;" being alike anti-republican, unconstitutional, and a foul stain upon the free institutions of the country, that can only be eradicated by the triumph of the principles which govern the Republican Whig party of the present day. The advocates of the principles alluded to, who have stood foremost in defence of the e,...i;.i;.. ...i t .1.... .. .. ,- . . ... , diminutive as a party could be, exerting tho , ,, ... , B. strength of a Ijcontdas battling with the. host ,. , , . , , . ot Aerxes, and have nearly succeeded in - , . rescuing the Government from the grasp of :- .,, , ...... B '. duty to continue their efl'orts. and it cannot better be done than by supporting a jKriudical of high st mding fur sound political principles and literary worth.; and such a one will be found in the national Magazine and fJet.nhli can Review. Phe sucet hs of the Magazine will there fore depend, in a measure, on the great body of the opponents of the present Administration, whose interest it will be to aid its permanent establishment. And it w ill bo equel'y binding on the talented and patriotic baed of leading Whigs to spare neither timt; nor labor to the explanation and advocacy of the true and only principles on which the Government can prosper, and on t lie success of which depends the great experhnei.t of B e p 1 1 b 1 i c an (. o v c r n n ie nt. Having made these few remarks on tho political cast of ihe publication, we feel confident that its utility will be readily perceived by the public, and fully appreciated, la addition to the political features, the following will be the principal subjects on which the Review will treat, from the pens of most celebrated writ s of the present day Review and Ckitical Notices will occupy a portion of its -ages, then by giing praise to genius, and censure to such productions only as are riely deserving of it. A S.vetcu or the Puoceiii-ings of Con;i;ess will be given at the close of each session, in which will be explained the cause and effect of all prominent acts and ijR?as--ures, compiled by a gentleman of acknowledged ability and opportunity to arrange and collect such matters as wid prove Loth interesting ami instructive. Election Returns will be given in a tabular form, embracing all elections ef importance in the various States, as i ar'v as practicable after the reception of official returns.Es.savs and Tales will also form an imort:iiit part of the work, and all original articles of this character w ill receive prompt attention. The object of the publishers. next to enhancing tho good cause in which they have en. barked, w ill be to furnish the reader with such matters :.s will both instruct and amuse: such as Sketches and Reminiscences cf events too minute for history; Biographical anu Historical Sketches of distinguished personages, Src. Original Poetuv will be sprinkled through its pages. Engkavings of DistinuisiiekSta" Esr.irx. - If the work should receive t he s;mc encouragement as is ustualiy extended to peri odicals ol a literary and scientific character, the subscribers to the Review w ill not only find their numbers embellished with these desirable plates, but also with many other valuable improvements. t n k M s . The National Magazine and Rtjvllican Review will be published in monthly numbers of eighty octavo pages each, on fine pap ir, with new and handsome tvpe, aril fr the most approved mechanical and typographical appearance, at the moderate pricoof Five Dollars a year, payable in all rases in advance, or on the delivery c;f the third number without respect to persons. Any person forwarding ten rcspectablo subscribers, and becoming responsible- for the amount of their subscriptions for the first year, shall receive a copy gratis as long aa they may continue subscribers. The publishers will be responsible for all moneys forwarded by mail, in case cf miscarriage, provided the ceitificate vi' U.oPostmaster shall be secured, and copies for va rded accord i ugly. If a subscriber thai I not order Lis sub script ion to be discontinued at the expiration of the year, lie shall be considered as w ishing the Review continued, which shall be forwarded, and the sul scviption money ?xiected on the receipt ef the third number as in the first instance. No subscription taken for a lers term than one year. All commuiiieatioPs, po5,t paid, addressed to the publishers at their residence, Georgetown, D.
