NOT from the lack of Newspapers in the Palmetto-State, nor from their want ot ability?for we feel proud to know that the Frees of South Carolina will compare favorably with that of any State in the Union?are we induced to anticipate the success of the Illustrated Family Friend. But, whilst cheerfuliy acknowledging the marked and unmistakeable talent displayed in the management of our cotemporaries, and cordially wishing them a full support and g? nerous patronage, we yet think tltere is an ample field, now iiii occupied, for the growth and expansion of ihe paper which it will be our endeavor to make, not only nominally the Family Friend, but really and sincerely the Friend?leal, loyal an . true ?ol every family in the State. The fierce and fiery discussion of party politics, the useful, but dry records of commerce and traffic, as leading features, we will .eave for the pens now ro active and eloquent in their service ; and i whilst we will give lo both subjects, as much sp-.ce as will be desirable to the general reader, our greatest object ar.d principal aim will be, the evolvement, elucidation and exaltation, of tht Pure, the Beautiful, the Useful and instructive, in the paths of Morality, Virtue, Literature, Science, Art and Agriculture. The Id> al being more easily comprehended and more captivating, when combined in some degree with the Material?we will bring the Artist's skillful hand into requisition to illustrate the mind's conceptions, and to render the Family Friend as nearly perfect as it is possible to make a physical means adapted to a mental end In every number, . therefore, we will give, in addition to a large amount of original reading matter from the pens of WRITERS OF ACKNOWLEDGED POWER AND GENIUS, at least FOUR HANDSOME, PER'/IXEfiT, it A.VIt ELEUASTI.

To effect ends so desi- ; rable, what means can be imagined more liheiy ! to prove efficacious, than would familiarity won j the painful struggles undergone, the privations j borne, the difficulties overcome, by men now living, who have di-tinguished themselves, eiti er as Scholars, Statesmen, Politicians, Jurists, Physicians, Divines, Authors, Artists, Merchants, .Mechanics, Military men, or Agriculturists. Consequently, as a new, and we think very valuable feature, we will give IN EVERY ISSUE. A CORRECT LIKENESS OF SOME PROMINENT SOUTH CAROLINIAN, WITH AN AUTHENTIC BlOGKAPHICALSKETCH. These are brief, very brief Inn's, at the intentions and purposes of the Illustrated Family Friend?the narrow limits of a Prospectus will not permit us to make them more lull; but scant as they are, we trust they are ample enough, to conceive every candid and intelligent person, that though we intend not to boast, we design puplish- ; ing a paper that will be worthy a liberal support.
