ITS AIM WILL TIF.
FiasTi In Literature, to leave no pronce
unrepresented, n (lint while each i umber will
contain articles of in abstract and p. rmanent
value, it will also he found that lbs healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment In Its
various form, of Narrative, Wit, and Humor,
will not (to uncared for. The. publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writer will re
eelve" the moat solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pace of the
Atlastic, they will not heaitite to draw
from the foreign erources at their command
as occasion may require, reiving rather on the
competency of an author to treat a particular
subject, than on any other claim whatever.
In this way they hop to make the Ir Periodi
cal welcome wlierever the Kiigllah tongue is
spoken or read.
SrrnNo In the term Art they Intend to In
cluds the whole domain of aestheitia, and
hope gradually to make this critical dedart
men a true and fearles representative of Art
In all its various branches, without any regard
to prejudice, whether personal or national, or
t private considerations of what kind soever,
THinnt In politics, the Atlantic will he
the organ of no party clique, but will honestly
endeavor to be the exponent of what Its con
ductors believe to be the American Idea It
will deal frankly with persons and wi.h part
ies, endeavorsnirtokeep in view that moral el
ement which transcends all persons anJ par
ties and which alone makes the basis of a
true and tasting national prosperity. It will
not rank Itself with any sect of a'ntik.s, but
wlti that body of men which are In favor of
Freedom, National Progress, and Honor,
whether public or private.
As an earnest of the material at their com
n ind, they subjoin the following list of litera
ry persons interested in their enterprise ; wish
In; It however to be distinctly understood,
Hint ther shall hope for support from every
klid nfabillity which desires the avenue of
th"lr columns, and in the remuneration of
which they shall be guided purely by their
sense of Intrinsic merit : -
