[page 89, column 1, continued:]

The Southern Literary Messenger, for August, is chiefly noticeable for a long attack on the “Massachusetts Proposition for abolishing the Slave Representation as guarantied by the Constitution.” We have not yet read this article so thoroughly as we intend. Among the other contributions we observe one from Mrs. Jane Tayloe Worthington — a lady of high accomplishments and fine genius.

We find the following queer inquiry on the cover:

Will our Correspondents and the Editors with whom we exchange inform us how they would like to see the form of the Messenger changed the next year — to the size and style of the English Blackwood?

This review was attributed as being by Poe by W. D. Hull.
