It is a fact which will be confirmed by the observation of every man , that the expressed opinion of the day , as set forth in public discussion , in journals , or fn books , does not represent the actual _opiniontof the day as it exists in the convictions of the most elevated the most active , and boldest intellects . The truly pregnant portion is suppressed in deference to some political expediency , social routine , or mercenary prejudice . Before it attains expression opinion is bated down to an average ; and thus the country is debarred from enjoying the full force of the influences growing within it . To take the lead in opening the issue , by offering a free utterance to the most advanced opinions , is the object of Tub Leader . The specific principles which will guide the writers in political affairs will accord with that main principle . Freed from the necessity to clip our words , or clothe our meaning in occult language , we shall endeavour to go straight to the heart of every public question , to deal with its substance , to declare our con- viction in plain and _unmistakeable terms , and to seek for our opinion the suffrages of the People . We hold that such a course can be maintained in a spirit to win the confidence of aU classes . As our convictions wil begiven in a positive rather than a nega- live form , so we shall _pioceed by constructive rather than de- tfructive methods ; I ess striving to destroy the works which the past has built up for us than to develope the influences which will build up the institutions of the future . Revolutions are the violent rents made in the artificial crust of society by the unrecognised institutions growing beneath : it is only by thorough freedom for the inherent powers of a country that it can proceed from a glorious Past , through a tranquil but _energetic Present , to a more glorious Future . It is the perception of that truth which reconciles a conservative and reverential care for the achievements of the Past with a hopeful and vigorous working for the Future . We will apply these principles to every _mstitu- tion a-d every class . In Home Politics , while pointing out the services by which the heirs of ancient honours and of wealth inay regain the goodwill of their countrymen we shall stand up for the _rijrht of the whole People to a voice in the laws by which they are governed , and therefore to Universal Suffrage , with its accompanying reforms of shortened parliaments and protected _voting ; to the means of securing a knowledge of those laws _aa well as of the law * of Nature and of _^ God , and therefore J » _seoula education ; to the free exercise of their industry , and therefore * to amended laws ot master and man ; to » a subsistence out _o' the soil , " and therefore to an effective poor-law , as the corela- tive of nrivate nronertv in land 1 _'VthTretai _!^^ or unskilled , cannot be a 8 certained by haphazard antagonism , but by equitable and judicious combination , we shall , without pledging ourselves to any special system of social reform , en- deavour to elicit the best means by which those rights , appa- rently conflicting , but really identical , may be reconciled ; and we bhall encourage all well-directed efforts on the part of indi- _viduals , or of societies , to effect their reconciliation . Meanwhile we shall advocate freedom of trade until the ex- nmpl <; of this country shall be completed in itself , and _consutn- mated in the reciprocal acceptance of other countries . Perfect free trade means a federation of the civilised globe in the works of industry . Though insisting on the right and duty of the state to provide the means of _hkcular education for every individual xviio may think fit to take advnntage of it , we shall do homage to the efforts of every clays or sect to extend education in accordance with its own peculiar tenets , if such be made in a spirit of can- dour and toleration . And we shall more especially notice and rorward those endeavours to extend refinement and knowledge _wrliich are made by bodies , of men united under the titles of \ themuums . Public School Associations , or Literary , Scientific , mil Mechanics * Institutions . Hut in _promoting ; the claims of the people , we hope to show hat the _satiHluction of such rights , and the deliberate anticipa- ion of their peremptory demand , will be conducive to the peace , he _poiver . and the prosperity of the country . In a _clastt-of subjects that overrules every other—affairs of > emoion—we shall claim equal freedom of utterance : every _orsuasion will meet with respect—with the sympathy due to _onscience seen in action ; but the pure religion , the soul of _rhioh is faith in God obeyed in love to man —which is _s _. _iperior > all sects and _compriilu-ruls them all , will animate the un- _easins ; ami strenuous endeavours for iu own complete ematiol- ation . _hyinnatliisins ; with all honest conviction , we shall be cc U .. diiiciiss ; all forms of religions influence and working- _Bclesiasiical _lnstituumis . clerical laws , _gocial _coiiflicta of faith ii _. l _pracun ... In short we will realise in our intention the old ti | ii ! rforin «« l proniwfi of religious equality . " Wo shall also advocate the removal of . Usabilities which press 1 any class «» l iv _i-ioniHtH _n . _mmg our _felhiw-countrymon ( such , » r uiHtancu , as those of the Hebrew persuasion ) , and which , by . oir ro . nal .. l .. j ( o .. tin . statute-book recal the periods of intolc- iricu anil _uxclusivuiu-ss ihut gave them birth , and _staud out 111 | ii _; n opposition to the univursnl tendencies of the age . In this ilvocacy we shall tell every British subject , of whatever creed , lat h « _Htauils equal in ri _, rhts , in _privileges , n esteem .

      Tlie Actual State Of Literature, At Home...

      tlie actual state of literature , at home and abroad ; the influence of literature or of eminent works , as they appear , on society ; and events , public or personal , bearing upon literature—in short , the contemporary history of literary affairs for each week . The free utterance of opinion will lend its own inherent strength to our review of literature : we shall not be debarred from noticing books , nor obliged to cramp our notice in straitened or ambiguous language , from the fear of offending against esta- Wished doctrine or veteran prejudice . We shall rely on the _£ _S 5 _£ _X _^^^^ which we shall as * of them . . . The Arts will be treated in a _congenial spirit . Art is the k perforrned by cultivated feeling ; its office is to train the _^ _p _irations and wishes of the mind , as distinguished from re _£ son or calculation . It is a great element of social _dis- _j u To bc effectively developed , ft must be true to itself ; to be P rendered so > itB discussion must be openhearted . We shall endeavour to describe art as it is , and to keep in view the eternal principles which lead to perfection . Our notice of the Drama _^ m £ de 8 Criptive as well as critical ; in Music , we shall wed 8 Cience to natural feeling ; in Painting and the sister arts , while checking error we shall strive to foster every indication of _growing power ' 6 The progress and incidents of Science and Natural History will be reported as they happen , with the freest exposition , so aa to make their bearing popularly understood . Illustrations will be thrown in whenever they may be needed to assist the comprehension of the reader , to elucidate tbe text or even to fortify an argument . Original composition , in prose or Terse , will complete the J Essays on literary or social topics , Verses animated b th u £ interest 3 of the day , Fiction _exposing what of u J fe elud £ neWspaper intelligence , political or literary _dia- Cu 8 sion-these will lend their help to our main purpose-to the f utterance of opinion , and the restoration of heart-feeling to thp _hnsimxx . nf _Hfo We " 5 l _" ot enfSce upon others the _exclusiveness we deprecate ; An OpEN de 1 , ARTMEnt will be reserved in our paper , for the expression of anv opinions , however opposed to our own , on the gQ _£ condition { h &{ the contributions accord in length with the _exiffencies of our space , in language with the decorum of tone an ( f irit thafc we r snall enforce throughout our columns .

We intend it for a direct reflex of Life , as it exists _ in its triumphs and in its trials , in its errors and in itg achieved truth 8 , in its relics of the past , its enduring in- fluence 8 and it 3 eternal hopes .
