PROSPECTUS
or THE
AND
Democratic Review.
N the firft of July, 1837, wil) bo published at
Washincton. District nf (:li,:.
crcd hlmultincously in the princrjile eitit'of the X.
nitcd fetates, ti new Monthly Mngaiinc, tinder thd
aboyo title, devoted to tho principles of the Demo
cratic party. ,
It has bceti apparent lo many of the rcflectini?
mcinbcrB of tho Democratic party of tho I'nitc'd
States, that a periodical for the advocacy and dififu
sion of their political principles, similar to thoe in
such octivo and influential operation in England, is
a desideratum, which it was very important to sup
plya periodical which should unite with the at
tractions of a sound and vigorous literature, a po
litical character capable of giving efficient support
to the doctrines and measures of that party, now
maintained by a large majority of the people. Dis
cussing the great questions of policy before tho
country, expending and advocating tho Democratic
doctrine through the most able pens that that party
can furhish, in articles of ercater Icnoib. mr,
I denied force, more elaborate research, and more ele;
i vated tone than is possible for the news-paper press,
I a "iSMinc- Of this character becomes an instrument
of mappreciablo value" fdr the enlmblnnmT, j
formation df public opinion, end fur the support of
the principles which it advocates. Bythcso means,
by thus explaining and defending the measures of
the great Democratic party, and by always furnish
ing to the public a clear and powerful commentary
upon those complex questions of policy and party
which so frequently distract the country, and upoil
which, imperfectly understood as they often are by
friends, and misrepresented and distorted as they
never fail to bo by political opponents, it is of tho
utmost importance that the public should be fully
and rightfully informed, it is hoped the" periodical in
question may lie made to t xert a beneficial,' ration
al, and lasting influence on the public mind
Cthcr considerations, which cahnot be loo highly
appreciated, will render the establishment and suc
cess of tho proposed Magazine of very great impor
tance. In the mighty struggle of antagonist principles
which i3 now going on in society tho Dcmbcratic
Parly of tho United States stands committed to tho
World as tbc depository and cxcmDlar of thosn
cardinal doctrines of political faith with which tho
can:e the 1'cnple in every age and country is i
dentified. Chiefly from the want of a convenient
means ot concentrating the intellectual energies of
its disciples, this party has hitherto been almost
wholly unrepresented in the republic of letters, whilo
the views and policy of its opposing creeds aro daily
advocated, by tlie ablest and most commanding cf
f iris of genius and learning.
In the United Slates Mogasine the ntlcmpt will
be made to remov e this rcproa.-h.
The present is the time peculiarly appropriate for
the commencement of 6uch an undertaking; Tho
Democratic body of the Union, after a conflict whicli
tested to the ntlt-tmbit its stability and its principles;
have fcucccedcd in retaining possession of the execu
tive administration of thecountry. In tlio consc"
quent comparative repose from political strife, the pc
nod is suspicious fororganizing and calling to its aid
a new and powerfully ally of this character, intcrfc-
niigwitlinoncco-c'peraiingwilh all,
rcn
VjtO-oruinain -num. t uuv
luorit, In ai urarii point ot view,
Honorable to tho
country, and fit to copo in rigor of rivalry with its
Lnropcan competitors. Viewing the Lmglisli lan
guage as tho noble heritage and common birtjiright
of all who speak tltc tongue of Milton and Shakes
pear, it will be the uniform object ofits conductors to'
present only the finest productions in the various
branches of literature, that can be procured; and to
diffuse the benefit of correct modeh oftasto and wor
thy execution. .
In this department cxclusivcness of party, whicli
is inseparable from thopoliucal department of such d
work, will have no place. Hero wc all stand on a
neutral ground of equality and reciprocity, where
those universal principles of taste to whicli we are all
alike subject will alone ba recognised as the compoii
law. Our political principles cannot be compromised,
but our common literature, it will bo our prido to
cherish and extend, with a liberality of feeling an bl
assed bv partial or minor ievs.
Astfio I'nited States Magazine is founded on tho
broadest bais which tlie means a'nd influence of tlio
Democratic party in the United States Can present,
it is intended to render it in every respect a thorough
ly National Work, not merely designed for ephem
eral interest and attraction, but to continue of perma
nent historical value. With this view a considera
ble portion of each number will be appropriated to
