T [IL Subscriber, in proposing the re-es tablistiment of the Southern Revi. w, deems it unuecessaiy to refer to the' history e that work, which is alread in tioe possession ot the public, or to dwell on the high estimation in which it was held both at home and abroad du ring the period of its continuance. Sufice i to say, that its career, thouigh brief, was, ats all aditiit, brilliant-creditable to the South and to the wtuole American Union. Its failire-the subject of universal regret-was owing, it is well known. not to a destitution of talent and public spirit, but arose 1st, from its limited cir culationa, which was by no means adequate to sustain a work of such Magnitude, and 2ndly. from the political differenceswtich agitated the counttry about the time of its discontiuance, dividing the friends of Southern Literature in to two great parties. and preventing that har niony of opinion and co-operation in the dis. cussion of leading'questions. which is desirnble in a-work professedly devoted to the cause of the Sunth and the whole South. It is proper to consider first, the utilit% of' Reviews, regarded as organs of the literary spi. rit and opinions or the age, and s- ondly, the importance and ntecessity of establishing such a-work at the Sou-h. at the present time. On the first point, it is scarcely ticcessary to sai much, in the present advancied stage of period. ical literature. Ably conducted Reviews are the offspring of a high state of civilization. and are the best evidence, now-a-days., that catn be furnished of intellectual advancement. and the prevalence of a pure and elevated philosophy The lrst half century has produced few un thors of eminence. either in Great Britain ar America, in comparison with the half c it111 that preceded it. and the reasoa probably is, tnot that there has been a want of zenim. talent and scholarship inthisconfessedly intelle'taul age but simply because distigtiisihed scho'ars i.-t' e found a 'readier and a bet:er orarn throtiah which to act directly on the public mtind in Re views, than throtugh the mnediumi of bookis-the old, more tediotis and more expensive miethod. If thprefore, it be asked, what evide'nce is or can be furnished of the smperior inteltigence and progress of tho present century-a pro gress of which we are so apt to bast-the re ply is that it is to he founid in the high character of' the Q-uarterly Reviews abroad and at hotie. If it be affirmed, that we have no native lieta ture in this country, and therefore no materials to furnish the vround work 'or Reviews. the ani swer is, that our Reviews constitute our native literature, and that if learning and scholarship are sought for, they are to be found in our Re v'iews, whic'h therefore should he wartmly aind firmly supported, as an evidence, and a fair' otne, of our literary pretensions and our national character. Besides, nto otte catuse. it may he safelv atfirmoed, has cotntributted so much to eli cit talent, to awakena literary ambmition, nund to produce time hiighe'st ordtes of' flne andi pmowerfitl writing, as the establishment of R(.vi wvs; and iimny individuals have been stimulated to ex traordinary etforts. and have beeni suibsequenttly known far and wvide to famne, ini consehmence of the opportunities they htave' enjoyed and inimro v'ed, of' conitribuiting sucucessfully to works of so inflatetntial and highly respectable a chtaractet individuals, who, otiherwise, in all probaability. wouild never leave hbeen tempted to test their stre'ngth on the litetrarv arena with stuch comnpet itors as they would be' likely to meet there. Thte great aim of Reviews is. to disetnss sub jects learnedly,,thoroughly,profonindhy-inl such a mnantieras to bear upon the whole social sys tenm. and pro.:nuce a broad. deep and piermanentf implression uponi the general c'haracter of'a peo. pie: In onte word, their object is to difi'use knowledge. not to foeter prejudices-to create. 'direct and control-aot to echo opinions-toi 'promduce beneficial chngnes up~on a large scale -not to perpetuate oryevene tolerate existing a huses. It is obvious, therefore, that while, in the infancy of Amnericani literature. a spirit ouf indulgenice has beetn felt and extetndmd to tire faults of our lighter periodicals, which are rap. idly issued from tihe press, aind wvhich. have seu've'd as- vehicles often for the.rattempts of the mere literary de'buttant, Qu arterly Reviews, hiaving higher aims to accomptlisha, and intend -itng to represent and embody, inm thie most pow erfuli and attractive form, the opinions only of the most entlightened rmids shmorld be con dutrted with a scripnionis regard to the prre'st piinciples of tasste, agd to the el'evation rand rid. v'anc'ement of our literary atnd nrational char acter'. In respect to the iniportancee and ne'cessity, of estabishinmg snch a work at th- Sotuth ait the present time. there can he little doubt in the mninds of our discerning and public spiritedi citizens. We must have such a woark. or roull beiid the spirit of the aige. which is of a lpre' etninently itiqnisitive and cnterprisinr' charaic ter. rind the Soumth should have sutch a wor k,mamt otnly from moie oh'iterarv pride antd eno''a tiemn, itt order to keel) pamct- wit'- the respectamble .'.l..,ne. of'the other widjeh. intlligent. and~ thr. vng sections ofthe American repulic, but also becausm- the South has. a. uwe preset t period es pecially, certain great and leading iit, tests of its owin to promote, n hich can be most ettectu ally siibserved through the .instruimentlit) of such a periodical. It is not necessar. to raise the war cry against other portion:. ot the Umoii who may feel disposed, as they often do, to dil fer from is in their vieu s of ouir agricultural, cominercial and pio.itical intirests. but it is imii portait, higisy so, that we souli take our somtern position firmly in the preseit attitude ol -ur nanonai atiitirs; that our position should he clearl% known aid understood, both it hionieI aid abroad; that we smi.d be ready to defeni ourselvesanid our institutions fron all covert or opein usaults; that we should mintain the prm ciples ofl the Federal Con.,t-intim. in its oriinm al intention, with ; firm aid unflinching .pirit, and pionote the cause (11 a pure and elevated literature by all the induceiuentis that can be held out to stimulate the ambition and pride of intelligent and chivalric peopie. Propositions iave been4 frequeittly made here tofore for the revival of the Southern Rteview, which unfortunately have not been crowneii with the success that wa. hoped or anticii.ahel for them. Different causes have beeii as'im d for the fitiiure of these pro ects. but the l-ading one mioubtedly is, the neglecting to avat. our selves of a ver% avorabl- sta.e of the public f'eeIing by foliwiing op well digested plans with vigoronus and concerted action. We have sat siih-toldeni our haads ai.i ciosed our eyes, and then nave complained of universal apathy. It is believed, that at th. present mioment,a %e'(y deep, general and earnest dezire pervairs the Southern community. or at aiv rate. the most itifluential portion of it, to a e-estaulish and p-ace na permancnt foundation, a -.nmarteriy Review of the highest order. 1i'the subscriber can en list this feeling in his behalf, lie will have ren son to anitic:pate the most flattering success otherwise his ed'irts wil be vani. It is proposed thai each numnber of the con emplated work shah contait at wast two hunti ired and fifly . ctavo pages of'original mauter. printed in the beststyie oh the Americain pres:. Twenty-tiv- hundred or three thonsani sub. scribers at five dollars annually, the money be ing paid. would yield an uniount stfiicient to establish di- work, and afford a handsome re muneration to writers finr literary labor. A strong appeal is made to the iblic spirited citizen.- of the Sothi. and also orth-- West and South West, already united to us by strong ties in a commercial and agricuiltural point of view -in behalf of the proposed work.
