GRAHAM'S is the oldest and most
popular of the American Literary
Magazines. The number for January,
1846, will be the first of the twenty-eighth
Volume. Its long and uniformly success
ful career, from its commencement with a
few hundred subscribers, until the present
time, when it has a circulation exceeding
by some thousands all others, is perhaps
as god an evidence of its great and con
stantly increasing merit as the publishers
have it in their power to offer. To its
old subscribers, they trust, no asurances
are necessary of their determination to
maintain its present ascendency over all
"the rival periodicals of the country.. The
engagement of such men as Bryant, Long
fellow, Cooper, Dana, Hojfinan, Mannrr
and others, of high reputation in
.the lite
rary world, as regular contributors, in ad
dition to a list embracing many of the first
names in the nation, is a sufficient guaran
tee that the work will cAnthme to be the
principal medium of communication be
tween the best authors and the public.—

OUR ELEGANT PARIS FASHION PLATES
The splendid - fashion with which.
we shall adorn each number of "Graham"
for 1846, have already awakened the jeal
ousy of our cotemporaries, and they show
their annoyance by' all manner of torture
of the word "rAnts. ' It seems to be both
a charm and a bane to' them. We have
only to, say that our December number
contains a specimen of what "Our Paris
Fashions" are and will be, aiid we must
trust the eyes of the public to, detect the
superior value of these, "designed, engra
ved,printed and colored at the herd-quar
ters of the fashionable world," over the
vapid imitations, which 'are got up here at
least sixty days old, and' palmed off as cor
reet. In January,' we shall have a most
elegant • style of cloak patterns, and as it
will be issued .early, say by December
'loth, we advise our fair readers not to
spoil their material by following the blind
guides of last year, but to Anarr TILE
TRUE FASHIONS FOR 1846.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS..
In the department of Engravings, it is
well known that-GaAnAm's MAGAZINE has
far, surpassed any periodical work ever
"published in this or any oilier country.—
The highest ambition of rival publishers
seems thus far to have been to maintain a
respectable imitation of the numerous cost
ly and beautiful worki of art with WhiCh
the successive numbers of this journal
have been graced. In the course of the
succeeding volumes many IMPORTANT NEW
FEATURES will be introduced.. Sartain,
tliC most celebrated MEZZOTINT ENGRAVER

productions ; and Rawdon, Might 4•

OUR REVIEW DEPA 111')1 EYE
Will continue to embrace mites on current
literature, etc., and reviews of all new A
merican and foreign works of general inte

the $lOOO, for which hewill.have to pay $2
for rive years, and $1 50 for survey and policy, •
and no more unless loss be sustained to a greater
amount than the funds on hand .will cover, and
then no room will be required, than 4 pro rata t ,

papers, in favor of its utility, and warmly
approved of the doctrines thus laid down.

PEACE OR WAR

to mystify the Oregon question, thus concludes its

Which we have'arrived.at, from evidence
Which we , .deem satisfactory, .that•War,.as

sufficient compensation for the 'trouble we
have taken : •
“Unquestionaky peace is desirable to

The lffst• Cabinet Council of .which • we
have accounts, was held at the residence
