A Southern Organ in the North.

(From advertisement from DeBow’s Review, June 1857)

The undersigned has determined to establish a weekly journal in Philadelphia, to be entitled the SOUTHERN MONITOR.

It will be conducted on the plan of his memorial to the Southern Convention, as published in the March number of De Bow’s Review.

The SOUTHERN MONITOR will defend the decision and opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott case; and it will advocate the Constitution and the Union on the terms and stipulations agreed to by our forefathers. It will support the Democracy, the only national party now in existence; and it will not be sectional in being Southern; for nowhere else but in the South is the Constitutional and Union party unequivocally in the ascendancy. Its mission will be to combat Black Republicanism, and to repel assaults on Southern rights and Southern institutions. And that it may be effective, the cooperation of Southern men, and friends of the South wherever they may dwell, is earnestly invoked.

The SOUTHERN MONITOR will likewise be a Literary and Family Newspaper; and contributions and correspondence from the pens of the writers of the South, and others who may be interested in the cause, are respectfully solicited. It will be a sheet of large size, and handsomely printed on new type. The first number will he issued on the sixth day of June, and it will be published regularly every Saturday afterwards. All who desire to encourage the enterprise are requested to transmit their names, without delay, to the Editor. The undersigned refers, by permission, to James Lyons, Esq., President of the Southern Convention.

Terms of Subscription, one copy per annum $2 in advance; three copies, or one copy for three years $5; single copies 5 cents.

Editors friendly to such an undertaking will please insert the or otherwise bring it to of their readers.   The favor will be cheerfully reciprocated. Address
