CRAWFOIIDSSVILLK RECORD.

TO THE FRIENDS OF WESTERN LITERATURE. The differences which have, for some time past, subsisted between the Editor of the Western Monthly Magazine, and its late Publisher, Mr. Eli Taylor, can no longer interfere with the regular publication of the work. The first number of the fifth volume, considerably improved in paper and execution, will be issued in a few days; the February number will be immediately put in hand, and the undersigned hope to have the third number ready for delivery on the first of

March, and to issue the successive numbers punctually on the first day of each month. This periodical has been in existence five years, and its devotion to the interest of the West, and to the cultivation of literature throughout the Great Valley, have met with sufficient success to stimulate the Editor to renewed exertions, and the new Publishers to a full determination that no circumstances within their control, shall interfere with its extensive circulation. The undersigned have taken upon themselves the responsibility of publishing the work under disadvantages quite unforeseen when it was first introduced to their notice.--Mr. Eli Taylor, the late Publisher, has tho't proper to withhold the names of half the regular subscribers, which deprives the new Publishers of the power of circulating the forthcorning number as extensively as they at first expected. They have, however, sufficient confidence in the spirit and liberality of the friends of Western Literature, to induce them to publish a sufficiently large edition to supply all the demands of the full list of subscribers; and they have to request, that all to whom the forthcoming number may not be sent, will be kind enough to consider the omission as unavoidable, and to send in their names to the Publishers.
