While the CONTINENTAL will express decided opinions on the great questions of the day, it will not be a mere political journal:  much the larger portion of its columns will be enlivened, as heretofore, by tales, poetry, and humor.  In a word, the CONTINENTAL will be found, under its new staff of Editors, occupying a position and presenting attractions never before found in a magazine.
